“Have had more comfortable stays at Best Western”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We got a free night here but the gift cert was for $300. I was shocked at the room we got for $300. I have heard this place is beautiful but was very disappointed. The room was a dull tan color, rather depressing, and very badly in need of updating. The carpet was gross. You can't charge $300 for a room with gross grout, heaters that don't work, unpleasant smell, and small queen bed. The bathroom was badly in need of a fresh paint job and the sink and fixtures had bad wear on them. The rooms are not sound proofed and the noise from people above you taking a shower is like something out of a tenement building. Seriously LOUD and tacky for such a touted accommodation. My friend and I just looked at each other in disbelief. Yes, the view was spectacular but when we went to sit outside, we found disgusting moldy plastic seat covers on the chairs and mold all over everything. Gross! Hadn't been cleaned in months. The breakfast dining room was cramped and there were not enough seats. the line set up for the breakfast line was badly organized. there is not enough room for people to move around and everyone is tripping over each other. Coffee ran out so I never got any because it was such a hassle to get back in line and get back to my table without wanting to punch someone! Breakfast was sparse , little egg and mostly scones, etc. Again, for $300 one would expect a lot more of a breakfast. Everything at this Inn is claustrophic, from the cramped parking to the small dining room and the tiny spa area. I really have had more enjoyable stays in a Hilton Garden Inn or Best Western. Not impressed for such a highly touted "resort" And Chef Matt, stop serving fois gras which everyone knows is a heinously cruel "delicacy." Even Wolfgang Puck stopped this horrible dish from being served in his restaurants as well as other great chefs.
Sorry, but was disappointed with the condition of this Inn and would have complained about it if I was paying for it. Please invest in some updating or lower your rates.

Room Tip: don't get one of the guestrooms, spring for a suite.

Sounds like we were not what was expected at all? Some folks expect 'resort' when we are really more of a retreat. Remodels are in progress, that may resolve some of the issues this guest felt. Although, it would seem we are just not what they expected. We really do feel value in what we provide and are quite sorry you could not let us know in person so we could help you feel better.

I only serve a free fed foie gras. I maybe taking liberties with the name foie gras, but it is a fat liver. Not a forced distention of a living, breathing and feeling creature.

“Really great place in a really nice little village”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

This is a gem, and the perfect place for a romantic getaway. The setting is spectacular with excellent view of the water. The town itself is really fun, with several excellent restaurants and a great art gallery, as well as a garden shop with a chocolate theme!

The rooms are really nice - almost zen-like. The staff is incredibly helpful.

As for the restaurant, I think it is outstanding. It was expensive, and it's prix-fixe but if that's an issue there are several good restaurants in easy walking distance.

A bonus was that the weekend we spent there was the weekend the town lit their Christmas lights. There was caroling. It was a really nice getaway.

“A lovely spot with wonderful helpful reception and housekeeping staff and we've stayed here for years.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

We stay here every Christmas and in the spring as well as some summer weekends. Over the years the Inn has aged like everything does and the wear is showing in carpets and plumbing especially. But we are not that bothered by the small downside given the perfection of the view, location in a sweet little town with great restaurants such as Primi Bistro and the Braeburn and a water view wine shop. The Star store and wine shop is amazing! The receptionist was so sweet and we have always felt valued as guests. They have kept prices very reasonable so you can't expect everything brand new or you would be paying at least double! We travel enough to know that. Also we now have a small dog and they are so kind by providing the levels by the water for pets and give them a big bed and dishes. Very amazing staff as I said. We can't wait for another visit.

“Nice people and pleasant stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

My wife and I stayed here one night in late November. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The view from the clean room overlooking the water was exceptional. The complementary breakfast was fresh and satisfying. Although I only spent one evening at the Inn at Langley I really enjoyed my stay.

“Terrible Dinner with wine for 2!! Extreme dissapointment”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My wife took me out to this highly rated, touted Inn for my Birthday meal. The Prix Fixe menu was discouraging with all the dishes tasting like they had all been prepared well in advance, earlier in the day, nothing tasted fresh or freshly prepared, we were sitting at the Chefs table, and decided to have the wine pairings. None of the wine pairings were exceptional and were quite dissapointing. We paid in excess of $500.00 for the meal for 2 including 19% gratuity. Slap in the face, I called twice to retrieve my jacket I had mistakenly left, first time on message machine, no return call, 2nd time spoke to a person Brenda?, that said she would call me back, no call back. I had to drive there to get a response that they had seen the jacket on the coat rack but it dissapeared, One of the staff wearing it? Another $400 of jacket gone for a grand total of $900.00 + on a very crappy meal and misplaced goods. Go to Cafe Langley instead!!

Shocking! Unbelievible. Nothing is prepared in advance. This review is just plainly misdirected. I am however, very sorry we are not the place for this person. I will completely refund their dinner. The Cafe in town maybe a much better fit for them. I hope they can except my apology for a night they did not enjoy. It really is our goal to make people happy, to enjoy themselves.
As for the jacket, we have NEVER had a guest theft issue here, ever, period. We will make a renewed effort to locate it.
