Staff were very friendly, helpful & accommodating. We had a pet friendly room that was recently renovated. Fresh paint, new flooring, new appliances and cupboards. The hide-a--bed needs a deep cleaning & upgrade as the mattress was very thin. The prooerty is over 40 yrs old but the owners are definitely trying to restore it & bring it back to life.

A clean and comfortable place to stay less than a 10 minute drive away from the BC Ferry to Prince Rupert. The only downsides we found were the very thin pillows on the bed and the noise made by travelers arriving on the ferry Prince Rupert between midnight and 1:00 am checking into their rooms.

We booked a 2 queen room. We got one queen, one single and onw fols out couch. We were charged an extra guest fee, as we included in the booking we would bring a dog. Then we were charged a other $40 for dog, onto of the extea guest fee. There was other much nicer hotels for cheaper after these fee.

Nice quiet motel. Clean room but nothing fancy. Loved that they have a couple bbqs for guests to use. Perfect for somewhere to relax and get some sleep on a road trip.
