Thoughts:
This is a decent hotel and a little bit cheaper than surrounding hotels. The rooms are a bit small and there are no suites and only 1 large room with a king bed and pull out couch.
The pool was warm and the hot tub was nice. Combined with the hot breakfast and fitness room the amenities were definitely great for the price.
There was not much in the area so driving anywhere is a must and the restaurant was under renovations so even getting a meal you had to leave for.
Pros:
Cheaper price than other nearby hotels and the breakfast and pool were good.
Cons:
Not really close to anything and needed to drive to even get some food.

Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa: Harrison Hot Springs
Overview:
The contemporary guest rooms at Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa are equipped with cable TV and pay-per-view movie channels. A refrigerator and coffee maker are provided.
This resort boasts an indoor mineral pool and a large spa bath with a 30-foot high pavilion. There are 3 outdoor pools, one of which is a 1,000 square feet adults-only mineral pool.
The historic and upscale Copper Room features local cuisine and live music. The Harrison Hot Springs Resort is also home to the Islands Bar, offering cocktails and views of Harrison Lake from the patio.
Thoughts:
Amazing amenities and a beautiful resort. The resort is broken up into 3 distinct parts, the original area, the newer poolside area, and the new tower rooms. The original side is their heritage area and is definitely classic, if possible try not to get a room in this part of the hotel as the walls are thin and the floors offer nothing in terms of dampening those above you.
Although the pools are amazing and the hotel is immaculate, it definitely comes at a cost, even if you manage to get a decent price for a room, try to make sure the breakfast is included or else you will be paying $18 per plate for a breakfast buffet. This could be avoided in the summer season by eating at one of the other restaurants but during the off season you may be hard pressed to find something open.
Pros:
Amazing facilities and very relaxing atmosphere in a wonderful setting.
Cons:
Very expensive and seemed to be charged for all the extras.

Pacific Inn Resort and Conference Centre: White Rock
Overview:
A full-service resort hotel’s with luxurious accommodations inspired by the lush ambience of the tropics, offering a one-of-a-kind relaxation experience. The hotel comes complete with a swimming pool, hot tub, spa, as well as a few shops and services right inside the hotel offering massage, and other services.
Thoughts:
The hotel is a bit older and could use some new paint and freshening up. The weather outside was extremely hot while inside during our stay the air conditioning seemed to not be working in neither the lobby/foyer or the rooms. The lobby was nicely done though and the atmosphere was very much that of a tropical resort. The rooms however you noticed the age of the building with scuff marks, dents and dings all throughout the halls.
The restaurant was mediocre as the food was nothing to write home about, although there was a bar, a couple of the drinks we tried to order they couldn't make and they apparently ran out of milk so the kids were forced to choose different drinks.
The front desk staff seemed more pre-occupied with other tasks while we waited about 5 min to check in with 2 of them looking through a book or another 5 when we tried to get towels for the pool. Overall the price was a bit higher but not unreasonable for the rooms and the amenities offered. Might try a different hotel if planning on staying in the area again but would not discourage people from staying here.
Price:
$110 - $250
Although not overly high it did seem like it could use some updates for the price.
Pros:
Tropics like atmosphere and a nice pool and hot tub. The rooms were a decent size and the beds comfortable enough.
Cons:
No working AC (while we were there), restaurant food left something to be desired and could use some sprucing up.

Best Western Plus Hotel and Suites: Kelowna
Overview:
Located right on Harvey Ave on your way through Kelowna, this hotel features a heated pool, two hot tubs, plenty of rooms and suites, hot buffet breakfast with omelette chef on site to take your order and a restaurant and bar on the premise. The best part about this hotel is that it is one of the only ones in Kelowna that accept Airmiles rewards for rooms.
Thoughts:
The hotel was nice and well maintained. The landscaping was nice and each room came with robe and pool shoes to get you to and from the pool. Towels were provided by the front desk and coffee and tea were available in the lounge at all times. the hours for the pool were from 6:30 am to 10:30 pm giving you plenty of time to go for a swim or enjoy the hot tub. The breakfast was about 50/50. Some of the food was great, especially the al a carte omelettes, but the scrambled eggs left something to be desired.
Price:
$170 - $300
The price is a little on the high end but comparable with like hotels in the area. The best part being that you can use about 1300 Airmiles Reward Miles to book a standard room for a night.
Pros:
Nice hotel, rooms are a good size and the hotel is quite. Free hot breakfast buffet and large pool and two hot tubs. Suites are available. And restaurant and bar located on premise.
Cons:
Expensive for a hotel to just stop at for the night. Some of the breakfast buffet was not very appealing.

Town Plaza Suites: Whistler
Overview:
The Whistler Town Plaza Suites is a collection of three Whistler lodges, Deer, Bear and Eagle Lodges. These three buildings, which comprise the Town Plaza Suites, are located on Whistler Village Stroll, a short 5-minute walk to the lifts and Whistler Village Centre. This is "the" ideal location for your active vacation, as restaurants, retail shops and nightclubs are located on the ground floor of The Whistler Town Plaza Suites. You cannot get any closer to the heart of the action!
Thoughts:
These are individually owned units that are rented out through a management company. The location was great and the buildings looked nice even though they are a bit older. They are split into 3 towers spread out around a plaza on the main walk in Whistler. One major drawback to this is that the facilities like the lobby/gym/hot tub are in separate buildings. The hot tub was a good size but the gym left something to be desired as it consisted of a stationary bike and a pop machine.
The unit was a nice 2 bedroom suite overlooking the village stroll and was well kept. The price was affordable compared to the other places in Whistler especially when splitting the cost.
Pros
Cheaper-ish. Centrally located and a short walk to everything in the village.
Cons
Three separate towers with amenities in different towers. Gym was very limited. Parking was extra.

Old Dutch Inn: Qualicum Beach
Although a decent looking hotel with a phenomenal view, it fell short in a few areas.
Pros
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Price was decent for location and view.
Cons
The tub had the start of mold and the sink was chipped. Our breakfast was free because it consisted of toast and coffee as the chef did not feel like showing up. Service in the attached restaurant was slow. Roof in the pool area looked like it was in the middle of repairs from water damage.
Overall
2.5/5
It was just below what could be expected for the price and location.
