Description:
Their brochure claims "A Polynesian theme in the heart of the Okanagan" but the Tiki Village Motel in Vernon, BC has been changed since it was first built decades ago. Recent renovations (within the last decade) make the Motel appear more Japanese in theme. After talking with a current employee, I learned that tikis were once scattered around the compound but were removed when the penultimate owners took over the place in the late 90's. Some pics:

I was told a Tiki once stood in this alcove

The only Tikis still on the premesis.
