Wonderful employees, very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, well appointed with fabulous bedding and pillows. Breakfast was delicious and many hot and cold options. Only complaint is my niece was really looking forward to swimming and a hot tub. Was closed for maintenance and hadn't informed us if that. She was pretty disappointed.

I have stayed at this hotel a number of times for work, and I must say this was the best time yet thanks to their breakfast attendant. I decided this morning to take an extra 15 minutes of sleep over visiting their complimentary breakfast before checking out. As I was checking out, the breakfast attendant came up to me and asked if I wasn't getting breakfast. I said no, I really had to get to work and I chose sleep this morning over breakfast. He then asked if he could gather me some items for my day to go. He grabbed me a muffin, apple, banana and yogurt and delivered it to me at the check out desk in a to go bag. I have never had that extra attention and care as a guest at a hotel ever, and I stay at a lot of hotels throughout the BC Interior due to work.
This level of customer service should be celebrated and I will certainly remember this for years to come. Thank you for making my stay even better and ensuring that I start my work day off right.
