This was a very convenient stay close to the ferry terminal for our early morning ferry. While the room was scrupulously clean, and the amenities were very good in that there were good soaps, nice towels, etc. the one major drawback was that the room was barely bigger than the bed. Had it been just that little bit bigger it would’ve gotten five stars all across the board.

Note that the property is pretty old, so you will sleep in smells of mold/old wood/old sewage system etc for the night. Not too strong tho, tolerable considering the price and location. Otherwise the place was fine. Spacious room, helpful and friendly staff, 3 min drive away from Departure Bay, nice Harbour view, quiet, etc.
