It’s an average hotel. The breakfast says it’s open 6:00am to 9:30am but always closed either at 9am or sooner, and it was nothing to rave about. Avoid the eggs they made my whole family sick, and the bacon was so dry to the point you needed a drink after every bite, if they even had food out. The rooms were spacious, kitchenette was nice but the TV’s are so small, and the beds were so stiff it felt like I was sleeping on the ground camping, at least the beds and sheets were clean. Pool is advertised but permanently closed, asked reception for extra towels but never showed. Curtains never fully closed, the A/C machine was so loud, and there was a hole where the machine fit into the wall, you could see outside. They also make you pay all fees included when you check in. Deposit and stay, which I found was odd, as other hotels let you pay at the end of the stay. Maybe it’s their hotel policy, I don’t know. Overall just super average.

The beds were really hard. No coffee machine in the room. Or microwave of coffee available in the lobby but I find it inconvenient as I need to get ready to go down before I could go downstairs which is disappointing as i would like a coffee when I'm getting ready for the day. Breakfast was limited. Only one cup of waffle mixture available to make a waffle, small amount of eggs and sausage left to eat at 8:45. bothered by flies in the breakfast room.

We had a great stay while attending a wedding there. Rooms were very clean, spacious and the beds were comfortable. They had complimentary breakfasts in the am which was a nice touch. The saloon across the hwy was a neat environment with friendly service. The gals at the front desk were lovely and accommodating. Would definitely stay again. The Toors, Vancouver Island

Staff were dealing with a new computer system that seemed extremely inefficient and cumbersome. I had to give my credit card multiple times and checkout was a nightmare. The room was very large and comfortable.
