Once a year I travel into Trail and I always book the Best Western Columbia River. Always accommodating and friendly. Guess they understand what is like to travelling. Try the bar Foxy's as the dining room was quiet being early in the day. Had the French Onion soup and WOW it was good - went down super with the steak... More

Always clean and staff are very friendly. Seniors discount at 55 yrs and breakfast included is a good value. Really, where else are you going to stay? Restaurant and lounge is very comfortable and welcoming. Beautifully decorated. Wifi. Well that just about covers it. Ok, I need 200 characters for the review. Hm......the bathrooms are modern and spotless. Jeez, I'm... More

Just returned from a 4 day business stay at this hotel. Overall a good place with friendly staff, clean rooms and a fairly good included breakfast. The adjoining bar/restaurant was enjoyable with a surprisingly good menu and food. Lots of attentive staff in there and we had fun at the bar every night ! ( fyi, the tv's in the... More

Stayed overnight in Trail, BC. We found the hotel was clean, the night front desk clerk provided great service, the bed was comfortable. Our only complaint was that the room was noisy from traffic on the highway. Breakfast was included and was the usual buffet style with cold cereals, bagels, English muffins, breads, scrambled eggs (dry and tasteless), thinly sliced... More

They have done a great job of renovating this property - the rooms and beds are excellent! The only downfall is its located beside a big industrial place but if you can look past it, it will work great.

Great Room service and great front desk staff (Michelle) helped me enjoy my stay. The highway nearby is a bit noisy but I managed to get a room at the 'back' which helped a lot. Cleaning staff went out of their way to accommodate guests so that rooms were ready between sporting events and deserve a huge 'thanks'! A

We were pleasantly surprised to find a very well kept and clean room upon check in. Everything was exceptionally clean from the bathroom to carpets and floor trim. Our trip was for a family emergency and this location provided us with a quiet place to rest at the end of a long stressful day. The only thing holding me back... More
