Inspection summary

Fairfield Inn & Suites Penticton has been inspected 3 times by Interior Health Authority since February 7, 2023. The most recent inspection, on February 24, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.

1 of 3 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 1 infraction recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food temperature control, Cleaning and sanitizing and Handwashing and staff hygiene.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded once on February 7, 2023. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded once on February 7, 2023. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on February 7, 2023. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded 3 times on February 7, 2023. For example: 1 Does the operator have a valid operating permit or approval to operate?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded once on February 7, 2023. For example: 5 Are the FOODSAFE training requirements being met?

    The experience was great! This was our first time here and we had a great stay in our 4 days 3 nights trip. Service was great. Breakfast was refilled fast! Room was clean. We went out in the morning and the house keeping service was great that made the room clean when we came back. Though the pool was small, it's still good for kids to have some fun! We would definitely come back for next vacation!

    It is a hotel with not a lot of character. The usual corporate hotel HOWEVER I would absolutely stay here again. The rooms were roomy. The beds were SOOOOO comfortable. Staff helpful. The gym had everything you needed. The breakfast was good - had something for everyone. One of us is gluten free and one dairy free and there were lots of options. Oh and the bath products were lovely as well.

    Great basic hotel. Good weight room. Clean rooms. Accommodating staff. They clean the rooms every other day which I prefer. We had to spend a lot of time in our room during our trip and we were happy to be at this hotel. They have complimentary tea and coffee as well as breakfast each day.

    Overall the hotel has the basic amenities you need for a "place to lay your head" bare bones hotel. No art on walls, not even side tables for each bed. But, how Marriott allows this franchise of the brand to continue with being dishonest about room features. The 2 Queen Bed were 2 Doubles. When I asked at the front, they said "no they are queen, queen are different sizes". No, a Queen is 60" wide. A double is 54", and these were 54". Just be honest and upfront about it.... other than that it would be three stars, but that's a massive issue.
