Title: Chilliwack Area Lodging
Post by: coryandtrevor on February 29, 2008, 06:36:20 PM
Looking to stay in the 'wack for one night.

Anyone know of one thats real cheap that might not be well advertised or on the net ?

Traders Inn seems fair @ $55 a night and looks nice and close but would be willing to stay anywhere else nearby.

You could try the Vedder River Inn.  They just built some new rooms.  Not sure what their prices are like.  Another benefit of going there is that they support the Chilliwack River Cleanup each year with a donation.  Always nice to support them back and they are only a minute's drive from the flow.  Here is the website:

Myself and GF stayed at the Vedder River Inn last fall. We arrived late afternoon for $60.00 fridge, small kichten, plates,utensils,etc. and we asked for a late check out for the next day.
It was no problem. So we fished until dark after we got set up in the room. Got up in the morning and fished. Came back to the room for a nap ;) then went out and fished again until about four and then came back and checked out. A good deal for 2 fish outings for the price of a 1 night booking without feeling rushed to check out.

60 a night ? Thats on par with what we payed at The Skidmark Inn downtown. The Vedder Inn had no vacancy that night. I would rather sleep on the floor of the Burger King bathroom than stay at that awful place we stayed at.  :D

Yea I would recommend the Vedder River Inn. The new building they have looks very nice and looks like there is hardley any one ever there at this time of year. Pretty close to the Vedder Crossing Bridge too, as well as Fred's Tackle if you need some gear on the way out ;) Hopefully you have a good time when you get here, good luck fishing!

I would also recommend the Vedder River Inn.  We normally stay there while fishing the Vedder and found it reasonably priced and very convenient.  What more can you ask for...there is a Starbucks as well as a Tim Horton's around the corner...for a great dinner, Jackson's is across the street!

Ask the hotel for the "fisherman's" rates.  With taxes, I recall paying less than $100/night.  It is a little less expensive staying in the old rooms but I prefer the new ones.  With the new rooms, make sure you ask for one with a fridge as they don't all have them.

If staying at the Vedder River Inn I would highly recommend staying in the new rooms, we stayed in one of the old rooms Christmas day for the steelhead derby, tried to get to sleep early but the guy in the next room had the tv on loud watching the sound of music.  After a couple lovely songs by Mrs. Andrews we couldnt take it anymore and asked for another room, they gave us the only other room available but the heater was broken, needless to say we had a cold terrible sleep and Im sure it had an effect on our boxing day derby perfomance :-\
