Guest Reviews
- Tim (8/5): - Great view of surrounding mountains Sink had a bit of sewer smell
- Leslie (8/5): Worked for what we needed. - The communal kitchen was great! It was also great to sit outside in the sunny weather. Beds were kind of firm..
- Melissa (7/5): - I liked the location being so close to everything, walking distance to the grocery store as well. Was in a quiet neighborhood but next to highway so it was very quiet. Was clean. Couldn't find staff upon check-in. Bed was hard
- Clinton (10/5): If passing through Smithers, I would stay here again. Walking distance to all restaurants. - Great location, clean, quiet, comfortable
- Mike (10/5): -
- Samantha (7/5): Convenient location, close to town, friendly staff. - We liked the convenient location to town, the clean rooms, and the friendly service. They gave us fresh towels and toiletries everyday and there was plenty of parking. We found our rooms too hot and stuffy, we tried to adjust the thermostat, but its didn't do much to the heating issue. Would have also been nice for the kitchenette to have utensils to use for food.
- Andrew (9/5): Great location with modern, clean rooms. - Great location, just across the hwy to Main Street. Stayed for a Ski & Stay trip; appreciated the discounted lift tickets for the family available at the front desk. Room appeared to have been recently renovated - is modern and clean. Parked right out front.
- Dustin (6/5): -
- shayanao2020 (10/5): Great place for a trip home base or a quick stay - I have stayed here many times and never had a complaint. Always lovely service, clean rooms, comfy beds and pleasant to have amenities like a microwave and fridge in the room. Will come back time and time again

- Sonja (7/5): Schlichtes, einfaches Motel. - Vom Highway aus gut zu erreichen und in Nähe des Stadtzentrums. Es war sehr schlicht, für einen kleinen Aufpreis hätte man eine etwas schönere Unterkunft bekommen.
- Ben (8/5): - Room ans bed were nice, and convenient location to walk to grocery store and downtown The parking lot has a few giant potholes that should be fixed, got a flat tire from a pothole in the lot and saw another vehicle with a flat day in parking lot so similar event might have happened

- Cornelis (9/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): - 3rd time staying here with our poodle. Always return as big room with area to eat with table and chairs, close by grocery store and fast food, fridge, microwave, always well cleaned and no rug which helps with our pet allergy.
- Cindy (7/5): Standaard motel met topservice, maar gehorige kamers - We verbleven hier één nachtje op doorreis. Het is een standaard motel zoals je er onderweg wel vaker tegenkomt, maar de dame aan de receptie maakt echt het verschil: heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam, ze deed er alles aan om te zorgen dat alles in orde was.
We kregen een kamer in de hoek, vlak naast de gastenkeuken en wasserij — normaal niet mijn voorkeur — maar we hebben geen last gehad van lawaai. Om 22u ging de deur op slot, wat voor rust zorgde. Bovendien waren we blij dat we zelf de was konden doen en gebruik konden maken van de keuken om ’s avonds iets te eten.
De kamer was heel proper en het tapijt was duidelijk vernieuwd. De muren zijn vrij dun, waardoor we de "avondactiviteiten" van andere gasten konden volgen. De hoofdkussens waren niet echt comfortabel. Ook leek het interieur wat een samenraapsel van meubeltjes — dit mag gerust eens vernieuwd worden voor een meer samenhangende uitstraling.
- Bruce (8/5): Comfortable. - Large room. Comfortable bed. Quiet location, though thin walls. Easy walk to stores and center of town. There is a well set up communal kitchen with seating. Rather dated decor, but well maintained.
- Stanley (7/5): -
- Julie (10/5): - We were greeted by the owner who was most pleasant and helpful. The room felt very clean. The little garden and hanging pots were attractive and well cared for.
Great restaurants were within walking distance.
- Kris (10/5): - Clean, nice lady at check in. Bed could have been a little softer
- Lorin (9/5): A super stop in Smithers - We had a very good stay here. The room was comfortable and well situated. We walked to a terrific bistro for a super meal. No complaints!
- Vivian (8/5): -
- Inger (8/5): -
- Alex (8/5): -
- Al (10/5): - Nice place. Great staff. I’m a repeat customer and will stay here again.
- Debbie (8/5): In a pinch I’d stay again but wouldn’t be my first choice. - We chose it as it was pet friendly. The lady at the front desk did try to move us to the first floor upon request as I didn’t want my dog going up and down the stairs disturbing anyone but wasn’t able to accommodate. Even with the windows closed, the road noise was very loud. The floors seemed dusty or gritty.
- Jennifer (9/5): -
- Dmytro (8/5): -
- michele (8/5): - Comfortable room within walking distance of town
- Douglas (8/5): - Lovely new bathroom.
- Gwen (10/5): Would definitely stay there again - Updated rooms, walking distance to shopping and restaurants

- Donna (10/5): -
- Heather (8/5): A pleasant stay at a well situated motel. - A very clean and well situated motel. Friendly staff. Everything we needed for our stay. Just the door stuck a bit.
- Tracey (8/5): -
- Allison (7/5): -

I love it about them so will keeping staying here everytime for my triathlon There isn’t anything that I don’t like
- lindasH5025VY (10/5): Great place - Very clean and friendly hotel. They audit the cleaners work to guarantee cleanliness. I was very impressed. The staff was friendly and accommodating if anything was needed.
Would recommend as a great place to stay
- sui chun alice (10/5): - Had washer and dryer and eating area with kitchen, really appreciated Nil
- Catherine (8/5): - It is an older motel near downtown Smithers.
Our unit was clean and everything was as advertised. The beds were firm which was okay for my daughter (30+ yrs old) but a bit too hard for me (60+ yrs old). There is a communal kitchen for the units to use.
The employees were excellent, both front desk and cleaning staff. They were friendly and helpful. They also provided us with good options for restaurants and shops.
- H (10/5): - Loved the community kitchen!
- Kelvin (8/5): -
- Shelley (10/5): - Room was newly renovated. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff and easy check in. Convenient location to downtown.
- Kristy (10/5): Would stay here again! - The shower in room 24 was amazing! The beds were comfy too!
- Peter (4/5): Besser andere Unterkunft suchen - Relativ zentral Unser Zimmer ziemlich muffig und nachts wurde meine Frau von Flöhen gebissen. Wahrscheinlich von Hunden die im Petfreundlichen Motel vorher genächtigt haben.
- Gerda (8/5): - The cleanliness, brandnew bathroom, staff.
- Ken (8/5): - Updated bathroom, recently renovated
- Amelie (9/5): -
- Morné (10/5): - For a comfortable stay, I can definitely recommend the Fireweed Motel. You'll find friendly staff ,free parking, impeccably clean, and quiet rooms. Its prime location, close to a major grocery store and various fast-food options, is an added bonus.
- htravelbug (8/5): Pleasant; Conveniently Located - It was very convenient having access to a communal kitchen & laundry ($2 a load). The kitchen was clean, tidy & well outfitted. The room was functional &, thankfully, there was a portable air conditioner in the room. The bathroom had been updated & was very clean. It is a pleasant, convenient (very easy walking distance to the main restaurants & shops), reasonable priced hotel.
- Helen (8/5): Pleasant Accommodation; Nice Kitchen Facility. - It was very convenient having access to a communal kitchen & laundry ($2 a load). The kitchen was clean, tidy & well outfitted. The room was functional &, thankfully, there was a portable air conditioner in the room. The bathroom had been updated & was very clean. It’s not that we didn’t like this feature. I simply think some people may prefer not to stay in room #24, as it is right next to the communal kitchen & there is a patio area immediately out front that guests can use. It could have been a bit noisy. But, the group that sat there & chatted were very low key & didn’t stay long.
- Rob (10/5): - Quick check-in process. Staff very friendly and helpful with questions asked. Room was clean, quiet.
- Jo-Anne (8/5): It was very pleasant. - We were only there one night but bed was comfy, room was clean and the coffee was great.
- Suzanne (10/5): - The room was clean, spacious and is dog friendly. Comfy bed. Everything you need is in walking distance.
- Debbie (10/5): - It's a nice place to stay
