Lots of loud partying outside on the balconies with zero staff doing anything about it. Also, the room was in poor repair. Definitely over priced at $200/night

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very friendly and corteous staff, especially Felicia and Karen. Karen welcomed us warmly when we checked in. Though we arrived so early before the required check in time, she gave us a room immediately by switching our booked room to another that was available. We were very tired and sleepy during our journey because we woke up so early to be able to catch our earliest ferry ride. Karen was emphatic and pro-active, and what she did is going the extra mile. Kudos, Karen! You are commendable. Our pleasant stay and excellent service extended to us made us to decide that we will stay again in this hotel every time we visit Sechelt in the future. Thank you!

Not suitable for a family

There was a group of people in the residence who were smoking, drinking and laughing very loudly until 4AM right behind the door of our room. We asked them few times to move to the other side they went and came back again which was not unexpected as they were so drunk. But the next day we told to the hotel staff and asked for a solution or change of our room and they said that cannot do it and if that happens again we should call the police.
