Very friendly staff, they welcomed our dogs and offered a really good service. The room is spacious and clean and the breakfast included in the price is really good. The pub attached to the hotel offers good food at fair prices and our dogs were also welcome in the patio. Recommended for families with dogs visiting Vancouver Island

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Called to let them know that I was delayed due to flights and instead of moving my reservation one day as I requested they checked me in and billed me for the extra night. I understand they are within their policy but I have never had this happen anywhere else. Room smelled of dog, and overall maintenance was lacking.
