We had an amazing stay! The view is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff are very nice and friendly. There’s also a playground on the other side of the lake, so we paddleboarded over a couple of times for our little one to enjoy it. It was such a beautiful and relaxing place, especially for a family getaway. We would definitely stay here again!

The room was very clean, which I appreciate. Had a great view of the lake from my room. It was a typical hotel room so you could hear your neighbours above you. Bed was comfortable but was squeaky. Overall it was a good stay. No restaurant in the hotel so had to find other places to eat if you don’t want the continental breakfast.

A good place to catch some sleep en route after arriving on the last ferry from Tswawwassen. Our late arrival was dealt with very kindly and efficiently. Hotel was easy to find and has a nice outlook into the lake. Hotel itself is tired and in need of a makeover. Walked into a massive spider web when entering our room.

We stayed as a group of eight, and the experience was fantastic. The lake view, especially in the evening, was beautiful and made for a perfect backdrop. We had a fun barbecue and found the staff to be genuinely helpful and welcoming. Overall, it gave us a peaceful and memorable time, and we’d absolutely recommend it.

The hotel has a nice atmosphere and is clean, and the rooms are also clean. However, there are several basic items that you would normally expect to find in a hotel room, such as an electric kettle, disposable cups, paper towels, toothbrush and toothpaste, and several other basic amenities that are commonly available in most hotels regardless of their star rating.
The breakfast was also very limited. If breakfast is an important meal for you, I would recommend considering other options nearby.
Considering the price charged per night, I also found the in-room amenities and services to be quite limited.
On the positive side, the staff were friendly, polite, and respectful.
