Guests said the owners and staff were friendly and hospitable, and one reviewer mentioned being treated to cookies at the front desk.
The Bad
There were not a lot of reviews posted online since the hotel did their renovations, so there was not a lot of negative feedback that was current.
more One guest complained about an AC unit that didn't work and a "bad smell to the room". Another said the water in Prince Rupert was yellowish due to the water mains being made of wood.
A couple of reviewers found the room rates quite expensive.
