Do not ever book or stay in Room 217. The entry door opens and closes all night, making a lot of noise. The AC is not powerful enough to cool in the room, it was many hours after dark before the room was cool enough to sleep in.

Close to downtown, clean, renovated room. Very welcoming and efficient staff at the desk. Appreciated the cute closet where you can hang clothes. Wish they had noise policies in each room. People next door was watching a movie very loud until late. Walls are very thin, could hear everything, especially when people goes in and out, the doors slamming very loud.

Good Price, not chic and not a fancy area but clean rooms with fridge and microwave and the bus stop is only a 1 minute walk away. The bus takes you to downtown in like 5 minutes. Would recommend.

We had an excellent stay at the Arbutus Inn. We were greeted friendly and given great recommendations for dinner (Glo) and breakfast (The Spoon across the road). We were impressed about the clean room, especially the bathroom was spotless and well lit.

5 night King room with kitchen

Stayed 5 nights in a king room with kitchen. The room was at the end of the hall on ground floor so was quiet. Bed was very comfortable and their was enough space for us to store our two bikes in the room. We managed to get the same parking spot right in front of the doors for our entire stay and felt comfortable that our kayaks on top of our vehicle were safe. The only criticism I have is that the oven could use a good cleaning. I had to run to the dollar store to pick up an aluminum tray to cook my flatbread on as I did not want to put it on the oven rack. Also, the smoke alarm went off due to smoke from burning oven residue. The kitchen cupboard doors could also use a good cleaning. A pleasant stay all in all. Would stay again
