We recently stayed at Beachside Motel in Penticton and had a pleasant experience. We booked three one-bedroom suites.
The biggest advantage is definitely the location—just steps from Skaha Beach, which makes it super convenient for families and anyone wanting to enjoy the lake. It’s also a lot quieter than Okanagan Lake. 3 minutes drive from Walmart, 7 minutes from Canadian Superstore.
The staff were friendly and welcoming, and check-in was smooth. The motel offers handy amenities such as air conditioning, two queen beds with a sofa bed (easily accommodating a family of four), an outdoor eating and BBQ area, and a kitchenette with a fridge and microwave, which are great for longer stays.
That said, the rooms are a bit dated and could use some upgrades, but they were clean and comfortable, which was what mattered most for us. The rates are also quite reasonable compared to other places in the area.
Overall, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly, family-oriented stay near the beach, Beachside Motel is a solid choice.
