Climate control poor in both of our recent stays. Thermostat was set to 76 and room very stuffy. Reduced temp to 68 and then to 60 but still hot so opened windows in night despite it being winter. Pillows x4 bulky. Options of 2 large and 2 smaller softer pillows would be appreciated.

This was by far the best hotel stay we have ever experienced. From our early arrival by air and being able to check in within an hour of arriving to departure and the quick friendly service. We will definitely be back.

Best Layover Experience

The hotel listed at a very convenient location of the Main Street. Very short walk to save on food, shoppers and local restaurants. 10 minutes walk to the shoreline. Staff Ms were super friendly and provided recommendations on local site seeing. We have a 20+ hr layover. They allow us to check-in early at around noontime. Breakfast was good, would be better if they have hard boil eggs and bacon.

We love to stay at this small hotel whenever we are in Sidney. They have great staff, it's not super busy, a really nice breakfast and it's within walking distance of the pier and great shopping and dining. The airport and Ferry are close by as is Butchart Gardens.
