Was a wonderful place to stay, scenery breathtaking and on site restaurant was a bonus. Very quiet and the property had lovely gardens. Will definitely stay again and very convenient for checking out Nelson.
Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Restaurant was a bit spendy but the portions were large and tasted excellent. It is a ways out of town, but the hotel was quite.
Nicely updated and comfortable bed- did not need air conditioner as it cooled down nicely at night with an open window. They provided a full pot (for 10 cups) of coffee along with coffee in the room. Only about 15 minute drive to Nelson.
We were visiting relatives in Nelson. The rest of our party was at the camp ground, so the fact that the resort was close by was great as was the kitchen when it was our turn to cook. The staff my wife dealt with were super helpful and the cost was quite a bit less than other less convenient options in town.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Clean, renovated room, outstanding view, and great rates. Meimei is very sweet, accommodating, and made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend Kokanee Glacier Resort!
Kokanee Glacier Resort was a wonderful stay — clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything one could need. The Meimei was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This is a nice older property. The room I had would be great for an extended stay as it had a full kitchen. Not a lot of amenities, but this staff was great and very attentive to details. Would definitely stay here again if the price is right.
I had stayed here 12-13 yrs ago so just had to go back…The owner was super nice and couldn’t do enough for us. Room was recently renovated and so was very nice.
15 min from downtown, close to free ferry to Crawford Bay and about 45 minutes to Ainsworth Hot Springs.Would definitely stay again, hopefully soon. Recommend highly if staying in/near Nelson.
