Homey and comforting decorComfy bed
DeborahCanadaI felt like I was staying at the cottage of a relative. Very homey and comforting decor. The bed was extremely comfortable and I slept very well.
PeterCanadaIt was a very accommodating and comfortable stay, and I would stay here again and again !
Tel A Friend is like going to a theme park, "The Old West".
Loved the cotton linen and the super comfy bed.
The suite actually has it's own natural gas heater, which made my room nice and warm :)
A guestCanadaThe location was very handy and central to the places that I needed to be. Doreen was very lovely to work with, and accommodating of my late arrival. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud!! Very, very clean!
ArianaCanadaGreat place to stay for a trip!
Great location, easy access to Vernon and Kelowna, beaches are close by. Great for short trips where you need to sleep and shower, very unique property, has a lot of cowboy charm - loved it!

Questions about Tel-A-Friend Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Tel-A-Friend Motel?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Tel-A-Friend Motel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Tel-A-Friend Motel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Tel-A-Friend Motel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Tel-A-Friend Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Tel-A-Friend Motel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
