Excellent customer service. Standard level of cleanliness for a hotel like this. I might suggest checking and cleaning the bathroom ceiling and pipes of the bathroom as there was a strong odour in the room unless you shut the bathroom door and kept the fan going after a shower and stains and hairs on the ceiling. The bathroom renovations look fantastic otherwise. The rooms were not super soundproof as you could hear everyone running down the hallway and the cars outside as they were single pane windows. The internet was fantastic, bed was clean and comfy for the need. The parking was reasonable, but might want to remove the seacan to a less intrusive place but I understand renos are still occuring. Also the batteries in the smoke alarm need to be replaced as it blinked red.

Very nice experience, the receptionist was exceptional. Towels were luxurious. Room was comfortable. The self parking was a little dicey, but safe. They are in the middle of a remodel, so I expect it to be even better if we ever come back again.

Liked: Cleanliness
I had requested an accessible room, which was provided. However the parking was at the bottom of a steep driveway, not accessible. The staff assisted me and tried to reserve the closest parking space, but was not successful. I parked across the highway on the road. There was no lighting near the bed. The best lighting was over a fridge. They brought me a folding chair to use. Unsuccessful. The tv went off 3 times, likely turned off by a neighbouring room’s remote. There was no hot water in the shower after 5 mins. When I mentioned it, they checked and it was hot the next day. The staff were friendly and pleasant. The room was poorly designed ( lighting, no armchair) Bathroom was updated but had unfinished look with unused space. Not boutique quality!

The room was great but the photos of the view are very misleading and the view was a very large part of the reason I got this room. Very disappointed in the view.

Great area to stay in the downtown and right there at the boat terminal. Had the best room with a view of the water and sunset. Service was great. Stairs not so great lugging up suitcases. Only downfall.

Excellent! Property was very clean. Our room was amazing! Clean, kitchenette, and an amazing view overlooking the water and ferry. We loved having our morning coffee and watching all the boats/people. We travelled with friends who also had their own room, and were equally impressed. It was so nice we both extended our stay an extra night. Right next to the strip of stores. Great location. As meticulous as the property was, it’s the staff that really push this place into a 5* rating. From the front desk, ti the cleaners etc. the staff was so friendly and gracious. They actually made you feel like they truly appreciated your business. We recommend and hope to stay here again next year when we visit.

My room had an amazing view and location wise youre right by the Ferry Terminal. It wasn't too busy this time of year and a perfect stay. Location of hotel is walkable and you can reach many restaurants, seawall, ferry terminal and shopping spots within walking distance.

It was okay. The room was basically taken over by the king sized bed there was a small closet no dresser and only one bedside table. The hotel is under renovation so it was noisy. There is zero sound proofing and you can hear everything from the rooms beside and above.

I love that the property is newly renovated and that they allow us to stay with our pet. Staff is always very friendly. The street noise is a bit loud but that’s what you get for the convenient location close to the ferry. There is no elevator so if you have mobility issues let them know before so you can get a ground level room. We absolutely love the shower. Would stay here again.
