The Maverick Motor Inn's central location makes it perfectly suited for team and group travel. Kamloops is proudly known as the Tournament Capital of B.C., and over the years we have welcomed countless sports teams, tour groups, family reunions, and corporate travelers. We understand what group organizers need — fair rates, rooms close together, easy parking for the team van or bus, and a pool to burn off energy after a long day of competition.
Close to the Action
We are just a short drive to Thompson Rivers University and the Aquatic Centre, and minutes from the city's many sports venues, fields, and parks. That central position means less time on the road and more time at your event — a real advantage when you are coordinating a busy tournament schedule. Visiting teams especially love that the waterslide and heated indoor pool are waiting back at the hotel.
Rest and Recovery Between Games
Competing on the road is tiring, and how a team recovers between games often matters as much as the schedule itself. That is part of why coaches book us: after a long day, players can loosen up in the heated indoor pool, ease sore legs in the hot tub, and get a genuine night's sleep in a quiet, air-conditioned room. A free continental breakfast means everyone starts the next morning fuelled, without hunting around town for somewhere to eat. Little things on their own, but over a tournament weekend they add up to a team that shows up fresher.
Two things catch visiting teams out in Kamloops specifically. The first is the climate: the valley is semi-arid, and athletes who train at the coast routinely underestimate how much water a dry afternoon costs them. The second is the elevation change on the drive in, which leaves some players stiff before they have played a minute. Building a proper warm-up into the first session after a long bus ride is worth more than any recovery gadget, and HealthLink BC is a straightforward reference for coaches and chaperones seeking current health information.
