    No complaints

    The location is great, right beside a very good sushi/ramen restaurant and pizza place. Minutes away from the Skaha beach, only a few minutes drive to Skaha Bluffs if you enjoy hiking. The check-in was easy, the host was very kind and accommodating.

    Nothing. Never had anything negative anytime I stay here. The owner is awesome!!!

    I stay here a few times a year for work. The owner is the nicest, most accommodating person. Unlike flea bag motels in interior British Columbia she keeps all the units clean and updated. You won't find a better value in Penticton.

    I loved everything about this location. The lake is right around the corner from the motel. The atmosphere was so fun and inviting, anyone would have a great time at this beautiful little place. The owner was so friendly and greeted us with a great big smile. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with some fellow visitors, and learning they return each year and have for 15 years because of the atmosphere and the owners :)

    The Valley Star has everything you need for a great stay in Penticton. The facilities are clean & comfortable. The motel is run by a very fun & outgoing family-they were extremely welcoming & readily accommodated our requests (including the odd ones such as using their duct tape so we could strap our unicorn lake floatie to the roof of our car!). & even after a full day spent swimming at the lake, it's great to cap the evening off w/ a dip in the pool, so that is a great perk. Would definitely stay again.

    Bed was firmer than I'm used to, floors are cold so a carpet runner between the beds would be nice. Also, there is minimal storage/counterspace in the bathroom to hold your toiletries.

    Great location, well furnished room, great customer service

    Although we logged on to the internet, we could not access it because it was too slow, at least for us.

    Breakfast? was there breakfast at the motel?

    This is a beautiful property steps away from the lake, with wonderful (and clean) rooms.

    The only things I found missing when I chose to eat in my room (actually on the lovely front "porch") was a small knife like a paring knife ... even a steak knife would have been good. There were only two regular dinner knives and a butcher knife which was too big for my needs. But that is such a minor detail ... everything else was absolutely perfect! :)

    I was upgraded to a Queen with a kitchenette, and it was very handy! The room was very quiet, absolutely spotless, and very charming. You cannot beat the location, and the price compared to similar properties in the area! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Penticton, especially if they don't want to stay downtown, but still want to be close to a lake.

    bed was not very comfortable and even though room was clean and had been updated somewhat, didn’t feel it was worth the price that was charged
