<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\nIt is a natural assumption that a chain hotel will offer a run-of-the-mill experience, albeit a consistent one, but the Vernon Quality Inn offers a surprising departure from the ordinary. The main reason for this is the ownership; the hotel is locally owned and family-run. Additionally, the hotel manager, Vinil Sood, is far from your average hotel manager, and the upgrades and amenities he has painstakingly added are impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Award-Winning Leadership Develops From Loving Where You Live<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To say that Vinil is dedicated to customer satisfaction would be an understatement; He is absolutely passionate about crafting exceptional guest experiences. His infatuation with perfecting the guest experience is evident in the many awards the hotel has received, such as the 2024 Tourism Excellence Award from the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce. So, what drives Vinil to relentlessly seek ways to enhance his hotel guests’ stay? Apparently, the main reason comes down to loving where you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe love the great community around us,\u201d Vinil says, explaining that creating a fantastic hotel experience for visitors to discover is just one way he can help to promote the area he loves. \u201cWhen we chat with our guests, it really shows that we have succeeded in surpassing their expectations; we work hard on sourcing value-added amenities our guests might not be expecting, and our client reviews show how popular this is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Little Extras That Make a Big Difference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The upgrades Vinil refers to include state-of-the-art, in-room climate control systems and unique shared amenities such as a brand-new infrared sauna. \u201cMany people visiting Vernon and the hotel are outdoor enthusiasts who live a healthy, physical lifestyle,\u201d he tells us. Hence, the reason for adding the new sauna\u2014it complements the property\u2019s pool and hot tub perfectly, offering a complete detox option for hotel guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Providing an elevated guest experience makes good fiscal sense, too. \u201cIn this economy, people really want to get their money\u2019s worth,\u201d Vinil explains, \u201cAnd the many upgrades we have done prove we have heard that request.\u201d Hotel amenities and quality upgrades are just one part of what makes this Vernon hotel a great find, though, since the prime location plays a huge role in the positive feedback coming from patrons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Step outside the hotel and you are minutes from Vernon\u2019s top attractions. Locations such as Kal Tire Place, home to an NHL-sized ice sheet for hockey, and a popular destination all year round for trade shows. The hotel is close to shopping, walking trails, parks, and more. To top it off, Vernon\u2019s world-renowned Silver Star Mountain resort is just twenty minutes away\u2014an extensive year-round skiing and biking resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hotel That\u2019s Changing How Visitors Experience Vernon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vernon\u2019s status as a top destination for Canadian and international tourists stems from the wide choice of activities you can do here. Vinil\u2019s team has come up with a creative way to help guests make the most of all that is on offer by curating a series of potential itineraries. \u201cI actually made most of these itineraries myself,\u201d Vinil shares. \u201cSince I love exploring the local area, and have a valuable insight into the many shops, golf courses, hiking trails, and restaurants, I wanted to help our guests by putting together sample trip itineraries\u2014and encourage others to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vinil\u2019s example of showcasing local excursions has certainly rubbed off on others; a quick scroll through the hotel’s Instagram page<\/a> reveals a dizzying array of trips taken by hotel patrons, along with valuable tips for making the most of the property\u2019s prime location. Along with the itineraries to wineries, alpine adventures, and other local attractions, Vinil has undertaken another initiative that hotel guests love\u2014a discount program for local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eating and Entertainment Options Are Just Steps Away<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur front desk has a full list of over 35 participating businesses,\u201d Vinil tells us, and that list features the best of the great food and entertainment options Vernon has on offer. Linked businesses include discounts at the much-loved Kelly Obrien\u2019s Eatery (directly across the street from the hotel) and the iconic Mr. Mike\u2019s Steakhouse, where Quality Inn guests receive free appetizers with their meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No need to worry about breakfast, though; it is covered by a complimentary buffet featuring fresh fruit, waffles, and a range of other options. \u201cWe get a lot of great feedback about our complimentary breakfast buffet,\u201d he shares, adding that the hours have now been extended to allow guests a leisurely breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sustainability Meets Comfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"|\"](\"https:\/\/infonews.ca\/inhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Quality-Inn-Vernon-Receives-2024-Award.jpg?w=1024\" "\\"|\\"")
