The Best Cheap Hotels To Book In Kamloops Canada

Affordability is definitely one of the lures of Kamloops, British Columbia, a mountain town nestled in a valley at the confluence of the North and South Thompson Rivers. A magnet for hikers and off-road bikers in the summer and skiers in the winter, Kamloops draws fresh air fiends with its Pineview Valley mountain biking trails, hikes among clay hoodoos above Kamloops Lake and cougar- and bear-spotting at the nearby British Columbia Wildlife Park. Swimming opportunities also abound at the rivers, McConnell Lake and the sandy beaches of Riverfront Park, to name a few. Enjoying all this natural bounty needn’t cost a fortune, especially when you stay at one of these cheap hotels in Kamloops, bookable with Culture Trip.

Bonus for workout enthusiasts looking for a cheap hotel in Kamloops: the fully equipped gym has a treadmill, stationary bicycle, dumbbells and an elliptical trainer. Dining-wise, if the several fast food joints near the hotel don’t ring your bell, local favorite Arigato Sushi (across the highway) just might.

6. Hampton Inn by Hilton Kamloops, for a good night’s sleep

Spacious king room with loveseat, large desk and pops of color at Hampton Inn by Hilton Kamloops

You’ve got to love a hotel that provides proper blackout shades. Everyone deserves to sleep in at least one morning of their vacation, right? But with so many outdoorsy attractions close by (BC Wildlife Park, Sun Peaks Ski Resort and Stake Lake), you won’t be lounging in bed everyday. Spacious rooms and suites are livened up by touches of turquoise and aquamarine. There’s an indoor pool, jacuzzi and gym, in case hiking and mountain biking don’t provide enough of a workout. Get ready for an active day out with a waffle and pancake breakfast.

7. Quality Inn Kamloops, for shopping

Splurge on the suite with a fireplace for those long winter evenings when you can enjoy the shadows from the fire dancing on the wall. Quality Inn is part of a cluster of wallet-friendly hotels across from Aberdeen Mall, and while there are no on-site restaurants, dining options nearby range from handy fast food joints to Twisted Steak, a local favorite.

8. Best Western Plus Kamloops Hotel, for proximity to downtown

Hotel

It’s a banner day when you go looking for a cheap hotel in Kamloops and find one with a saltwater pool. The Best Western Plus also takes its eco-credentials seriously and offers electric vehicle charging stations (Tesla and J1772). Thoughtful extras include bike-storage facilities, as well as more standard amenities such as a pool and hot tub. The handy location, 1mi (1.6km) west of downtown, is ideal for a night on the town, but if you prefer to self-cater, opt for one of the homey suites with comfortable armchairs, knitted throws, antique-style furniture and full kitchenettes.
