Pangea Pod Hotel

Imagine you could stay in a boutique hotel but only pay for the part of it you actually use. At Pangea, that’s what we created – designer pod accommodation that’s affordable, central, and social. It’s a hub where guests can meet like-minded travelers, but still have their own personal space at the end of the day. Best of all, we put it right in the heart of Whistler’s iconic village.

Great place to stay in Whistler

The Pangea is a really great hotel - I can't recommend it enough. The check-in process was seamless, and the staff were incredibly friendly on arrival. The pod itself was clean, surprisingly spacious, and had some great features like built in fans for circulating air, loads of charging points and shelfs to store things on. There was also a separate locker for larger bags. In the shared space, there were plenty of showers and toilets, all of which were private and very clean. The hotel is in a perfect location for both drop off for the buses from Vancouver, and also access to the mountains. Amazing.

Convenience & okay for short stay

Reviewed By blueheronmarg

Overall the accommodation is in a lovely setting, parking and access to suite were all good. The bed was very hard, no lamp on one side of the bed so to read, one had to use the ceiling light. The kitchen was adequate but lacked dish cloth and towel, dish drainer, cereal bowls, can opener and wine opener.

Located on beautiful Skaha Lake in Penticton, the Waterfront Inn is the perfect location to relax, explore and play in British Columbia’s picturesque Okanagan Valley. The Waterfront Inn provides guests with direct access to Skaha Lake and Skaha Lake Park and is within close proximity to shopping and dining in downtown Penticton.

Cute and great location

Reviewed By Kimmyandducky

Cute little place right by the beach and across from really well kept park spaces . Our camping gear got stolen out of the back of the truck and definitely feel a real life security guard could cut down on local theft from the three motels along the strip but the stay itself was pleasant and dog friendly :) thanks ! Will Stay again :)

A lovely B n B with accomadating hosts

Reviewed By Capilano_13

We checked in Friday the 13th of May for a singular evening of comfort and luxury. At first when we arrived, there was some confusion for our designated room. We moved a couple of times over the course of an HR due to some booking confusion that under normal circumstances wouldn't be an issue. However we had just spent the day traveling, and spending time at the hospital and we were nackered. After a brief period of confusion, things were soon sorted, and the proprietor of the establishment apologized and sent up a conciliatory bottle of wine as a gesture of apology. We didn't expect the gesture, but kindly accepted it! A big thank you to Terra for going above and beyond to make it an exceptional stay. After we settled in, the rest of our stay was dreamy and frankly , we couldn't ask for more. The breakfast was exquisite , delicious waffles covered in fresh fruit and whip cream accompanied w a carafe of hot coffee, tea and plenty of smiles. Kudos to the management,with particular mention for Terra. We would return in a heartbeat!

We look forward to providing you with a comfortable home base as you explore this amazing area. Come relax in our pub, The Brook, after your day's adventure and try an amazing cocktail.

If you want sleep, go somewhere else.

We weren’t told until we were checking in that there would be a loud concert from 9:00 until 11:00 PM in the restaurant below our room. When my husband spoke to the young lady who works here she told him we should just come to the bar and have some drinks, and then it won’t matter. Now it’s 11:30, the music is still going and is so loud even ear plugs won’t cut the noise, and I am not able to sleep. We are on a motorbike trip and are supposed to have an early start tomorrow. Although the decor of the room is quite nice, the bed was the only thing that looked clean. The night tables were covered in dust, the carpet was filthy, there was something sticky on top and down the front of the fridge, the mirror looked like it had been wiped with a greasy cloth, and the bathroom tap was coated in toothpaste splatters. I will never stay here again and don’t recommend it to anyone else who actually expects to get some sleep when they pay for a hotel room.

Emperial Suites

Worst Management

Reviewed By anooshaej

I had originally booked a trip to Vancouver and last minute ended up cancelling due to rise of covid cases & forest fires. A number of days advance notice was given too. I was able to get refunds and free cancellations for everything else I had booked, except this place. The management team was not very helpful or understanding of the situation. I was charged hundreds of dollars when I didn’t even stay at the hotel. I don’t think that is very hospitable or fair to the Guest. The guests can’t control rise of cases or natural disasters, and should not be be penalized for not visiting.
