Wish I could give 6 stars. This is a great price for a very clean room. Very friendly staff that has always been flexible. I've stayed here 3 times and it will always be my first choice. I never wrote a review before but I went out of my way for this because they deserve it.

For the cheapest hotel in Kamloops this was much better then I was expecting. The beds are comfy and clean, lots of amenities in the room (microwave, mini fridge, tv, 2 desks, couch) and air conditioning that can be controlled in the room. Someone more picky might be unhappy here with the decor (it’s dated ) but if you’re just wanting a place to sleep with no worries and no 150$/night bill, here’s where you got it. I travel to Kamloops every few months for business and this will definitely be my go-to.

Great location, my room was very clean and received great service. I spent 2 nights , for $100 a night you can't go wrong. I highly recommend Rider's Motor Inn.

This is a pretty good place to stay....it was clean and the wifi worked, and it's close to everything. The front desk staff gets a fail, however, as both the sink and bathtub had no plugs. I when I called the front desk guy, and he refused to do anything whatsoever to help......unbelievable. He wasn't even concerned.....he just said "oh maybe someone misplaced it". No help whatsoever....... Other than the staff issue described, it was fine......just hope you never neeed any help. And bring your own plugs.

This is just a really modest place. It is a great value for your money if you need to lay your head down for the night. A good television, a microwave, fridge/freezer, a coffee maker. There is an air conditioning unit to keep the room cool, a couch and bed, in the one room I stayed in. The Manager is knowledgeable and assisted me with questions I had about my stay and how to get there from the Kamloops Airport. I recommend this place specifically because of the management. Additionally, I'd like to add that it is right by a McDonald's, so it was nice being able to get food so quickly that I could walk there and back to my room.

This place was better than I was expecting, for the price. Plenty of towels, in room coffee maker, microwave and little fridge. Very happy. The pillows are really thick, so if you like a thin pillow, bring your own. The mattresses are very firm. 9/10, would stay again.
