New ownership group promises few changes for downtown mainstay Scott’s Inn
KAMLOOPS — Scott’s Inn and Suites, a hotel that has served travellers in Kamloops for more than four decades is getting a new owner. Invictus Properties recently announced it has acquired the 60-year-old establishment. The parent company with Rocky Mountaineer has had their employees stay at the hotel for the last 40 years. However, only a handful of them stayed at the inn last year, which was an inconvenience.
“Rocky Mountaineer found that was very disjointed for their employee group,” Bryan Pilbeam, Chief Operating Officer of Invictus Properties told CFJC Today. “The employee experience is super important. To have everybody together off of the train, spend the evening together and stay nightly at this hotel was super important.”
The hotel will be exclusively for Rocky Mountaineer staff from April to October. Invictus Properties says they will, however, keep all staff members and only make minor improvements to the restaurant.
