Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were attending a wedding at The Old Willow Farm Wedding Venue and needed a place to stay for three nights. We wanted to stay in Armstrong, where most of the wedding party lived, but were not confident that the stays there would meet our needs. Vernon had some good options, but if we could find something closer to Armstrong, that would suit us better. We discovered the Castle at Swan Lake, a 12-minute drive to Armstrong, a 10-minute drive to Vernon, and a 21-minute drive to the wedding venue. The first thing we noticed when entering our suite was the laminate flooring, not carpets! Excellent! Have you ever walked on a hotel carpet with white socks? Please don't do it! You'll discover the filthiest socks ever. I always take slippers when travelling and staying in hotels. Another thing that amazed us was the size of the King Suite Deluxe room. It is a room for two people, but the living area was generous with two couches and a chair. It felt like "home" and not a hotel. If you want to do meals, there is a full kitchen, including a dishwasher and microwave. My wife and I enjoyed the Keurig coffees that could quickly be replenished at the front desk. I recommend buying a container of cream to put in the fridge if you do not like fake creamers. No grocery stores or coffee shops are nearby, and it is an easy way to start the day if you are a coffee drinker. You must travel to Vernon for coffee, groceries, or a restaurant meal. Two places we enjoyed in Vernon were the White Spot and the restaurant in the Vernon Lodge Hotel. Don Cherry's restaurant was also good for a pub meal and a beer. Their burgers are delicious. We planned to stay an extra day after the wedding and asked Trudi at the front desk about areas we could explore. She was incredibly friendly and helpful in introducing us to the Okanagan Rail Trail along the beautiful, clear, turquoise waters of Kalamalka Lake. She mentioned if you join the path in Vernon, you can rent bikes or e-bikes. However, this area can be pretty busy on weekends, so she suggested going to Kekuli Bay, which is only 20 minutes along Highway 97 and less busy. However, you would not be able to rent bikes, which was okay since we wanted to walk. The trail runs 50km to Kelowna, with some sections not developed yet, which was fine for us as we only walked 8km of it. Trudi also told us about the Gray Canal Trail system. The Gray Canal Trail system has seven different trail sections. We walked the East Vernon section, which gave us great views of Vernon, the valley, and the mountains on the other side. The Gray Canal Trail and the Okanagan Rail Trail are very easy walks. The night before we left for home, we decided to try the INTERMEZZO CASTLE BISTRO at the Castle at Swan Lake. The dining room was quiet and intimate, with pricing similar to a Cactus Club or Brown's Social House. I had Chicken Involtini, and my wife had Saffron Risotto with Scallops and Prawns. These dishes were excellent and delicious. We finished our meal with coffee, Mango Cheesecake, and Chocolate Decadence Cake. If you are in the area, give this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed. There were some comments in reviews about highway noise. It was slightly noticeable at first but soon became background noise for us and was not a problem while sleeping at night. The beds are very comfortable, and the quilt felt like a weighted blanket, making everything cozy. A few more things to mention are they have a pleasant reading room with a small library of novels. There are two computers available to check emails etc. There is a laundry room as well. When booking, give them a call .vs using the website as you could get a 20% discount (ask!). They also offer discounts for seniors and BCAA members.

Hotel's Favourite
We booked 4 nights here with my extended family for a summer vacation. We do a trip like this every summer with 21 of us. We have been all over the province. This was one of the best accommodations we’ve had to accommodate 4 families with kids of all ages. The rooms are like condos, not hotel rooms. They are clean, and well stocked. The pool is nice and well kept. The adjoining property is the waterslide park. We went there but that is another review. It is on the side of the highway, but well located. There is shopping and restaurants 5 minutes away. And beaches and lakes in all directions with in 15 minutes. If you don’t have a need to be on waterfront, or centrally located and want nice big rooms that can accommodate families, this is a perfect place in the Okanagan. I would come again.

We stayed here because we wanted a room with a view. The room was nice and spacious, and the bed was very comfortable, but there was constant road noise from the highway and the view was obstructed by heavy electrical wires outside the front of the building. If you have any sort of mobility issue, be aware that the rooms are built into a hill and most are not accessible by an elevator. Although there are ramps, they are steep and can be difficult to push luggage up to the car park. The furnishings are nice, but there are also odd things, like the plates being in a cupboard above the fridge, that create inconveniences or problems. We stayed in a room that had two bathrooms, but only one had a hair drier. The food at the restaurant was fantastic, as was the service, but some of silverware was dirty and my husband's water was full of pollen. The attentive waitress immediately corrected both problems when we pointed these things out.

We had an amazing stay at the Castle. All of the staff were so polite and friendly, and even offered our friend the Penthouse for his birthday! The room was massive (two beds, two bathrooms, full kitchen), and all of the amenities were top notch! The room was clean and comfortable, with massive amounts of space for the two of us. We stayed two nights and enjoyed the pool and hot tub for as long as we could. This is an excellent property and next time we’re in the area, we will be staying here again!

The suite was very nice. Comfortable bed, good kitchen facilities. Comfortable sitting area. However, if I were to stay here again, I would specify that I’d want a suite on the top floor. I do not like people pounding around above me. It’s beyond me why people can’t be quiet.

I wanted to take the time to review this hotel and the amazing staff. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, everyone we were helped by or ran into were incredibly nice and went out of their way to make our stay the best it could be. Really happy with the rooms, and they are kept very clean and in excellent shape. Highly recommend this hotel. We will be back again any time we head to Silver Star or Vernon.

We had a wonderful stay. Nice, clean, quiet room. Everything one would need in a room with a kitchenette and more. Trudi at the front desk is a true gem. She explained everything to us, was kind, courteous, and professional. We would definitely stay again.

I’m not entirely sure how to rate this hotel as I was expecting different from the pictures. It is right on a highway not even close to swan lake. We were called at 3:45 to let us know our room was ready. We arrived right around 4 to check in. We were given the key card and ready to go to our room. When we got to our room the housekeeper was still in there mopping our room was not ready as it was still being cleaned. We had to wait outside the room. That’s fine we are not picky and waited for a clean room. But this was very poor communication. The unit was very clean and everything you need. The balcony had a nice view but right on the highway. The bed was absolutely awful as it was rock hard and the bed creaked every time you laid down. The pool and hot tub area was not up kept. The pool had a bunch of dirt at the bottom and the sides of the hot tub was was broken. The ramps at the pool and hot tub were extremely loose and dangerous for someone that may need that extra support. Units very cleaned, neat and everything you need but not what I expected.

The hotel and staff were excellent. Suite was very comfortable and clean ,spacious We stayed 3 nights as it was close to our son 's family to visit and recommended by him. Beautiful pool area. We will go back! It was nice to have a BBQ by the pool. There was a nice market across the highway. The location beside the busy highway was noisey. The restaurant was closed Mon., Tues, & Wed.
