This was my eighth stay at this property but the first time I've submitted a review.
I continue to be impressed by the service and the value offered by this property. Everyone we encountered on our stay seemed genuinely happy to be working at the hotel and, in some cases, went out of their way to help us.
As an SPG Platinum, I have always received a nice upgrade at this hotel and this visit was no exception. The club lounge, while small, is a nice benefit, with a nice breakfast offering, afternoon snacks, and a nice evening spread as well. I recommend that anyone staying here consider a club floor upgrade as its good value just for access to the lounge.
The recent renovations at the hotel have really made a difference. The elevators are now fast and, best of all, the fitness centre has a lot of clean, new equipment in a larger space (three brand new elliptical machines vs. one older machine before, for instance).
For my purposes (business in the lower mainland - Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford), the location is ideal, especially the easy access to HWY 1, but without any of the traffic noise.
For this visit, I'd like to single out Laurie and Rachel from the Club Lounge. My work colleague and I had exceptional service from the two of them on all of our encounters, with each going out of their way to provide better service. Laurie, on overhearing that my in-room coffeemaker had died, arranged for it to be replaced by the time I was back from my meeting. She also arranged for some additional breakfast items I wanted (certain kind of oatmeal) to be added for me. Rachel remembered our names on each visit and our drink preferences were prepared for us without asking. She also recommended a main course that we ordered up from the restaurant that was superb (the Ciopollo). Rachel and Laurie helped make a long trip of a few consecutive weeks on the road much easier on us.
I look forward to my next visit here.
