Overview

This property is promoted as a luxury hotel and overlooks the Prince George Golf & Curling Club. This hotel is situated in a commercial area of an otherwise residential neighbourhood. This hotel is ideal for guests who require access to Highway 97 and/or the Yellowhead Highway (Hwy 16) because this property is located at the intersection of these two major thoroughfares.

This hotel is 100% smoke-free and all 186 rooms and suites include bedside reading lamps, individual climate control, a coffeemaker, a safe, free Wi-Fi, an iron and ironing board, and a work desk. Select suites may include a combination of the following amenities: a jetted tub, a kitchenette, and a washer and dryer. Rooms and suites may be configured with 1 king bed or 2 queen beds.

Free outdoor parking is available on site and pets are not permitted.

The on-site restaurant, Rockford Wok Bar & Grill, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Room service is also available.

Other on-site amenities include an indoor pool and hot tub, a fitness facility, a 24-hour business centre, and meeting and conference space.

Nearby attractions within a 10-minute walk or 5-minute drive include the Prince George Playhouse (performing arts venue), Treasure Cove Casino (table games, slots, bingo, and live entertainment), and the Pine Centre Mall (department stores, retail shopping, and restaurants).

Downtown Prince George, which features the VIA Rail station, Greyhound bus station, shopping, nightlife, and the Prince George Coliseum (home of the Prince George Spruce Kings Junior "A" Hockey Club), is 9 minutes away by car. The Prince George Airport (YXS) is a 22-minute drive away. (All walking and driving time estimates: Google Maps).
