Walkable to downtown. Would have appreciated them having a coffee maker in the room. There's also no counter space in washroom to place your toiletries on.

unmet need for a hot soak after full day

Really sweet place, love the artistic/West Coast feel :) The only glitch was finding out there was no bathtub, so no hot soak after catering the Private Dinner Party that I was in town to facilitate. Given that it would quite a challenge to install bathtubs at this point, perhaps have one outdoor hot tub on site, to make up for this?

Amazing location and amazing opportunity to make a destination accommodation, but something isn't right. Some of the people in the surrounding area make me nervous. There appears to be many unhoused in the vicinity. Universal problem, but still a reality. Making the rooms more comfortable and attractive would go a long way. Having chairs in the room would help.

The MAQ was a very fun hotel. The decor was great, the cafe had great coffee, the staff were helpful, the food was delicious and the location was wonderful - right across from the wharf with a lovely view and close to shops, restaurants and activities. I would stay there again.
