University of the Fraser Valley

Hotel room is very roomy, it doesn’t provide with busboy service at least for the time of my stay, but there are plenty of bellhop carts for guests to use. Room rate is reasonable.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Pardox. All the staff were top-notch and friendly, which is so important and makes all the difference. It is downtown in a very safe area, also important. I did a walking tour that included some of the locations a bit closer to the water (10 minute walk), and frankly, I found several of those locales a bit sketchy. My only real gripe was the room setup. It was a beautiful large room, but most of the outlets were on the opposite side of the room from the two queen beds. They shared a central bedside table. behind which was only one double-outlet, taken up with their bedside lamp and alarm clock. On the lamp itself was a single outlet and two usb-A (yes, A not C) ports. Luckily, I had bought a mini power strip and so we could just get by. But come on Paradox, you're a high-end hotel, and you can literally get a $30 lamp from Amazon that would have had an outlet and 2-3 USB-C ports. It's these little details that matter, and frustrate your guests. It was my husband, myself, and 18 year old daughter. We all have phones and ipads/laptops, so accommodating this very standard setup is a must, it should not be a nice to have. Given how great the staff were, I'm confident when they see this review, they'll make this quick and cheap adjustment.

Had a great time! Room was nice, and Creekside Village is lovely
