Our trip was amazing! Loved how the hotel was close to the beach and restaurants. Everything was within walking distance so we didn't have to drive any where. Lovely weather. This was our second stay with you and we will continue to stay with you in the future.

Cool place, not great value for the cost. Much smaller than expected. Super loud noise from upstairs all morning. Ping pong room is fun, and the free bike are handy.

We stayed at Hotel Zed in Tofino and was so impressed that when we took this trip to Kelowna and saw there was a Hotel Zed decided to stay. It was a disappointment in comparison. The hotel was clean and was situated in a good place but didn’t offer anything spectacular, it was no different than most hotels. Our TV didn’t work, there was no coffee machine in the room which now a days, most hotels have coffee makers in the room.
For the price we paid, the Hotel Zed should make there hotels comparable.
