a tender seaside stay
perfect location fine restaurants clean room
The location was perfect. So close to the sea wall and many fine restaurants, it was a dream. i especially cherished the sunsets i viewed each evening from nearby, holding hands with my beloved. the room was clean and the king bed welcomed us with open arms after our long walks along the shore.
The elevator felt a little old. The hotel could use a small refresh.

i found the location perfect, steps from the beach and a short walk to stanley park. the staff was always cheerful and ready to assist (i really appreciated their help with directions). i enjoyed the walking paths along the bay, so accessible from the hotel.
The street noise was noticeable through the old windows. It was a bit hard to sleep sometimes.
