Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We recently stayed at this property and, unfortunately, the overall experience did not justify the price paid. The room hygiene was disappointing. There were spider webs and insects inside both the room and bathroom, and we also noticed hair left behind in the bathroom, which raised concerns about the cleanliness standards. On the positive side, the mattress was comfortable and provided a good night's sleep. The room included air conditioning that worked well, a TV with a basic Telus connection, and a coffee machine. However, only one coffee pod was provided, which felt inadequate for the room rate. The highlight of the property was definitely the central pool area. It is surrounded by tables, chairs, and sun loungers, creating a pleasant space for guests to relax throughout the day. The beach is within walking distance, but access is limited by a stretch of private properties and hotels along the shoreline. As a result, most visitors will likely need to drive to the main public beach area to fully enjoy the waterfront. Overall, while the pool and comfortable bed were positives, the lack of cleanliness and limited value for money make it difficult for me to recommend this property at its current price point.

The young woman at the desk was polite and helpful. The room was spartan at best with a very old blanket covering the bed. Pillows were old and lumpy. No soap, shampoo or coffee maker etc in the room. Old and broken mismatched hangers in the closet area. Will not be staying there again!

We chose this property because of the outdoor area full of flowers and green areas, patio tables and pool. We stayed in a kitchen suite with 2 queen beds & sofa bed, so the inside was perfect for our week long stay. The staff were accommodating and friendly. This property was close to a restaurants, park and a beach within walking distance. Our stay was relaxing and what we were looking for.

The suite was spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The outside of the property needs a lot of maintenance work. Railings on the deck were loose, stairs were falling apart etc. The pool was cold so we weren’t able to swim in it for long. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

The courtyard was nice, flowers were beautiful. I found it double standard, I could have my dog, but was not allowed in courtyard but the owners dog was x2. I couldn't leave him in my room, so it made it impossible to enjoy the courtyard. I would totally respect that except their 2 dogs were not on leash. Will not go back. Not clean , windows very dirty , bathroom edges looked dirty. Small vanity. Just not great over all.

The rooms are small and building entrance was not clean. Our room fridge n freezer was not working and front desk staff tried to charge us extra to switch us to a room with working fridge n freezer. After checking 2 different rooms with all no minibar working, the staff upgraded us to bigger room sounding like it was our fault that their amenities doesn't work. They had beautiful pool open till 10pm. Location is nice.
