“Motel style accommodation. Ideal ferry stopover”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I think that most people who stay here are either on their way to or from the ferry terminal as it is only a ten minute drive away. The hotel is located in beautiful woodland if you have time to stick around and explore (we didn't)

The receptionist was incredibly friendly and efficient considering she was dealing single handedly with a queue of about 20 tired and grumpy people who had just arrived off the ferry.

The accommodation is pretty basic but very clean and comfortable. The walls are thin and you are likely to hear your next door neighbours in the shower at 5am getting ready to leave for the ferry.

Overall, a good choice for a one night stopover.

Stayed August 2011, travelled with friends

“friendly hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed overnight here before catching the ferry to Prince Rupert. This motel had rooms on ground level and first floor accessible by outside steps. My husband and I are both not vrey good with stairs so the receptionist changed us to ground floor room without any hesitation - ver pleasant staff. good value we paid 131 dollars plus tax for a suite (my daughter travelled with us).

“Old fashioned. Bathroom quite small and very noisy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2011

On the website it looks better from the outsite that it is.
Rooms are small and very old fashioned.
We heard quite a lot of noise from the people above us.from BC Ferries tp Prince Rupert.
So we pay far to much for this motel.
The only thing what makes it interresting is that is close to the ferry

Room Tip: In my opinion ther are no best rooms

“A good place to stay for the ferry”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2009

We had a bedroom with two queen beds, a lounge, kitchenette and bathroom. Basic but nice and clean. The ideal place to stop if travelling on the ferry.

“Avoid this place if you don't like mold and mildew”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2009

Shortest stay at a hotel ever! The carpet was badly stained; the room had an odour that hit you immediately. Going into the bedroom it became obvious that it was full of mold and mildew. We left immediately. On the positive side when we told the desk clerk we couldn't stay; she very kindly refunded our full cost. Sleeping in our car or on the beach would have been preferable to staying here!
