Good place. Free breakfast, guest laundry and other amenities. As i have stayed here, there is a "regular" that has now parked in the parking marked bus only. I have come back with the team twice now and found him parked there. The GM is un willing to have his truck towed even though there are signs saying improperly vehicles will be towed. I do not recommend any hotel thatdoesnt hold all guests to the same standard.
Great experience being at the Hotel, wonderful service from all of the staff, morning, noon and night. I have also had a wonderful experience going to the weekday socials during my stay.
Recently stayed one night in two bedroom suite. It was great experience. Nice and clean. Breakfast is wonderful!l Also there is a Tesla charger on the premises so I didn’t need to go somewhere else. Bedding is clean and comfortable. Overall it was super great stay. I will come back!
Five stars all around. This hotel bar is one of those rare spots that gets everything right. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between stylish and relaxed—ideal for winding down after a long day or kicking off a night out. The cocktails are thoughtfully crafted (not just pretty, but genuinely excellent), and the bartenders clearly know their craft while still being warm, attentive, and unpretentious. What really sets this place apart is the service. From the moment you sit down, you feel welcomed and well taken care of without ever feeling rushed. Whether you’re a hotel guest or just stopping in, it feels like a destination in its own right. I’d happily come back again—and recommend it to anyone looking for a great drink and an even better experience.
Nice place and great rates. The breakfast was simply incredible. What a nice surprise. The room was clean. Bedding was perfect . They had pillows labeled both "soft" and "firm". Very close proximity to restaurants.
From the moment I walked into this facility, I felt welcomed and safe. The nicely, nestled location near all the shopping you can possibly need and cold stone ice cream To the most spacious rooms, the most comfortable beds and then to wake up to a very full buffet style breakfast. Staff is great! Clean rooms and awesome heated pool. I will definitely stay here again. This is my spot for visiting family in the area 100% recommend.
Honestly this hotel has the kindest and most considerate front desk staff I have ever met, if you need a hotel in the area I highly recommend staying here.
My room was AWESOME! Felt like an apartment! Th lobby smells amazing and the staff is very attentive and friendly! I’m definitely booking a stay again
This unpretentious hotel is 2 miles from the Pacific Bonsai Museum, and 3 miles from both the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden and West Hylebos Wetlands Park.
