Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a convenient stop off close to the highway but surprisingly quiet. The rooms were very clean and comfortable; however, we ended up with a double instead of a king bed. Although the service was rude and seemed inconvenienced, the location was ideal for exploring between Vancouver and Whistler with easy access to popular sites. The dining options were limited and impractical for late-night needs, but nearby amenities were handy.
The hotel is conveniently located near downtown and Whistler, offering a pool and easy access to hikes, but it is situated in an industrial area. The rooms are clean with convenient amenities like a fridge and microwave, although the location lacks walkability. The service is a mix of rudeness and politeness with informative staff, while the location is a great base for outdoor activities but lacks nearby facilities on foot. The dining options vary from unexpected wake-up calls to proximity to fast-food joints. The property requires upkeep, and the surroundings are not ideal for leisure strolls.
The hotel is clean and provides all necessities for a stay, especially with children. I found the rooms clean but had some issues with dirty sheets and hair in the bed. The service was very friendly, but there were some challenges with looking up my points number. The location, while clean and well-maintained, was a little out of the main areas, making it necessary to have a car for convenience. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with overpriced dishes and late openings. Overall, a good option for a walk around the area.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was convenient, close to downtown Squamish, which made it easy to access popular spots, but it's situated in an industrial area with limited nearby amenities. The rooms were clean and in a good location, although some noise from the bar below and the elevators could be heard, and there were concerns about bed bugs. The service was friendly and efficient overall, but there were instances of rudeness from certain staff members. The dining experience was average, with limited staff presence, and the facilities were just okay.
The hotel rooms were bigger than expected and very professionally run, with a microwave and fridge. They were quite spacious, super clean, and surprisingly quiet. However, there was a lingering smell of smoke in the room. The location was convenient, within walking distance of restaurants and shops, perfect for our needs, despite being in a strange industrial area. The dining experience was outstanding, available with the price of the room and attached to a restaurant. The facilities were modern and well-kept.
