Had a great stay at this motel. Room is clean, my only complaint was the shower can be slippery, but that's why they provide the anti slip mat to use.

The property was very clean, and the area seemed safe. It's close to shopping, and the beach. Excellent Japanese Fusion restaurant just across the street. Very friendly staff, i was pleasantly surprised when the hostess remembered my name at checkout, despite only meeting her for several minutes at check-in.

Myself and some girlfriends stayed at Empire Motel and were pleasantly surprised with how clean the rooms and the pool/bbq area were. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach and in a great spot by Skaha. We will definitely stay again!

Amazing Stay , Super Clean & Family-Friendly! We had a great time at the Empire Motel! The rooms are newly renovated and spotless, and the owner and staff were so friendly and welcoming. It’s in a great location—just a short walk to the beach, with lots of parking. We loved the pool and BBQ area, perfect for hanging out with family and friends. We’ll definitely be back!
