10/10 Exceptional

We loved staying at Kokanee Glacier resort - Meimei was so accommodating and kind, the suite we stayed in was spacious and clean, and we booked a pet friendly room which made it easy to bring our dog. The property was great to walk our dog around. We have family on both sides of the bridge (right in Nelson and in the Balfour area), therefore this resort was the perfect midway point between the two. We will definitely be back and will happily be recommending this resort to others!

Absolutely amazing. Would not want to stay anywhere else while in Nelson. The owners are wonderful as is the food at their restaurant. The view from the hotel can not be beat. I’d give them 10 stars if I could .

The staff were really helpful. The view of the lake was pretty.
Lorri, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Accommodation was good. Clean room and recently renovated. Beyond that, nothing special. Probably over-priced for the type of motel. Not a 'resort'.
James, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Although an older facility, it is well maintained, very clean and excellent staff. The location is beautiful with an amazing view overlooking the lake and mountains. It is a 12 min drive from town so quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful location. View of the lake. Amazing dinning on site. Older motel, but so well maintained. Owner is so great! Close to the beach and nelson. I could've stayed much longer!
Gabrielle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great spot.
Its a quiet clean area. They are clearly upgrading the property which didnt have an affect on our stay. We got a newly renovated room with a living/kitchen area. The staff were very accommodating and checked in with us to make sure all was good often. The little restaurant had amazing food too. It certainly doesnt feel like you are close to the highway either. We will definitely come back if we are in this area again.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Nice and clean .Couch was hard as nails small TV carpet was very old
Rick, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is way better than we anticipated. The room was very clean with new appliance and new flooring. The bed is very comfortable either. There is a small living room with couch , dining table. You can see the lake right outside the room. It’s worth every penny we paid.
grace, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The suite had a separate bedroom and a full kitchen including plates, glasses, cups, silverware, toaster, microwave, cooking utensils, and even knives and serving utensils. Quite a nice surprise. I go to Nelson every Summer and have stayed in many of the local accommodations. This one is definitely one of my faves now.
