Unbelievably, friendly staff. Really felt like they cared, much more so than a 4 or 5 star hotel where they have plastic smiles and you know they don't care. Beds were clean and comfy, most important thing in my view. Furniture is old, and appears newer in photos. Bathrooms could use updating as well, but they were clean. Good place... More

Great check in and lovely room but insulted by the paper plates and plastic cutlery at breakfast. In fact the whole of " continental" breakfast was a joke. You would have been better off making it room only and not insulting me. No milk served with tea or coffee. We would have cried if we didn't laugh!

I stayed here as part of a Rocky Mountaineer package, I was aware that hotels in Kamloops are not highlight rated but I was pleasently surprised just how big and comfy the rooms were. Hotel is located right in the centre of Kamloops which make sit easy to get out and about. There is great restaurant/mirco brewery next door called... More

Having traveled some measure of the globe, I have never been made to feel so welcome and valued in a hotel as I have been at the Thompson. And had it been my experience during one stay, I'd be impressed. But I've spent just about as much time at the Thompson as at home since the beginning of 2013, and... More

We were traveling through Kamloops and needed a hotel room for one night. Used booking.com and came across this place. Got a great price, plus it was pet friendly.

Stayed in this hotel as part of our Canada tour in June 2011. The staff were very helpful and the young lads handling the bags were very enthusiastic. The breakfast was nothing special but adequate. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but this did not detract from the experience. It was a pity we could not stay longer in... More

We stayed at the Thompson while in Kamloops for a hockey tournament. The rooms themselves were comfortable, but dated. However, you can tell they are used to hosting large groups. Check-in was quick and efficient, as was check-out. The boys loved the games room, and we were able to rent the theater room for a movie one evening. The pool... More

This hotel was conveniently located near the highway and all necessary stores. The bed was comfortable which is important for me! There was a very small gym which was good enough but if a lot of people were to use it at once it would be very awkward due to lack of space. The hot tub and pool were amazing... More

The Hotel met all of our needs, top marks for staff. The hotel was unfortunately under renovations which is nice to see, but they should be compensating their guests for the various inconveniences. Great location.
