Love this place It's…read morekind of ridiculous.... cinder block walls and very very dated decor - but it adds to the charm. I've stayed here twice. The place has.. character. Shabby Chic minus the chic. But it's central, less than 10 minute walk to the beach/strip, and it's really well priced. There's a group of us that go up every year and it's a great time. Let me be clear... Black Forest kind of reminds me of the shining, but it is not dirty. It is well maintained and quiet........ probably because of the cinder block walls ;) I HOPE FRANK IS THERE NEXT YEAR!! Anyone else remember Frank!?

My friend found this place using Google Street View. He found a couple bars he wanted to go to and…read morethen panned down the street looking for a place to stay. No fooling. It's the busiest time of the year. It's August Long Weekend and according to all the wineries we stopped at, this is the busiest weekend of the year. This place is really clean. Since there were a lot of people coming up for the weekend, we got three rooms... two with two queen beds and one on the bottom floor with a bed, a couch and a kitchen. It's pretty central. There is a convenience store across the street, a nice Italian place down the block and within walking distance to more restaurants. We ended up walking to the channel to float down the river because it's so close--- but getting back is another story. If you walk in the other direction, you find the bars we meaning to go to in Downtown Penticton. It's so reasonable to stay here, even during their busiest time.

Main St is walking distance with coffee shops and other stores. Far enough from highway 97 so no road noise at all. Very quiet at night. The bed is totally comfortable. I would venture to say it is better than the bed at the Westin where we usually stay while traveling. The room has laundry - that's something I did not expect. A private washer and dryer tucked in a closet near the kitchenette. Pretty cool. Nice granite counter tops and stainless steel full size fridge. Full set of silver wear; including set of cooking knifes. Dish set and wine glasses all in their proper places throughout the kitchen cabinets. Again, didn't expect any of that and it came very handy. Great sofa set with love set. 2 Toshiba LCDs - one in bedroom and the other in the living room. Great private balcony with wicker furniture set - a table and 4 chairs with great view of the lake. In summary, Will be back!

While the exterior design of the hotel left much to be desired, this location (although small)…read moreexceeded our expectations for Night 2 of a corporate trip around the Okanagan area. The pool and hot tub were great, you could tell that the chemicals were well managed (with a pool operator also stopping in at one point). It was cool to have the space of a balcony room, although it was empty without any tables or chairs. Wasn't sure quite what to do with the space. It has been very hard to find a double queen room that was separated, it was nice to be able to have that privilege. Staff were very friendly and made a noticeable attempt to be helpful.

Far below Coast Hotels standards - this hotel probably should have been plowed into the ground…read moreseveral decades ago, a very "retro" experience. - Parking is limited, and many parking spots were unusable due to the way many patrons parked further limiting the parking space supply. - Room was scorching hot, with only an ancient absurdly noisy window type air conditioner which even at 11pm it can't seem to adequately cool the room. - Most locks apparently do not work correctly, and require you to hold the key card "just right" to open the door. If you do not know the technique, it's unlikely you'll be able to enter your room or enter through an outer door. - Miniscule 10 sq ft / 1 sq m elevator, with a door that remains open for 2-3 seconds then slams shut with a huge amount of force, and oh, by the way, watch your step because the elevator floor is not aligned with the hallway floors. - Toilet is so close to the wall you need to sit sideways on it. Staff tried hard, and the room was well appointed, but the overall building structure is very, very tired.

From ice scrapers with snow brushes hanging right in front of parking spots to a fast Level 2 charger for electric cars at the end of one building, to comfortable beds, they have it nailed. And the price is right, especially if you start checking prices of places just across the border to the north. Second, they are friendly and accommodating on a level that surpasses most hoteliers. We had a great night's sleep and will be back!

The gardens are so nice it almost makes you want to pretend you know something about plants. On-site restaurant? Yep. Tasty food just steps away. The staff are amazing--friendly, helpful, and genuinely seem to care if you're having a good stay (rare these days). There's a pool and hot tub, which is a win, and the beds and pillows are so comfortable it's honestly hard to leave in the morning. If I had to dig deep for a complaint, I guess I could say there's no microwave. But unless you're planning to live off popcorn and reheated pizza, you'll survive just fine. Already looking forward to stay #6!

Let that sink in. 7:30 am woken up while I am on vacation to be asked if I could consider moving rooms? After the initial shock of worrying that something bad had happened which could be the only reason the phone rings at 7:30 am I can state that this is the worst customer service experience in a hotel I have ever experienced. I spoke to the Manager and she said I could choose to have a good day or bad day over this. Wow. The poor customer service example starts at the top. No wonder the staff are incompetent at this hotel. Never stay at this Ramada again.

I had actually been here before about 10 years ago with my parents and also loved it then. But with a huge group of amazing friends and family it was over the top awesome. Overlooking Skaha lake and only 10 min to Penticton this place cannot be beat. It is a throwback to a simpler time. White-washed Greek villa style home with eclectic, randomly designed rooms. If you like consistency, wifi and satellite TV...please move on. This place is not for you. But, if you like to explore finding new things around every corner, enjoying the simple things in life like amazing food (the breakfasts are insanely good - i will venture to say the best breakfast buffet I have ever had!), strolls in the hills, wine and cheese in your own little corner with view, picking fresh fruit from trees (the most amazing yellow plums, apricots, pears etc), star gazing, late night hot tub and lounging by the pool... then please do not miss this place. I cannot wait to get back!!!

With that said there's no TV or microwave in your room. I didn't ask or look if there was a microwave in the common area but there was a large tv and lots of movies to watch in there. Lots of outdoor seating on the porch and a communal fire at 8 each night. Very nice! I'd love to go back there again. Also very quiet and not busy of 4th of July weekend so if you have pets afraid of fireworks this would be a good place to stay . From what I understand this place got new owners last year and looks much better than it has in previous years. Very happy with our stay
