This place is a run down motel that is a fire hazard. I rented room #6 from Dennis Adamson (who is on the board of directors, Electoral Area B) for 700$ a month. That is who I gave the money (cash) to. The bathroom had no ceiling fan, just a hole in the ceiling, letting the rain in making the floor wet and using the toilet was like being outside. Black mold was everywhere in the bathroom. I had no satellite TV and I had to purchase Netflix myself. There was no microwave? The fridge and stove were from the 50's or 60's, which I did not even use. The wiring was too old and the room did not have a smoke detector that worked. The attic had either rats or racoons, you could hear them at night moving around. There was no weekly cleaning, and to let fresh air into the room you had to open the outside door. I finally quit paying the rent (Dec, 2016) because of false promises to fix this room or move me into another room. That is when my troubles began, my room was entered into at least four (4) times when I was gone and I had about $6.000 worth of gold and silver stolen. It was not a forceable entry either. A key was used to enter into my room and my belongings would be laying on the bed, letting me know someone was in my room, talk about being "bold." My complaints to the Hope RCMP fell on deaf ears, all they told me was if I don't like where I am staying I should just move out.? B.C. really lacks laws to protect you from "Slum Lords" who run motels like the Fort Yale Motel. "No fresh air act." I could not even get a fire inspector or building inspector in the area to do anything about this place., like inspect it? My recommendations is stay away from this Motel.
