Chameleon Hotel

I did not know what to expect when I booked this Hotel. But upon my arrival I felt like I had done the right thing. The check in was so perfect. I was made to feel so welcome. The room was amazing with a stunning view. I loved walking around the area trying to decide what to eat. I had only passed through Castlegar once in the past, and this was my first overnight stay, but after being there I have already started making plans for my return, and the next time I will definately be staying longer.

It’s a case of you get what you pay for. It’s an older property and definitely showing its’ age. We loved the area and the downtown is trying to make a revival. The sculpture walk was fun and the museum was great. It was relatively clean, it had working AC, the shower/water pressure was good, the bed was fine and everything worked and we had a self serve continental breakfast. The property definitely has some quirks but we liked it. It has the potential to be a wonderful rejuvenated property. I hope it can get there!

Air conditioning in the room.older place but clean.

No frills, but clean and quiet. Good value for your money.

The price was quite reasonable but the property was a bit rough especially on the outside and the common areas.

It was cheap and owner was so helpful.

It's a little dark when you first walk in but Caden was very friendly and welcoming and the room was bright and clean! We would stay here again.

manager on site was very pleasant and we appreciated the included breakfast in the little kitchen aera.

I'm adding this because travelocity won't let me submit my rankings without something in this box. :(

Thank you for friendly service!

nice hosts, clean and well kept property located downtown

It is an older place, however it has all the amenities. The owner/host was delightful and works really hard to maintain the building, keep it clean and offer accommodations to travellers. Overall, the great customer service and wonderful people made me return. She was very accommodating - i arrived very early and she ensured I would be able to get in fast. Really lovely.

The property was fine for myself, not so good for my wife, it was small, but did what it needed to do.

I had to cancel the reservation because the place was unsafe, dirty and dark, nobody was at the front desk to talk when I arrived. And it looked scary to go around. I looks like a shelter, not like a hotel at all.
I was so disappointed, and their add was misleading. I called to Expedia to cancel this reservation, I hope the did it.

Photos online very misleading. Building was charming but very old. No elevator, no AC in the room - temps were in the 30s, bed very soft. Owner very nice but i would not reccomend a stay there at the price charged

It is a classic old school hotel ...

Great

If you want to find a place where there is no sleep this is the place, everything makes noises and you can hear everyone, place is very outdated place with moldy smells and old and cringy bathroom, they kick you out by 10 am, so no chance to try to recuperate from the sleepless night I would never stay here ever again!!!!

The people who worked there were lovely and helpful the the hotel needs to be updated and hopefully they will do so as they can afford to but the actual room was clean and tidy and the the mattress was comfortable. And it was $40 a night cheaper than anything else. The hotel was in the old downtown core of Castlegar and had several good restaurants and a pharmacy almost next door. Even though it was “downtown” it was really quite quiet. I would stay again.

It is worth calling the hotel directly, this is a small town and staffing hours are very thin as hotel employees juggle other jobs. However, they are super welcoming and made our check-in incredibly smooth, even at 11pm. Continental, serve-yourself breakfast was included near the front desk, where the coffee maker is located (not in the room). Downsides were the mattress (soft, I like firm), poor sound proofing I suspect, creaky floors- the building is very old. The latter could be a plus. Very fresh smell, silky sheets, newly renovated room, mini fridge for less than $100/night. So happy I chose it. Next time I would book with the hotel directly, I think the price is the same.
