The furniture was outdated could definitely update with the fees they charge for the stay. Also had one unsafe experience where they left our room open after housekeeping came in because they left the lock turned so the door did not shut after them and was open until we got back late at night. Also there was random aggressive knocking on our door by some random people at night. There was cleanliness which we appreciated.

However, we sincerely apologize for the outdated furniture and, more importantly, for the safety concerns you experienced. Your feedback regarding the housekeeping oversight and the aggressive knocking is being taken very seriously. We are reinforcing our procedures to ensure this does not happen again. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and we hope to provide a safer and more updated stay in the future.Kind regards,Cameron

I really like our room 1107. There is a little balcony and it has very nice view of the mountains. The room has lots of mirrors. I really liked the washroom too it is very bright except the sink is too small and not very convenient when you wash your face and brushing your teeth. I would love to recommend this place and planning to come back again together with friends.

Very convenient and close to downtown which to be honest is not that far anywhere in town. Hotel was clean and beds were comfortable. Pillows were way too soft. We were there for 4 nights and didn’t have maid service one time. We were there a week before most things opened for the season. Other than that would stay there again.

Tried to check in late but no staff available, had to ask at the bar and was directed to an envelope stuck to the door of the entrance, with a key inside, would never have found this on my own The accommodation while clean and tidy was a little outdated and the communal entrance area appeared to need a little TLC

Response from Cameron on 20 May 2024
Hello Peter,Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during check-in. During the off-season, our front desk hours were shorter, which is why the key was left at the door for your convenience. We're pleased to inform you that our front desk is now staffed longer to better serve our guests. Additionally, we appreciate your comments about the accommodation and communal areas; we will pass your message on to our maintenance and housekeeping teams. We hope to see you again in the future.

Stairs going to room very dangerous. Hard to read the room #s and no clear directions from the staff. Room was very small, awkward and bed was not stable. Hardly any place to eat or do anything, as majority places were closed.
Stayed 1 night in May 2024
Response from Cameron on 20 May 2024
Hello Amrit,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced during your stay. We understand that the outside emergency staircase can be slippery when wet, so we recommend guests take the carpeted staircase on the inside of the building. The front desk agents are trained to point out your room location on the property map we give to every guest. This must have been missed in your case, and will present a training opportunity.The majority of businesses are closed in the off season; May Long Weekend is when most shops and restaurants reopen for the summer; feel free to come back during the summer if you are looking for things to do.Kind regards,Cameron

Offered an “upgrade” from 2 double beds to a king size bed but staff failed to mention it would be an accessible room where everything in the bathroom was low, toilet high and the shower broken giving only boiling hot or freezing cold water. Only reason “upgrade” was given was because another party needed the 2 double bed room. Asked for someone to come fix the bathroom and staff was indifferent and issue never fixed. Moreover, when we raised the issue of being given an accessible room all we heard was an equally indifferent “Sorry ‘bout that”. Area around hotel has a lot of construction equipment parked in the parking stalls and buildings are starting to look tired. Interior of room also tired. Bed very springy, pillows uncomfortable and we could hear neighbours talking and flushing their toilets so walls thin. Needless to say not a great experience.

Dear Katarzyna,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay, including the unsatisfactory room move, the problems with the bathroom, and the overall condition of the property.We regret that the move to an accessible room was not properly communicated and that the bathroom issues were not resolved promptly. Your experience with the staff's response is not reflective of our service standards, and we will address this with our team to ensure better handling in the future.We are currently working on improvements to our facilities and hope you will give us another chance to provide a more comfortable and pleasant stay.Kind regards,Cameron

Quick over night stay. Hard to locate the numbers to find your building and hotel room. No elevators and the stairs were not super safe. Felt cramped until you get in your cozy clean room. Nothing on site for snacks and no late night bar must go off site.
