Welcome to Kootenay Country Inn

The Kootenay Country Inn, located at 1111 Cranbrook Street North in Cranbrook, British Columbia, offers travelers a straightforward and affordable lodging option with a warm, personal touch. This modest two-storey motor inn, rated 3.3 stars, stands out for its genuine hospitality and thoughtful amenities that cater well to both leisure and business visitors.

Guests frequently praise the inn's welcoming atmosphere, anchored by the friendly and attentive owners who go the extra mile to ensure comfort. One visitor highlighted how the staff turned on the air conditioning ahead of arrival during a heatwave, a small but meaningful gesture that underscores the inn’s commitment to guest comfort. Cleanliness is another consistently noted strength, with rooms recently renovated to feature fresh paint, new carpets, and comfortable mattresses that invite restful nights.

While the parking lot has seen some construction-related disruption, the management remains transparent and apologetic, reflecting their dedication despite circumstances beyond their control. The site’s strategic location on Highway 3, close to the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel and just a short drive from Cranbrook Golf Club, makes it especially appealing to visitors seeking convenient access to local attractions.

Amenities such as free Wi-Fi, complimentary parking, air conditioning, and airport shuttle services enhance the overall value, although guests should note the absence of certain features like a fitness center, pool, or on-site restaurant. Families and pet owners alike will find this inn accommodating, as it welcomes children and pets alike in a smoke-free environment.

What sets Kootenay Country Inn apart is the heartfelt customer service and the quietly comfortable accommodations it offers. This is not a hotel that competes in luxury but excels in sincerity and practical comfort—qualities that are increasingly rare in today’s hospitality landscape. For travelers seeking an affordable, convenient, and genuinely friendly place to stay in Cranbrook, the Kootenay Country Inn delivers more than expected.

Great owners, the parking lot is a bit of a mess with construction but they apologize for what is out of their control. Affordable and along the main path.

What I loved about staying here with my husband was how comfortable the room was. We called ahead of time to reserve a room. I was so happy to see they turned the AC on for us before we had arrived. So thankful as temperatures were up in the mid 30's. The room was super clean, and the mattress was very comfy. The room looked like it had recently been renovated. Painted chairs, new carpet, fresh paint on the walls. No stains anywhere! We loved that they had chairs outside every room so you had the option to sit outside if you wanted. The front staff were amazing too. They provided use with ice and water bottles upon arrival. We stayed for 3 days. and everyday, the housekeeper would come and replenish our towels and ask if we needed anything. The staff are so caring to the needs of their customers. It made it really feel like a home away from home. We loved staying here and can't wait to come back!

The hotel was affordable, it smelled clean when we walked in, and the customer service was better than any of the large chain hotels. Super sweet lady, always polite and smiling, very helpful and genuine. Exceeded expectations by far!
