We were caught unaware of some event which sold out the Castlegar/Nelson area so had to look further afield for a reasonably priced room. The grounds of the Villagers Inn will not instill a sense of confidence or comfort, and the lobby is not much of an improvement.  Our check-in was handled quickly by a very pleasant lady who provided us additional information about the hotel. Our room was not plush but most importantly, it was clean and secure. The laminated floors were a pleasant change from well-worn carpets usually found in budget hotels. It had a refrigerator and microwave, solid Wifi, and a comfortable bed. This hotel seems to have a number of long-term residents who you may encounter in the lobby or outside. Unfailingly, they were polite and friendly. We had a lot of trepidation about this hotel but for the most part, it was fine and well within our budget.

Not fancy but clean and safe

Avoid this place at all costs.  The whole place stinks of cigarette smoke, yet it is listed as NON SMOKING.  Surely someone must have a weird sense of humour.  The carpet is filthy.  The rooms are advertised as sound proofed JOKE.  You can hear everything inside and outside these rooms.  It also advertised a Restaurant onsite, the neon sign was lit up that it was open.  On enquiring we were told "Um no it is shut".  We then drove around town looking for something to eat.  Choices were a dingy cafe that was shut anyway, Chinese which not everyone eats.  We then drove another twenty minutes to the next large town to EAT.  Impressed much.  
The rooms.......PLEASE DONT LET ME GET STARTED.  Filth personified.  I sprayed everything with disinfectant spray before I would even sit on the bed. The TV well you had to be a Rhodes Scholar to even turn that thing on.  By 5am the next morning we were packed up and gone.  On leaving we placed the key in the box that reception request you put the keys in on departure.  We then receive an email accusing us of not returning the key. WTF really are your eyes painted on.  I would avoid this place at all costs.  I guess the moral to the story is DONT TRY AND SUPPORT SMALLER TOWNS BY STAYING.  Pity because some small towns are real little gems.  BUT NOT THIS ONE.

I would give it less of a rating but the lowest is one star

Dated rooms not overly clean or well maintained but comfortable bed with clean linens.  Not all room appliances work and lots of extension cords strewn along walls.  Noise wasn't a factor.  Plus is that it has a restaurant, pub, and liquor store attached.  Check in was easy and limited staff was friendly and efficient.

Basic econ hotel

This is your average, a little dated, stock standard hotel with an attached pub and diner (and in this case also a liquor store). I originally wanted to give it 3 stars for completely average, however, during a weeks stay the beds were not made up once and overall cleanliness could be improved - there was some sticky stuff on the wall behind the bin for example.
Having said that, the beds are new and you have TV, internet and also coffee in your room. The downstairs diner offers good food.

Average "hotel with a pub"

My husband, my mom and I stayed for two nights at the Villager Inn in Fruitvale. The rooms were not at all fancy, but were clean, quiet and comfortable. The restaurant downstairs was excellent and they even had a liquor store on the premises. Although we didn't visit it, there was also a pub attached to the motel. We chose the Villager because it was close to our relatives, however if you are look for a very reasonable place to stay along your journey through this beautiful area, it would be a good choice.
