Myself and some girlfriends stayed at Empire Motel and were pleasantly surprised with how clean the rooms and the pool/bbq area were. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach and in a great spot by Skaha. We will definitely stay again!

Had a great stay at this motel. Room is clean, my only complaint was the shower can be slippery, but that's why they provide the anti slip mat to use.

You cant beat the Empire motel, incredible value for money.We stayed with some friends and had a great time. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the pool and courtyard area is very nice with lots of seating . The location close to the lake makes it ideal and Estelle is very friendly and helpful.
