Top hotels in Academy Hill
Sandman Hotel & Suites Kelowna
This hotel is very old and tired. It’s good that they are renovating. In the meantime it’s not worth the money to stay here.

Great hotel. Really nice location. Lakeside resturant & lounge top notch. However for a couple of nights there was a dog on my floor barking continually. Disruptive to say the least.
