Although we were all looking forward to spending a much needed vacation in Penticton, with the fire conditions in neighbouring towns, specifically West Kelowna and Keremeos, we elected to do the right thing and not venture to the Okanagan. Extremely disheartened with Black Sea Motel when we were told that they would charge 1-night to the credit card for cancelling 24hours prior to check-in. Manager stated business as usual in Penticton. Interesting that a state of emergency was enacted for the Okanagan area. Although the charge was placed on the credit card by Black Sea Motel, our booking source was able to act on our behalf and a full refund for the 1nt charge was processed. Based on the concerns in the Okanagan, Black Sea Motel seemed insensitive to the fire conditions and to our request to do the right thing by avoiding all travel to the Okanagan. Bad business decision.

Stayed for 3 days end of July. There was no room service apparently do to lack of staff although other motels I checked were fully staffed. Also no propane for the bbq’s and no interest in filling them.The price has increased substantially over the years and in my opinion, 4 star prices for a 2 star motel.The motel does not even have a pool. The one thing it’s got going for it is the location.After being a customer for many years, I will no longer stay here as there are cheaper better options.

i was travelling with my parents and three kids. i was told upon arrival by the owner that there would be no houskeeping. i was shocked as the stay was over 2000 for four nights. the cleanliness of the room was iffy cupbaords had a strange oder and there was urine on the toilet upon arrival. my mom walks with a caine and when she sat down on the chair... it broke and she injured her leg, when we told the owner he did apologize and said he would "fix the chair". my oldest daughter and I were treated poorly by the owners family member who also run the buisness due to trivial mis communication. sadly it was not an enjoyable stay and i will not be back.

We stay here for second time with the family. Very nice place, great to bring your kids. Located conviniantly to restaurants and just across the beach. The housts are incredible and always to your disposal. I would recommend Black Sea Motel.

Nice location. Motel was clean. No cutlery though. Biggest issue with this place is that the man that owned the place took one look at our group of 4 girls and said "you look nice but NO alcohol, NO drugs, NO boys and NO parties." It was extremely judgemental and aggressive. He put us into a stereotype just because we are young women enjoying a weekend away. And that evening, there was a family with their door open taking shots and laughing and conversing and the owners didn't seem to have a problem with them. It really left a negative energy with us as we first checked in. Definitely never coming back just for those first comments made.

Nice location but everything else was terrible. The guy up front wasnt friendly at all and wouldnt give us a wifi password. Parking was absolutely barbaric. It was like a free for all half of the problem was nobody knew how to park between the lines and you were never gauranteed a spot. The room was a spider sanctuary I actually got bit by one in the room and my ankle was swollen for 2 days. The one stove element didnt work neither did the toaster and the bed was very uncomfortable I would not recommend this place to anyone

Certainly one of the best place to stay in Penticton. Not expensive, the room was nice and clean, with what you need for vacation, but the location is AWESOME!!!! We had a room right across the beach and the view is one of the best. The motel is close to all the restaurants on Lakeshore and the owners are such nice and friendly people! They will help you with anything you need. Definitely recommended!

We arrived to find a dated, musty and run down room for $150 + tax. I was hesitant to stay but Im sure I could deal with it for 1 night. When I found the pubic hair on top of the toilet, that was enough for me. When I told the woman no thank you, we will move on.....she slammed the door so hard I thought the window would break. It was actually disturbing to see such a display of anger. We got a gorgeous suite at the Ramada for $10 more.
