David, North Vancouver

Travelled with family
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were warmly welcomed by an extremely friendly and helpful staff. The first room offered was totally unsuitable - more like a basement suite than a resort hotel room (116). The next room unfortunately had a gas smell and was therefore unsuitable. However the hotel gave us a third room on the second floor overlooking the bay which was delightful. Sometimes disturbed by people walking along the waterfront but not really a bother. Resteaurant was OK but as everywhere in the Staes today - too expensive.
