as soon as we entered the inn we knew what we were expecting, cheap, and hasn't been updated since like 1970....the bed was awful, hard as a rock. multiple dead and alive bugs in the room, pictures on web site are deceiving, the view is horrible, the continental breakfast was a joke, consisting of 3 loaves of bread a toaster... more

We stayed at the North Shore Inn in Nelson, BC on the first August weekend in 2009 for a family reunion. As soon as I walked into the lobby I knew it was old. The decor was 1980-ish. We checked in and did the normal authorization with my credit card. I entered my pin number for my credit card and... more

I chose the North Shore Inn because it was listed in the Rough Guide, and Nelson was where I ended up after a day of driving across the lake country on my way up to the Rocky Mountains. The hotel is about 10 minutes drive from the town of Nelson, on highway 3A, which goes up to the ferry across... more

Good sized room with balcony overlooking lake, but disappointed no tea/coffee making facilities in room - had to wait until 7.30am breakfast for drink. Continental breakfast included but little choice of food and eating area in reception area only - no dining room. Reception staff polite and helpful when around. more

Our family is from Lethbridge AB. And we decided to come up to BC for a weekend of skiing. Nelson was the destination we had in mind. After calling around we chose the north shore inn. The kitchen suite was available which was great for the family. I was unhappy about being on the ground floor but the staff assured... more

We enjoyed our stay here very much. We made reservations online and it was very easy to do! The room was a bit small and the air conditioner was very noisy so we slept without it being on. The breakfast was great and the hotel owners were very gracious and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!! more

Upon arrival to the hotel, we discovered that it was not as we were expecting. Although we did not expect it to be a grand resort or relaxing spa, we expected a comfortable, clean hotel quietly overlooking the lake. Unfortunately, we predicted incorrectly. Although I understand the conflicts that are present with independently operating a motel [especially when other competitors... more

For moderate accommodation, the North Shore is very clean, quiet and the owners are friendly. I stayed here for 1 week in June, 2007 and was very satisfied with my room, nicely furnished, comfortable beds and very accommodating, provided a microwave, coffeemaker and there is a small fridge, just great for having breakfast or a light snack during the day.... more

We`have stopped and look at this location as a possibility to stay over night as it offered, Internet access and complimentary breakfast. When we arrived we asked to view one of the rooms as the INN. did not look very busy. When walked up the hall way you could smell cigarette smoke, the carpet was worn out and the interior... more
