Best Casino Stays in Kamloops for Entertainment

Delta Hotels by Marriott Kamloops has a year-round outdoor pool, a rare treat in the Kamloops winter, with a hot tub alongside, so children can swim in any season. Family rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, the modern restaurant serves a range of cuisines, and there is a fitness centre. Pets are welcome. The hotel is 9 km from the city centre, so a car helps. With an 8.5 score from 411 reviews, I would book it for a family weekend.

Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites-Kamloops by IHG makes arrivals easy for families flying in: a free shuttle runs to Kamloops Airport, 5 km away. The indoor swimming pool and hot tub are there for the evening, and the on-site restaurant and bar save a drive at dinner. Rooms are air-conditioned with free WiFi, there is a fitness centre, and pets are accepted. The 8.4 score from 245 reviews suits a comfortable, well-equipped stop.

A saltwater indoor pool is what I would book the Best Western Plus Kamloops Hotel for with children, alongside the hot tub, and it is a welcome option in the colder months. Family rooms are air-conditioned with free WiFi, and the daily breakfast with warm dishes and fresh pastries makes mornings easy. There is no full-service restaurant mentioned for lunch or dinner, so plan those meals elsewhere in Kamloops.

Wingate by Wyndham Kamloops offers family rooms and serves a continental or buffet breakfast daily, two things I would put first for families. The indoor swimming pool and hot tub keep children busy in the evening, while parents can use the spa and wellness centre or the fitness centre. Rooms are air-conditioned, welcome in a Kamloops summer, and pet-friendly options are available. Kamloops Airport is 14 km away, practical if you are flying in.

The Hue Hotel in Kamloops gives families more room than a standard hotel: rooms are spacious, air-conditioned and fitted with kitchenettes, and family rooms are available. Being able to prepare simple meals helps on a longer stay with children. Wi-Fi is free, the front desk is open 24 hours, and pets are accepted. Cascades Casino is a four-minute walk away, more for the adults. The 8.0 score from 281 reviews is fair for a practical base.

Family rooms at the DoubleTree by Hilton Kamloops are air-conditioned with free WiFi and a tea and coffee maker, and the seasonal outdoor pool and hot tub are the summer treat I would plan around with children. The modern restaurant serves local cuisine with diverse dietary options, useful for families with allergies or preferences. Pets are accepted. Outside the pool season, entertainment for kids will have to come from outings in Kamloops.

A complimentary American buffet breakfast, a seasonal outdoor pool and a hot tub cover most of what a family wants at the Quality Inn, with free private parking on site. Rooms are air-conditioned with a private bathroom, and a fitness centre is available. The outdoor pool is seasonal, so winter visitors will rely on the hot tub instead. For tired parents, the hot tub is a welcome end to a long day on the road.

The Vista Inn in Kamloops is a three-star hotel with family rooms, and I would recommend it to families who want space and a seasonal pool. Rooms have private bathrooms, air-conditioning, balconies and mountain views. The seasonal outdoor swimming pool and the sun terrace suit summer visits, and the on-site restaurant serves Indian cuisine. Thompson Rivers University is a short walk away, and the airport is 11 km.

Rodeway Inn & Suites in Kamloops is a budget-friendly choice for families on a longer stay, with air-conditioned family rooms that include kitchenettes. Cooking simple meals in the room saves time and money with children. WiFi and on-site parking are free, and express check-in and check-out keep arrivals quick. Cascades Casino is a 16-minute walk and the airport 14 km away. No pool is listed, and the 7.7 score from 246 reviews is fair.

Interconnected family rooms at the Best Western Premier Aberdeen Kamloops come with a kitchenette or full kitchen, which I find the most useful set-up for families who want space and simple meals. The indoor pool keeps children busy, while the hot tub and sauna suit parents. A restaurant and bar are on site, WiFi and private parking are free, and Kamloops Airport is 14 km away. The 7.6 rating from 126 reviews is average.

Rooms with city or river views are the draw at the Residence & Conference Centre in Kamloops, a short walk from Thompson Rivers University. For families, the games room and the garden and terrace give children space beyond the bedroom, and rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms. I would suit it to families visiting the university or wanting a simple base; the 7.5 rating from 184 reviews points to a basic rather than polished stay.

Travelodge by Wyndham Kamloops offers family rooms less than 1 km from City Hall, with an indoor swimming pool and a hot tub for the evenings. Each air-conditioned room has a microwave, a refrigerator and a tea and coffee maker, which helps with breakfasts and snacks on a longer stay. There is also a garden, and WiFi and parking are free. The 7.3 score from 245 reviews is modest, so I see it as a practical, functional choice.

Ramada by Wyndham Kamloops has air-conditioned family rooms, some with mountain or city views, about 11 km from Kamloops Airport. The modern restaurant on site offers a range of dishes, which keeps family dinners simple after a day out, and the bar gives parents a place to relax. The hot tub and fitness centre round out the evening, and WiFi is free. A guest score of 7.0 from 578 reviews suggests modest comfort, so set expectations accordingly.
