The room was spacious and accomodating, with a large refrigerator and cook stove in the kitchenette. The living area was comfortable. The setting was great for those of us who live rural, natural beauty. The building itself badly needed exterior paint and maintenance.

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.

It was a nice enough property. The bed was too hard and the price was steep considering we just needed a few hours sleep coming in off the ferry at 1 AM. But that of course was not their responsibility. They were gracious to be there to welcome us at that hour!

The first thing that struck me was the shabbiness of the railings on the 2nd floor of the Inn. The paint was peeling off the boards and it looked as though its needed maintenance for quite a while. Didn't exactly privide a warm, welcome feeling after traveling all day. Aside from that however, the lobby was OK, the owners were cheerful, and check-in went smoothly. The room was clean with modern fixtures; no complaints there. I was able to park my vehicle right in front of the room. Painting the railings would be a definite improvement!

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.

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.
