We (my daughter and I) arrived on Friday evening, she from Vancouver and me from London UK. It was the Friday of the snow storm so our journey had been slow. I had booked through Air Canada for a Deluxe Lakeview - two double beds but was shown to a standard room with one bed - that really disappoints me - the booking is clear - why do they not get it right first time? we got the right room eventually.
We popped across the snowy road to Gibsons for a bite to eat and as many reviewers say, this is a great place for great steaks and there are many other eating establishments nearby.
Next morning we could see our room properly and with the floor to ceiling windows on two sides (corner room) on the 18th floor the views were great - we do like views from our bedrooms wherever we are. Room was generally good - a little dated in places, the bathroom a good size and a nice separate glass shower cubicle with a good showerhead. Beds comfortable and a decent work desk - the TV was an old bulky CRT type and really ought to be replaced with a modern flat screen and similarly the dated CD player with an ipod connection. I do feel that internat connection shud be free - why can I go to Starbucks and spend a few dollars on a coffee and get free internet but spend hundreds on a room over four nights and have to pay for WiFi?
The Whiskey Bar and Grill is OK but I would have thought an additional more sophisticated eatery appropriate for this establishment - perhaps the problem is all the alternatives nearby. At least the internet connection was free in the bar.
Really not sure if I would stay here again - it was reasonable value but I had expected more - personally I do not think it compares with the Vancouver property.
