Stays in Abbotsford

Families should note first that the Brookside Inn Boutique Hotel in Abbotsford is adults-only, so it cannot host children. I would keep it for a couples' trip instead. Each room has a private balcony or terrace with garden views, a kitchenette and a walk-in shower, and the sun terrace, garden, lounge and games room add space to relax. With a 9.0 rating from 163 reviews, it is a strong choice for adults travelling without kids.

Sandman Hotel & Suites Abbotsford is built for families on longer stays: each suite has a fully equipped kitchen plus a washer and dryer, so meals and laundry follow your own routine. When nobody wants to cook, a 24-hour Denny's and Moxie's Classic Grill are on site. Abbotsford International Airport is close by. I would book it for families relocating, visiting the University of the Fraser Valley or staying a week or more.

Coast Abbotsford Hotel & Suites is a practical stop for a family crossing between the United States and the Fraser Valley, since the border is just 4 km away. Every room has a refrigerator and coffee-making facilities, handy for snacks and milk, and a continental breakfast is provided. Wi-Fi is free and there is a fully equipped fitness centre. No pool is listed. With an 8.3 score from 451 reviews, I would book it as a border-crossing stopover.

Sandman Hotel Abbotsford Airport sits near Abbotsford International Airport and is listed as family-friendly, pet-friendly and romantic.

There is a hot tub and a sauna, but no pool is listed, so children's fun will be elsewhere. With an 8.1 score from 414 reviews, I would book it for a night before or after a flight.

Best Western Plus Regency Inn and Conference Centre suits families who like a hot breakfast and a quiet evening in. The complimentary breakfast buffet starts each day without a search for a café, and every room has a microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker for snacks and simple meals. Parents can wind down in the hot tub or sauna, or use the gym. Pets are welcome and Abbotsford Airport is close. A score of 8.0 from 976 reviews shows steady comfort.

The indoor heated pool and hot tub at the Clarion give children somewhere to burn off energy whatever the weather, and Castle Park Amusements sits right next door.

The White Spot restaurant is on site, so dinner needs no car, and pets are welcome if the dog is part of the trip. It is a practical family base in Abbotsford.

Super 8 by Wyndham Abbotsford BC is a simple motel off Highway 1, convenient for families driving through the Fraser Valley.
