Very friendly, accommodating staff. This was the first time we stayed here…what at gem! Simple decor, comfortable bed, very clean! Everything we look for in a place to stay. Parking is convenient. Even though it’s on a busy street, surprisingly quiet. About 25 minute walk to a major grocery store. Close to beach. Nice courtyard area (that we didn’t use) with outdoor swimming pool and BBQ’s. Our new favourite place to stay in Penticton. Two thumbs up.

What we liked: incredibly friendly and personable staff, clean rooms as advertised, good kitchen facilities. What we didn't like: extra guest fees for the 4th guest in a family suite that is advertised to sleep 6 is just ridiculous. The 'master' bedroom that faces the front is subject to INTENSE light pollution from the direct overhead fairy lights- the curtains are not good enough to block this out.

We stayed for my son and his friends bike race. The woman who greeted us was so excited to hear about the boys race. And wanted us to check in after the race to let her know how they did. It was very sweet, she came out and asked the boys how they did when we arrived back at the motel. The rooms were updated and extremely clean. The fridge and freezer were a great size for all of our packed food and while our weather wasn't great the pool and court yard, (with bbqs) looked beautiful and well cared for. Would definitely stay again.

We have stayed here many times, through different ownership over the years, and still like going to this facility. We just finished spending the long weekend and as usual it was comfortable, friendly, good rates. Owners are great and the outdoor area is quiet and relaxing. We will continue to go to the Empire.

What a great place to stay. Its a little older, but is very well maintained. The service was excellent, and we recievec everything we requested without delay. The location is fantastic with convenience stores all around, and just a short walk to Skaha lake. I fully recommended staying here.
