About Elk Motel
Two highways meet at Keremeos, and the traffic they bring is why a village of this size supports more rooms than its population alone would explain. Elk Motel keeps its rooms at 310 7th Avenue, in the thick of things rather than out on the edge of town, which suits anyone who wants to park once and then walk to a meal or a shop before turning in.
Motels differ from one another in small ways that matter a great deal once the car is unpacked. Some rooms come with a full kitchenette and some with a bar fridge and a kettle; pet policies vary and so do the rules about extra guests; a ground floor room with the vehicle outside the door suits anyone travelling with gear, and a room facing away from the road suits anyone hoping to sleep. Longer stays for work crews are common in farm country and are usually a matter of asking.
Reach the office at 250-499-2043, or look at elksmotel.ca first. Book early through the harvest months and for long weekends, when the valley fills with people chasing fruit and the road east toward the pass and Manning Park runs busy in both directions. If you expect to arrive late after a long drive, say so when you reserve, since a small office may not keep someone at the desk all night. Air conditioning is the other thing to confirm in a valley that sits hotter and drier than the Okanagan floor.
