A clean and comfortable place to stay less than a 10 minute drive away from the BC Ferry to Prince Rupert. The only downsides we found were the very thin pillows on the bed and the noise made by travelers arriving on the ferry Prince Rupert between midnight and 1:00 am checking into their rooms.

It was a nice enough property. The bed was too hard and the price was steep considering we just needed a few hours sleep coming in off the ferry at 1 AM. But that of course was not their responsibility. They were gracious to be there to welcome us at that hour!
