Nestled in the center of Fraser Valley is the town of Abbotsford, British Columbia. Since Mount Baker is so close to the town, Abbotsford has become a popular ski town in the winter. Even though skiing is the catalyst for tourism, this Canadian town has much more to offer. Its white-water rafting, museums, theaters and championship golf course brings tourists back for the summer months. Because of the tourism industry, it is hard to find hotel deals without making reservations months in advance, but here are some hotels that will interest you if you are vacationing on a budget.
Alpine Motor Inn
Close to all the water sports and snow skiing Abbotsford has to offer sits the Alpine Motor Inn. Resting directly in the middle of Fraser Valley, this inn has everything you need, such as Internet service, cable television and kitchenettes, if that is your desire. Surrounded by several fast-food restaurants, the Alpine is just a short walk away from some of Abbotsford’s better dining facilities.
