The location was nice, close to the beach and downtown.

Small old room with sagging beds, old rusty refrigirator and small windows. Next time we will book a newer place.

Tel-a-Friend is a great little.Vernon hideaway. The owners are very accommodating and really pay attention to detail yet give patrons their space. Great balance and not easy. I felt like I was at my own summer cabin but with exceptional service. It's quiet (despite location just off Hwy 97), amazing space, great beds, plenty of very hot water, efficient air conditioning PLUS all the household items you would ever need (though I still used my own) to help keep price affordable which it was. Parking directly outside my unit and easy access to everything downtown, beaches, bike trails, quiet neighborhood. Good walk score going downtown, but great exercise on return. The owners truly earn the greatest compliments for consistently providing comfortable lodging at an affordable price.Thank you, Doreen and Dolores, it was way more than I could have expected. Side bar. I did not see any other units, and I am a solo traveller, but I had a comfy queen bed in separate quiet back room that stayed cool even at 39 degrees and a twin in the outer room. Larger families inquire, please, plus not designed around small children's playground needs.

What's there not to like after all that? Definitely would go back.

Loved the warm friendly greeting. Owner was excellent at making you feel welcome. The suite had lots of cute vintage decor and the kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with everything you needed. Owner made my granddaughters visit extra special with a cute pumpkin bucket with treats.

A little close to highway but host provided earplugs. Furnace was hot but heat didnt reach back bedroom as much.

I always have a good time at the Tel A Friend Motel. I feel comfortable, cozy and safe. The gas furnace heats up the suite in minutes, unlike electrical baseboard heaters. I was in a suite that had a native theme and it was very quiet. It had its own outdoor seating area. I looked up into the tree and low and behold I noticed a wooden carved bear on the top of the tree. Another lovely stay at the Tel A Friend.

Would have liked to stay longer.

Price and the kitchen with fresh ground coffee, parking

It was all a little to kitschy for me, but some people would love that western flea market charm
