Vernon is just south/east of Revelstoke also close by, and King Oka may be able to comment on accomodation in this location. I checked the events calendar and the only thing happening that weekend is a Cowboy Festival at a "private" ranch, which also has a museum. So accomodation may be easier in Vernon. Many of us saw King Oka's recent pictures of a nice drive that he took, and the scenery is spectacular.
Kelowna is to the south of Vernon. Kamloops is just to the west.....both are larger and would have more accomodation, but I visit family in Kamloops and there isn't anything "special" about it, and Kelowna, while pretty, can be costly for accomodation.
King Oka......help? Any other comments or opinions?

Good thing you found out about the glacier fest thing. Although the hotels in revelstoke still seem relatively open at the moment.
As for Kelowna I am all for it as well, the weather and location (and wineries) are great but the distance for Alberta drivers is a wee bit farther (closer for vancouver cars).
King-Oka did list some nice Kelowna resorts in one of the first replies Sol-Seeker, click on those links, they look pretty good.
