About Westridge Motor Inn
Highway addresses do a particular job in a town where much of the traffic is passing through, and Westridge Motor Inn holds one at 9913 Crowsnest Highway in Downtown Osoyoos. Fruit sales, wine sales and cross border traffic all move along this route, which is a good part of what keeps the town busy from spring through to the end of the harvest.
For a room on a highway, the questions worth asking are about the details you notice at two in the morning and at seven the next day. How late can you arrive and still get a key? Is parking right outside the unit, or is there a lot to walk from? Which side of the building faces the road, and can a quieter room be had if you sleep lightly? Can a cot or an extra bed be added? If you are in the valley for work rather than a holiday, ask about longer stays, since weekly arrangements are common in agricultural towns where the labour arrives with the season.
The number to call is 778-437-2185, and westridgeinn.ca covers the rest. What surprises many first time visitors is how little of the surrounding country resembles the rest of British Columbia. This is the driest and hottest part of the interior, sagebrush on the hillsides and irrigation keeping the orchards and vineyards alive on the flats below, with a long warm lake in the middle of it all. The border crossing is close, downtown is a few minutes away in any direction, and the beaches are near enough that a highway room can still be a lake holiday if you want it to be.
