Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Had my coffee on the balcony in the mornings, and the view is one of the best in town. Walking distance to everything. Bob and Leslie really do a great job and make sure you have everything you need due your stay. Highly recommend this hotel, and it will be my go-to place in Fernie from now on.

We had our usual awesome sleep on New Year’s Eve after travelling from Manitoba during the day. Very nice people who recognized me from a year ago. The room was spotless and smelled lovely and clean. I highly recommend this motel! There is a lovely Chinese restaurant on the premises.

Got a ground floor room with parking for our motorcycles right out front. There are chairs and a small table outside to sit and look at the scenery. The room was clean, although it is dated. the motel is close (walking distance) to restaurants and bars. The price was reasonable considering the season (late summer). In summary i would definitely stay here again.

We stayed overnight on our way to Osoyoos. The people in the office were lovely and the room was spotlessly clean. We paid 89$. The bed was very comfy. There is o Chinese restaurant adjacent and we had a great buffet there. A great stay.

I am enroute from Vancouver to Toronto and was looking for a nice, clean and reasonably priced motel to stay overnight!... Very reasonable prices and clean here at the East Kootenay Motel on the east side of Fernie right on Hwy 3.... Even a nice little kitchenette to cook your own meals!... I will most definitely stay here again on my return trip from Toronto!... Joe Magdall....

Room was very clean with a large bathroom, which was nice. We travel with our small dog so it's always nice to find a place that allows animals and is clean. A. & W is right next door and was great for breakfast and late night snack. Would certainly stay there again.

Lovely views of the mountains. This hotel is simple, clean and comfortable. Staff are very friendly. Room was $79 which was a real deal in this area. Great place if you are just passing through. Location was convenient. A&W right next door for breakfast.

Two level Motel. The lady at the desk was extremely helpful and friendly.... she even offered and helped us up to the second level with our suitcases.There are lovely views straight across the highway of mountains that are pretty spectacular. There is a fuel stop directly across the side road which is next door to the motel with a 7 Eleven attached which has hot food and groceries etc etc. There is a small restaurant attached to the motel too. There is a full fridge and freezer. The mattress was comfortable.Microwave in room. Stayed in room 225.
