I stayed for two nights and it was a decent enough place. Not a lot of flair or anything, but clean rooms and the staff always makes sure to say hello when you walk in. It is across the bridge and not downtown, but if you don't mind a bit of a hike or want to drive in to town... More

Had a very enjoyable stay here. Pleasant motel, large room, very comfortable bed. Clean accommodation and good value. The only downside was the lack of tea and coffee making facilities in the room, otherwise no complaints.

This is a good place to stay for a budget traveler. Nice views, good price, decent rooms, breakfast. For the price you can't really lose. No complaints at all and I would stay here again. Only upside would be if it had a pool or hot tub.

The motel sits on the hwy, but is off the road far enough that there is no noise. All the rooms have a nice patio with chairs included to enjoy the outside view of Nelson and the Kootenai River. Such a gorgeous area.

We stayed 3 nights at this motel in a top floor room, during the Nelson Cruise Car show. Motel was full. Was quiet, easy to sleep. In the afternoon a lot of road noise if slider is opened. The solid foam mattress I'm not used too. It was very firm, the foam doesn;'t breath so the down side gets hot.... More

We have stayed here the past 6 or 7 years. It is across the river from downtown Nelson. They have 3 floors. The second and third floor have balconies with views of the river. The road that goes by is fairly busy so when you sit out on the balcony you do have road noise, but still it is nice... More

My hobby outside of work is to travel in Western Canada on my motorcycle and then write about it afterwards. And on the two trips I've made to Nelson so far, the North Shore Inn has been the friendly, welcoming motel at the end of a long, hard day on two wheels. The facilities here are great and I really...

I had looked up the prices of many hotels in nelson, this being one of the cheapest at $62. It was my friend, myself and my 8 month old baby in a room with two queen beds. For the price it was pretty much what I expected. One of the above reviews complained about the iron mark and the patch... More

The North Shore Inn, although it's an older place, fulfilled all our needs perfectly. We were in Nelson for a wedding and fhe only time we were there was to sleep, we weren't looking for a resort. It was affordable, clean and surprisingly quiet even though it was right beside the road. The blackout drapes were a great touch, as... More

For the price, this is a good option for a short stay. We stayed for one night on our travels and while it is a bit dated, the room does have a fridge and microwave. There is no coffee maker but there is a small continental breakfast with coffee, juice, toast, bagels etc.
