The Mighty Fraser Motel

I had stopped here for delicious meal last September and driven by the place a multitude of times. This time I was tired enough to get a room for the night. I phoned ahead in to see if they had anything available (there was nothing in Hope), it was more than I wanted to pay but less than the other options in Boston Bar. The man I talked to on the phone was delightful so I went in and was not disappointed. He gave me a complementary beverage and assigned me #21. The room is in the very back corner with a pathway to an amazing view around the back. The building has seen its fare share of time but is a welcome reprieve to a weary traveller. It has everything you could need, including a fridge, microwave, kettle, coffee maker (with coffee), toaster, hot plate, dishes, and pots and pans…not that you’ll need them because the food is enticing. There are thoughtful touches like dish soap, a hairdryer, a portable air conditioner, USB charging plugs by the bed, and even what appears to be controls to pre-warm the bed. Next time I’m tired on the road, I won’t hesitate to stop and rest here. It appears to be family run and I feel good about supporting an independent business that has survived Covid, fires, and landslides!

I was amazed at the pleasant reception received by Mr. Yung and all the other good folks at this property. My room #22(?) was at the back, very quiet, and equipped with everything one could wish for. WiFi reception was perfect at the front of the property but, as expected, became "spotty" at the rear. Definitely a comfortable, safe, hassle-free place to stay for a night or more.
