The reviews I read prior to booking this hotel did not disappoint. What a truly great hotel experience! The service and staff was top notch: genuinely friendly, helpful, kind, welcoming, and even fun to interact with! The restaurant in the hotel, Minnoz, had a great menu selection. We had breakfast there and it was so delicious and the service was excellent! We regretted not going there for dinner the night prior but we will next time we stay there! The renovations to the hotel are very nice and modern and we so appreciated it. Everything was clean and well prepared for us when we arrived. The air conditioning was easy to operate and worked flawlessly, as did everything else in the room like the TV, plugs, lights, coffeemaker, etc. The size of the room was so generous too which was really nice; felt like we were staying in more of a condo than a hotel room because of the layout. Bathroom lighting was great, and we loved how the shampoo/conditioner and soap and lotion was all in regular pump containers, not little plastic pouches that are hard to open, messy and never contain enough product. The only thing we didn't personally like was the firmness of the beds: they are definitely a true firm. However, that is a subjective thing and everyone prefers a different firmness level in their mattress, so we are taking no stars off for that! The location is central to a lot of restaurants and right across the street from the harbour, which is so nice. We would come back for sure!

Loved the friendly staff so much that we will be returning on 8/30/25. We changed our itinerary to stay there an additional night and shortened our stay in Vancouver.

The balcony and view is not what is advertised. You can’t step out onto the balcony. Rooms are smaller than average hotel rooms. Bathroom had a damp smell from fan not working. It wasn’t pleasant.

Service Quality needs to improve. 1) The room was not cleaned at all when I checked-in and entered the room the first time. Used towels, garbage, messy bed, etc. 2) The staff at the front desk during check in repeatedly said “hello my flend” to me. Lacked professionalism.

The entire staff (front desk, restaurant, housekeeping) were aware that we were there for my partner to rest and recover from a light stroke after released from the local hospital. It was my birthday during our stay, and front desk sent up a plate of Nanaimo bars for my bday; the kitchen knew he wasn't eating and made special effort to send up scrambled egg and ice cream for breakfast his first day; housekeeping asked me each day when he would be out for return testing at hospital and cleaned our room while he was gone so she wouldn't disturb his napping. I was stunned by such kind, thoughtful personal attention we received. My partner was able to sleep throughout the day and enjoyed the gorgeous harbor view, watching the seaplanes, water taxis and yachts come and go whenever he awoke. This was a medical emergency/resort recovery experience, and we are deeply grateful for the caring service we received.
