We stayed at the Delta Kamloops as part of our train ride with the Rocky Mountaineer. The only other Marriott property in Kamloops is the Fairfield Inn and Suites, and the Delta happens to be one of the better, if not the best, hotels in the area.
As a smaller city, Kamloops doesn’t have too many other accommodation options that can be booked using points. If you find yourself in this part of central British Columbia, the Delta Kamloops will likely be your best bet.
Delta Kamloops – Booking
This stay was automatically included as a part of our Rocky Mountaineer reservation, so we didn’t have to shell out any additional cash or points for the stay.
Cash prices at this property for a one-night stay fall between $100–200 in the low season, increasing to $250–300 during busier times. If booking with Marriott Bonvoy points, you can anticipate paying 18,000–30,000 points per night.

Delta Kamloops – Location
The Delta is centrally located in Downtown Kamloops. You’ll find numerous shops, restaurants, and coffee shops all within walking distance, with beautiful scenery to admire on your way.
Riverside Park is just 12 minutes by foot from the Delta. The park is situated on the banks of the Thompson River, and makes for a great place to go for a walk while enjoying views of the surrounding nature.
You’ll also find the Sandman Centre close to Riverside Park, where you can check out a hockey game if you’re visiting during the season.
Thompson Rivers University is less than 10 minutes from the hotel by car, while Sun Peaks, the closest ski hill, is about 45 minutes away.
Other popular attractions near the Delta include the Kamloops Wildlife Park and the Monte Creek Winery, both within a 20-minute drive from the hotel.
Lastly, the Kamloops Airport is just 15 minutes from Delta by car, or around 50 minutes by bus.
Delta Kamloops – Check-in
On this particular occasion, our hotel keys had been handed out onboard the Rocky Mountaineer train, so we didn’t need to check in upon arrival. Rather, we just proceeded to our room as soon as we arrived at the hotel.
Entering the hotel, the check-in desks are to…
