Bowmont Motel
The Bowmont Motel is a favourite hotel in Penticton for the whole family – including for pets!

The Bowmont Motel has an inviting outdoor pool and hot tub in the middle of an inner courtyard. The courtyard is a favourite place for guests to hang out with BBQs and seating areas.

Ramada by Wyndham Penticton Hotel & Suites
The Ramada is one of the best hotels in Penticton but it is also one of the best pet-friendly hotels in Penticton! Visitors to Penticton love to stay at the Ramada for its resort-like feeling. There is a large courtyard and pool area even with a poolside bar. Visitors in the winter will even be able to enjoy the year round hot tub and cozy fireplace in the adjacent Station Pub restaurant.
And best of all? There is no restriction or the types or size of pets! Go wild and bring your giant lizard. The only downside is perhaps the walkability if you want to take your lizard for a scenic stroll. The hotel itself is located on a busy street and access to the Channel Parkway is about 500m away. Which isn’t far but some other options on this list are directly across from dog-friendly parks and trails.

There is also an indoor pool and hot tub for guests visiting outside of the warm season (or if it’s smoky in the summer!). All guests receive complimentary breakfast.
