Free wifi! I do like the location of this hotel. It is very close to quite a few food places. The only thing I am not a fan of is the bathroom door. It does not close all the way. It is the design of the door. Aside from that, I am very happy with this hotel. They do have a sports bar in the lobby. It is pretty nice with quite a few tvs. I will be recommending it’s place to my clients.

I spend one night in Kamloops with a friend while taking a trip on a train. Bathrooms were clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming. The hotel is a little old and not in the best shape. Decent hotel with good service.

Bad and good experience. Stopping in at this place on my way through to Vancouver. Thought this place looked okay on line so I booked early. When we arrived the building was updated and modern. Smelled nice and it was hot that day, however the hotel was cooled to a good temp. The staff was very friendly. Went to the room and it was so-so. Not the best room, but not bad enough to go to a different hotel. The area of concern was the riff raff they allow in the hotel. The level of clientele was low. We really go to know this when we were trying to sleep. People were partying in the hallway and were very loud. We called down to the manager and they said they would take care of it. We waited and the noise came back. I called down again and management said they would be removing the loud guests shortly. The noise then stopped, however a good night’s sleep was out of the question at this point. Not sure if it is the proximity to the casino, but the quality of customers was very low during our stay.

Well this hotel was not terrible I was very disappointed. The website does an amazing job of making this place look like a modern upscale trendy boutique style hotel in reality it is an old unappealing building with a few cosmetic upgrades(think of an old lady with a facelift and boob job). I was pretty upset and immediately regretted my decision. When we got to the room and saw 2 lumpy beds. If your going to spend a pile of money to upgrade a hotel maybe put some of that budget to comfortable beds. I have to say this place did have a lovely rooftop pool area complete with a bartender. It’s pretty great a little small but that’s okay. All and all I would say if your looking for somewhere to stay for more than a night on your way through town you probably want to keep looking.

My family and I went to Kamloops for 4 nights and 5 days and stayed in a family room at 540 Hotel. I’ve been to many hotels in the past and this place was great. Reading the previous reviews, I think there was construction going on earlier in the year but it is all finished now. The room was spacious with a nice mountain view; 2 queen beds and a large couch. Everything was spotless and clean. Breakfast was included in our nightly fee and the breakfast each morning was spectacular. We got to choose any meal from the breakfast menu and it was super tasty and a great deal as well. The staff were always super friendly and helpful. Parking was easy to navigate as well. However, the WI-FI was pretty poor quality and difficult to work with. Otherwise, everything was great and we would love to go back again!

The hotel was smart to spend money on renovating parts/areas that would appear great on their marketing materials(online & print). However, the room I stayed at was less than impressive. The rough patchwork in the bathroom walls was very visually displeasing. The blinds are not black out blinds and cause lots of light to come through the window first thing in the morning making it difficult to sleep. The soundproofing between the room and the hallway was also poor. One could hear almost everything happening in the hallway.

Stayed a midsummer night driving back from Banff to Seattle and wasn’t particularly disappointed. The rooms are decent, A/C blows cold and wi-fi coverage is abundant. I got em to throw in a breakfast voucher too. Once i got there, I thought their underground parking was nice but packed to the gills. And not the easiest to navigate. Their terrace pool was a hit with the boys as was their breakfast buffet. I ordered from the a la carte breakfast and was made to wait for a full 55 minutes … it’d have been nice if someone had told me I had a choice between them and the buffet. But then this is Canada and while they say«everything is better» they surely aren’t referring to their customer service skills. Yet I won’t let the restaurant staff mess up my experience with this property’s management in general.

When we left Montana, we decided to go back to Oregon through Canada. I had never heard of Kamloops, but my husband, the model train fanatic had, and had ran across another fellow modeler that was from the area and told him about a good hobby shop in the area. Adventure on. I read the reviews about the construction going on here, and that was fine, it happens, and as long as it was not in the room with me, didn’t care. We find the hotel and park around back, as there is no available street parking and they are attached to a casino. We got in line to check in(15 mins-3 people ahead of us) and as they explained to us where to park, which in an underground tiny garage, the girl checking us in tells us we need to hurry and move the car that they are quick to ticket cars out there. Take note of that if you are going here. When we got to the room, it was okay. I have pictures of what was a serious downgrade for this place that made me think it was a place I would not stay at again. The beds were not the same. Two queen beds, one was nicer than the other. One was clearly newer and plush and the other one was horrible, too short for the box springs. My question had been this, if you were traveling with another person, who was going to get that awful bed? It was bad, we tested it. That set the tone for the entire hotel. Something about the fact they could not upgrade both beds in a room, major turnoff. They put us on the second floor, the room had a view of the manky rooftop and a grocery store across the street. I have traveled with my dad and his wife, plus my sister has joined us out of town, had we had this room, I would not have stayed with a bed as the one in the picture. I hope I was able to capture it well enough in the photo, but in person it was really noticeable that the bed was too short for the box springs and less plush… yes beating a dead horse to death, but for $ 149(priceline) a night I would expect better. The Hyatt Regency was $ 124 a night, in Calgary, and offered so much more. I would do more research next time and see what else is there. The town is cute enough we agreed we’d go back to check it out.

Actually this place is no longer called the Executive Inn but the Hotel 540. There is free underground parking. The check in process was friendly and professional. The rooms are and comfortable. However, did find the HVAC system a little loud. The staff seem friendly. The restaurant was a bit overpriced for breakfast.
