The staff were friendly and went to great lengths to make our stay enjoyable, especially the restaurant employees. But the hotel is located in a part of town that feels run down and lifeless though efforts have been made to revitalize the area. It was convenient for us to spend a delightful day on Gabriola Island but I did feel eager to wander the area near the hotel.

Hotel was fine, comfortable bed, a few spills on furniture that should be wiped clean, but room nice enough. Alot of construction in the area makes for it difficult to drive/walk around. A few drug addicts on the street, but i did see community safety patrols a few times, so i think they are doing what they can.

Staff were friendly and professional. The restaurant had a great breakfast. Check in was easy with available parking next door connected the the hotel. The view is breathtaking. The bedding is heavenly (best I’ve had thus far and I am picky). Thank you for a great and wonderful stay.
