It was a stylish hotel in a cool building but be aware that it is downtown so parking is a bit sketchy and walking downtown you need to be aware of your surroundings.

Customer Experience Needs Aligning

Strangely enough, I had to register my husband’s name as an additional guest in the room, and the front desk clerk was adamant that I had to provide his full name, before I could be issued our room key cards. When I asked why, I was told it was for my safety (if they needed to evacuate, then they’d have a total headcount - - which they’d have from a guest COUNT, and not from guest NAMES). When I asked again later in the conversation, I was told it was for security. When I followed up with the GM the next day, I was told that it was for guest experience reasons - - many times, one party misplaces their keycard and needs a new one, but if they’re not a registered guest in the room, it’s a hassle to contact the registered guest to get them to come to the front desk and get a new keycard issued. Sure, I suppose I can appreciate the guest experience reason - but if I don’t feel the need to register my guest’s name, it shouldn’t be pressed, because I can guarantee the family of 5 who checked in simultaneously as us, weren’t asked to provide the full names of their teenage kids staying with them.

There was an open air, no roof disco, dance club outside of my window which is part of the Strathcona. I was basically in a disco until the closed early in the morning even though I was in my room the entire time. It was extremely loud, and I could not sleep.

The hotel was clean and close to everything. Transit is nearby to get to the Ferry terminal, or Butchart Gardens. The suite room was excellent. Staff are nice, but not encouraged to think. They will not let you use the bathroom before you check in, even if you have luggage and are obviously a traveler. Same goes for the bar, no id? If you have a walker and 85...they still ask for it. Hotel is great, too bad people are not permitted to think. Knowing this, I would still stay here again. Just be sure to go the bathroom prior to arriving, and carry your ID if you want to go to the Sticky Wicket pub.
