The room was reasonably clean, the staff were friendly, parking was good. We will not return for 2 reasons: the traffic noise from the road was extremely loud; 2)There appeared to be what looked like unhoused people having the post-drug consumption munchies right on the walkway that led to our entrance. Having our little boy with us this felt intimidating.

You need to be aware that the angled parking lot has no exit, which would be challenging if in a larger vehicle. The room was clean and spacious, and seemed to be partially renovated recently. Access to the 2nd floor was confusing, depending on the area you park. There were a few guests that seemed to be living rough, making us uncomfortable initially, but we had no problems.

Old, poor condition. Very hot in the room even with 2 floor fans. Fridge didn't work. Bedside lamp didn't work. Chair in front of TV almost broke through when I sT in it. ..... The cleaning lady was very nice and helpful, band the front desk people were nice. The room was as I expected for the low price. I would stay there again as a last choice as it's close to BC Ferries.
