A picture of modern Turkey’s founder, Kemal Atatürk, on the wall behind the reception, coupled with the motel’s name, clued me that the owners, Saba and Zerrin Sahin, are Turkish. “So are my in-laws,” I told them. That got us chatting. Turns out theirs is the most veteran of motels along the western end of the Lake Okanagan boardwalk at the northern end of Penticton, which they bought and have been running since 1980. The bathroom lacked a fan, but there is a clerestory window at the back for ventilation. Otherwise, the suite was very comfortable and spacious (living room, bedroom & bathroom), with a kitchen including full-sized fridge, four-ring electric stove, microwave, kettle, toaster, basic supply of pots, pans, dishes and cutlery—everything one needs for basic self-sufficiency during one’s stay. Parking just outside the room, at ground floor, makes for very convenient transfer of one’s stuff from the car to the room and vice versa. The motel sits directly opposite the main entrance/ramp to the beach, so can’t be bettered location-wise. We don’t know when we’ll stay again at the northern end of Penticton, which is noticeably windier and cooler than the southern end, but if we do, the Black Sea Motel will be a preferred place to stay.
