The newly opened property features pet-friendly rooms equipped with mini-fridges and complimentary Wi-Fi. Children aged 17 and under can stay at no additional cost when sharing a room with a parent or guardian. On-site amenities include a meeting room with capacity for up to 100 people, as well as two food and beverage outlets: Mughal Garden Restaurant, serving Indian cuisine, and Cactus Annie’s, a pub-style venue offering live music and casual fare.

“We’re proud to welcome Motel 6 in Merritt to our growing portfolio in British Columbia,” says Irwin Prince, president and COO of Realstar Hospitality. “Merritt is a vibrant community and perfectly aligns with our expansion plans for Western Canada.”

The franchise is owned by Jagjit Hans, who described the Nicola Valley location as well-positioned for travellers. “We’re proud to deliver quality and value to visitors travelling in the Nicola Valley,” says Hans.

Local attractions near the hotel include the Nicola Valley Museum & Archives, Rotary Park, Nicola Valley Aquatic Centre, Merritt Golf & Country Club, and the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.
