Reviews for North Star Motel

Review 1:Somewhat thin walls.

Review 2:Quaint little motel. Nice and quiet for the most part, and just off the beaten path. Very clean; great amenities (i.e. very well stocked kitchenette). Showers had nice hot water, with good pressure to boot! Room had a very welcoming vibe/atmosphere ... House-keeper(s) even did my dishes for me one night (to my great surprise) - musta been a mistake though, hah! Luckily I didn't get used to it ;P. Great view of the ski/stars at night.

Review 3:From the moment you arrive you feel like family. The owners take GREAT pride in their establishment, which is readily evident in the cleanliness and overall visual appeal of the motel.

Review 4:Only downside was the door knob lock. It was very difficult with arthritic hands to unlock.

Review 5:The owners were friendly and easy to be with. Their European coffee and homemade muffins were so delicious. I could hardly wait for them each of my 3 mornings and the warm good morning. The gardens and water fountain made this a beautiful spot.

Review 6:The owners were very friendly and helpful. The motel was a quaint little place that had a very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The fresh homemade muffins and coffee in the morning was a wonderful surprise. I would definately stay there again.

Review 7:The hostess was very welcoming and friendly! We enjoyed being able to sit out in the yard in the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the evening. The room was very clean, comfortable and quiet with air conditioning and a fridge.

Review 8:Very friendly, and a fantastic view.Very quiet and not far from a fantastic fish & chip shop. Nice hot tub in a gazebo.The owner said that they are getting round to new signage.

Review 9:Can't think of any.

Review 10:North Star is conveniently located within a 3-minute drive from the town core. It is a family-operated motel, and the hosts are incredibly hospitable and friendly. We stayed at North Star over the May long weekend, and for a family of four the room was spacious enough to feel comfortable. There was even a dining area with a table and chairs for everyone. Thanks to the kitchenette, we did not dependent that much on public eateries. The on-site hot tub was a nice place to relax after a day of hiking around. Overall, we had a fantastic stay, and will definitely stay there again when traveling around Kimberly.

Review 11:Trish was extremely friendly and helpful! There were lots of little extra's, in addition to a well-stocked kitchenette and suite. Nice, quiet location...beautiful grounds...a really comfortable getaway!

Review 12:Liked the way it was furnished, clean, quiet, relaxing. Hosts were very friendly & accommodating. We would stay there again & highly recommend it.

Review 13:It is a bit dated with electrical wires and plugins strung all over the walls and ceilings.

Review 14:Hostess was very friendly and accomodating. The rooms were clean and well supplied. Bed comfortable.

Review 15:Nothing

Review 16:Affordable, dual double beds. Son loved the outdoor hot tub. Owners were so friendly, the girls liked the Valentines chocolates when checking in. Just far enough out to be country quiet but close enough to be convenient. Would stay here again! Thank you

Review 17:Location. A few minutes drive to ski hill. Well stocked Kitchenette. Very clean, and cleaned nicely every day. Owners very friendly. Nice price. Would stay here again and recommend to others.

Review 18:The staff were SUPER friendly. I felt at home as soon as we arrived. Loved the room- super clean, nice furniture. And the shower head was AMAZING. Spent two nights- wish we had stayed on for 3.

Review 19:Nil - it was all good.

Review 20:Trish, the owner/operator is an exceptional hostess. She manages a clean, affordable, and convenient motel with amenities (frig, microwave, coffee in the room), hot tub and finds time to bake cookies and muffins for guests. We would definitely return and do recommend this motel to others.

Review 21:The only thing that wasn't great was the wifi. It was pretty dodgy and I had some work I wanted to do so it was a little frustrating. If you are not doing business this won't be an issue.

Review 22:I really liked this little spot. Cute, clean, really nice people , very helpful and friendly. I thought the complimentary coffee in the lobby was pretty good and I'm pretty fussy about my coffee. I felt safe there. It's close to the highway so you can hear the traffic but it wasn't an issue at night time. The beds were super comfortable, we both slept very well. They do have a hot tub there, we didn't have time for that but it looked charming .

Review 23:Great place to stay!

Review 24:A wonderful husband/wife that own & manage this motel. They were very friendly, welcoming & warm. Loved the fresh baked muffins & OJ in the morning! Outdoor hot tub was fabulous where they have it located, very clean & well kept. Enjoyed the numerous seating areas on the property to relax with a glass of wine (or coffee) to enjoy the fresh air & lovely well groomed property. Much quieter than being in town , just a short drive away.

Review 25:I kept blowing the fuses in the unit :) Perhaps a sign on the wall advising which outlet to use for which appliance as well as what not to use at the same time....

Review 26:The motel unit is clean, comfortable and spacious. Owners are friendly and make you feel welcome. The hot tub and gardens are very relaxing. Love the rainfall shower head.

Review 27:Wi fi was hit and miss not really the problem of the motel though.

Review 28:This is hospitality at its best. We were welcomed by the owner efficiently and warmly. She was extremely helpful with local knowledge. We were offered coffee and biscuits. We were encouraged to use the garden and the hot tub. Rooms were well equipt and comfy.

Review 29:We almost missed the entrance because there is a B&B sign just beyond their drive and the motel sign is hidden by the tree growth. Internet connection is a bit wonky, but hey, I am at a Clarion in Calgary right now and I have the same issue. I don't judge a place by the quality of their internet connection.

Review 30:The room was exactly what was in the picture on Booking.com. We were told that the air conditioning had been put on prior to our stay "because there is nothing worse than getting in off the road and walking into a hot, stuffy room." Trish and Torben were so friendly and talkative, made us feel right at home. The room was made up for us when we went off exploring for the day and even towels we could have used again were replaced with fresh ones. Trish gave us ideas of where to go in Kimberley to eat and provided us with some highlights of the area as well as a map. The grounds and building are extremely well kept and look inviting. Coffee was available in the office and offered to us upon our arrival. The bed was sooooo comfortable. It felt sort of hard when we first sat on it but it was the most restful sleep ever and the pillows were the right cushiness too! I will recommend the North Star Motel to anyone who is going to the Kimberley area. You will not find a better value for your dollar in all of BC. Trish and Torben are the nicest hosts who make you feel like you have been lifelong friends and have come by for a visit!

Review 31:Truly...the only hiccup was finding the right spot to stand to get a wifi signal...but who needs to be connected when you're in such a beautiful, scenic spot!!??!!

Review 32:This remodeled motor inn fit the bit in every way. While it is out of Kimberley a bit, it is not that far...and a great bargain! The room was immaculate, well stocked, nicely decorated...and the owner was absolutely delightful! The grounds were nice with a seating area under a gazebo, a covered hit tub and hiking trails into the woods behind the hotel. We definitely will be back!!

Review 33:WiFi excellent and FAST outside. Inside a little dodgy. (But hey, who needs internet while on vacation... ;-) )

Review 35:The wi-fi was definitely iffy.

Review 36:Everything. Most comfortable beds we have ever had in a motel. Super clean, quiet, extremely pleasant stay. Gazebos in shaded gardens. Location was close to everywhere we wanted to be and there was a free coffee shop at the office with freshly ground coffee.

Review 84:The location couldn't be more peaceful. We felt at ease leaving our bikes parked out front. We enjoyed the hot tub and relaxing outdoors. If we were looking for a place to get away for a bit with some more friends, this would be top of our list in the area!

Review 85:Wi-fi got bogged down until late at night, but we weren't relying on internet access so not a big deal. We thought it may have been due to our room being one of the farthest from the office.
