Towels and beddings could have been cleaned better. Overall OK place to stay if you only needed accommodations for sleeping. The place could use a bit more upgrades. The lady at the front desk was cheerful and super friendly!

On a positive, the staff are great - very helpful and friendly. The room is ok for the price - microwave, Keurig and fridge are nice touches. The con is the noise from the street - it all comes through the walls and window.

The family room was literally a big house behind the hotel and the suite was roomy, new and clean. This house was a step up from a hotel room, it felt like a home and it was way above expectations. The photos did not do the ad justice... The staff were accommodating, knowledgeable and aim to please. I recommend the family room., even if it's just 2 people. It's way more square feet with a view and secure and gated parking area just for the family suites.

The ferry to Nanaimo was full - so we were later arriving than expected and tired - we got such a warm welcome!! Has the lovely feel of a small business- every team member we met was smiling! You cannot check in after 11pm - so bear this in mind if travelling by ferry ( we just made it!)

The first impression of the property is one of displeasure but we stayed in the family suite. This suite is a renovated duplex that was awesome a d for the same price of a regular hotel room but is was a two bedroom house with full conveniences of home. It was AWESOME!!!
