About The Spanish Villa Motel
Finding a room in a lake town in July takes more planning than visitors expect. Penticton draws people to the water from every direction, and the accommodation along the waterfront fills early in the season. The Spanish Villa Motel is at 890 West Lakeshore Drive, on the Okanagan Lake side of the city, where the beaches, the channel entrance and the downtown blocks all sit close together.
Waterfront lodging in this city is doing something quite specific. Guests come for the lakes, for the vineyards climbing the benches on both sides of the valley including the Naramata Bench across the water to the northeast, and for the drive south through Oliver and Osoyoos, and most of them want to leave the car parked once they arrive. Penticton makes that easy, because the distance from a room near the lake to the Main Street shops a few blocks back is a walk rather than a drive. Summers are hot and busy, and the pace slows considerably once the season ends.
Properties of this kind differ in the details that matter most to a traveller: room configurations and how many people they sleep, whether kitchenettes are available, parking, whether pets are welcome, and what the cancellation terms look like. Booking direct by phone at 1 800 552 9199, or through spanishvillamotel.com, is the quickest way to sort all of that out in one go. Ask about minimum stays for the summer weeks, and about the mid August Peach Festival in particular, which is the single busiest stretch of the local calendar and tends to book up well ahead.

Where to shop in Penticton: small, walkable and mostly local
Penticton's shopping is smaller than Kelowna's and more its own thing: a Main Street of independents, specialty food shops that outclass their size, and Cherry Lane covering the mall tier.
