This was our first time to Vancouver Island and this location was perfect for my family of five. The proper was very clean and organized, comfortable beds, cool AC, and the dock on the river was our favourite spot. We will definitely be returning.

This is a Review.

I stayed in the small suite with a pull-out sofa bed. It was comfortable and modern. Clean. When there was a small problem with the fridge on check-in, the hotel immediately fixed it. Would stay again.

What a lovely place to stay! Will definitely be coming back. Hopefully it will be hotter next time so we can swim off the dock. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
