    This is the only review you’ll need

    A delightful surprise! The clean, stylish room with First Nation design elements truly impressed me. Comfortably nestled in my superb bed, I enjoyed the delicious pistachio crusted halibut in the on-site restaurant. A perfect, quiet stay after a long journey!

    comfortable room
    relaxing atmosphere
    lacking daily housekeeping

    We were pleasantly surprised by our stay here, especially the cozy King Room with its mini kitchen and the spacious, clean vibe throughout. We enjoyed relaxing on the sun terrace and in the garden area, perfect spots to unwind after a day of exploring. Although I missed having daily housekeeping, it didn’t take away from the overall great experience! 🌟

    beautiful design
    basic breakfast
    noise disturbance

    The hotel boasts a beautiful design with First Nations art and friendly staff, creating a welcoming atmosphere. While the rooms are clean and comfortable, the breakfast setup felt too basic. Noise from nearby areas during the night was a minor drawback, but the overall experience was enjoyable.

    clean property
    long wait times
    poor communication

    The property was very clean and updated!

    Unfortunately, we faced several issues during our stay. There was only one staff member at the front desk, leading to long wait times and inadequate service. We were disappointed that breakfast wasn't included information wasn't communicated clearly, causing us to miss it.

    comfy beds
    modern bathroom
    great artwork
    dusty furniture
    no housekeeping

    The room was really nice and well-designed. Beds were super comfy—like, I sank right in. The bathroom was clean and modern, which I appreciated. There's a great spot for boots and wet gear, perfect for adventures. I did notice some dust on the furniture, but the space overall felt cozy and welcoming. Plus, the artwork they displayed was a nice touch. No complaints about cleanliness otherwise, it was well-kept.

    An Artful Stay with Room for Improvement

    We enjoyed our three-night getaway in a cozy King Room. The decor showcased lovely First Nation art, adding character to our experience. Dinner at the restaurant was fantastic, although it was a bit quieter than expected for June. Pro tip, make dining reservations to avoid wait times!

    modern design
    staffing issues

    The hotel has a nice modern design with

    some unique First Nations elements that made it feel special. However, the service was lacking, as housekeeping was minimal and the staff seemed overwhelmed. It's worth mentioning the cleanliness of the room, despite the service issues.
