Barry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing Stay.

Fabulous stay. Empire is an older motel, like so many in Penticton—but if you are looking for the iconic 1960’s motel vibe that is spotlessly clean and family run this is the place for you. There is a large pool, numerous BBQs and plenty of outdoor seating. It is walking distance to Skaha beach, which is the better of the 2 lakes for families with small children. Highly recommend.

Great Place to stay and Great Price.

We had an amazing stay at the Empire Motel at a great price. The rooms were updated and clean, the owner/manager was very friendly and helpful during our stay. It also has a nice outdoor pool area and bbq area. I believe the outdoor pool opens in May.
