Back in the1980’s there was an urban myth that the band Van Halen demanded that, while on tour, their dressing room would always be stocked with a big bowl of M&M’s with the brown M&M’s removed. It was a demonstration of how far people would go to please the rock stars.
We recently booked a stay at the Hotel Zed in Kelowna. Before our stay, the hotel reached out to us to ask if we had any special requests. The tone of the message was light and fun so we responded with a request for a bowl of M&M’s with the brown M&M’s removed. We provided no other explanation.
On our arrival we found… a bowl of M&M’s with the brown M&M’s removed.
Needless to say, we were very impressed! But the M&M’s were just another example of how we were treated like rock stars throughout our stay. The staff were always helpful and friendly. The hotel itself has plenty of amenities including a pool, bicycles and a ping pong lounge. There are also several other lounges (and a great lobby) where guests are encouraged to spend some down time.
The room was clean and well appointed and appropriate for the rate we paid. The location of the hotel is perfect! Right across the street from Kelowna’s lakeside park and just around the corner from countless restaurants, cafes and shops on Bernard Avenue.
We heartily recommend Hotel Zed in Kelowna. We will certainly return (no need for M&M’s next time).
