Some rooms are renovated, and we asked to be moved to a renovated room because we were staying for 4 nights. The owner was very accomodating. The rooms are very clean. Pool is nice and clean.

Well situated with a pool
Although a little older (my wife remembers staying here as a teenager) it was clean. A previous guest had stolen the HDMI cable for the tv (yes we have Netflix on my iPad and laptop) but once informed they came quickly to fix. Steps from the beach, bike rentals and some good restaurants. Starbucks and Tim Hortons also also not far.

Good value, basic budget motel. The location is near the lake, restaurants and the main sports/entertainment venue in Penticton. Rooms are dated and a bit tired, but mine was a good size, well-maintained and clean. I visited in off-season and arrived after hours, and there were no staff in the office, but communication was good and I was given pass code for the room. I would stay there again when next in Penticton.

Excellently maintained suite that was perfect for my family. The room had everything we needed. It is no frills and obviously a retro motel, but outstanding for the price. The courtyard, pool, BBQ area, and patios were perfect. It far exceeded my expectations and I will definitely stay here again.

We try to make Penticton once a year. The Bowmont is our go to motel if it’s available. Proximity to canal, lake, loco landing and restaurants is amazing. Room kitchenette was adequate and stocked with what you need. A bit noisy in the pool area with lots of kids but the week days are great!! Cheers

Very clean rooms, cute decor and quiet location. It’s an older motel but well taken care of. Pool was closed for maintenance which was a bit of a disappointment but opened again later in the evening so they were on it. Good value for money for sure

Valentines in Penticton
Perfect stay at the Bowmont! A favorite motel in Penticton - retro cool, comfortable, and convenient to downtown. Full kitchen (stove, fridge, sink, dishes/cutlery, cookware, small appliances). Lots of hot water. Front shared balcony space - nice in good weather. Would not hesitate to book and stay again!
