Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott West Kelowna
Full breakfast was wonderful. Coffee pretty good as well. There was no gluten free bread. Thankfully we brought our own. Also no lactose free yogurt. There were alternate milks but would have been great if lactose free yogurt was available in request.

Oasis Inn
The motel was in a good location so I had an easy time getting to where I wanted to go. The light in the ceiling was pretty dim. It was hard to see anything with the blinds shut.
