Canadian Princess Lodge & Marina

“For the Adventurers, the pet owners, families and those who don’t mind a bit of noise.”

Gorgeous setting and location. First impression on seeing the large Lodge of rooms that overlook the marina, looks well kept and serene.

Gorgeous setting and location. First impression on seeing the large Lodge of rooms that overlook the marina, looks well kept and serene. The walkway down to the lower level was very slippery in the evening & morning. There were grated slates to one side for shoes to grip onto. The room was sufficient with 2 comfy queen beds. The sink area outside the bathroom was a nice touch. I didn’t care for the sliding wooden door to the bathroom that scraped noisily in the night when used (some WD40 sprayed could possibly fix that). I requested a fireplace and it was a true fireplace but no wood to light a fire. I was expecting a modern (propane or electric) one however it fit the age of the place. It was surprising to hear all the sounds that go with the place. The barking at sunrise surely woke everyone up. There was a path in front of the building by the ground-level rooms where people were walking their dogs all morning. If you have pets it appears to be pet friendly. Next we heard the people above us talking, walking around like in an old house with floor creaking. We also heard the sea lion calls echoing in the morning. The self- laundry facility is a closet of a room on exterior of building with an old coin operated washer and dryer that has seen better years. The office up at the entrance has Loonies if you have no change. The dryer took my $4.00 so I made the longish trek up the slippery plank to get help. This room and machines definitely need some attention. There was ample parking. We saw a communal kitchen but venture to that area. We stayed the one night and it basically was just to sleep. I gave it a 4/5 for the appeal and comfy beds,

“Like a Cabin”

We stayed two nights here for the New Year travel. They provided us a loft room instead of a standard room. It was a bit challenging for our baby to climb stairs, but her sister loved to sleep in the King bed and we could relax a bit after our kids sleep. The location is safe and convenient and the… lisää

We stayed two nights here for the New Year travel. They provided us a loft room instead of a standard room. It was a bit challenging for our baby to climb stairs, but her sister loved to sleep in the King bed and we could relax a bit after our kids sleep. The location is safe and convenient and the room was clean. The common kitchen was nice to talk with other guests, we recommend this charming hotel for family travel.

“A bit disappointing”

A bit disappointing. A beautiful location with lots of parking. Our room was booked in July for an October stay. On arrival the desk assured me the room had a view. It did: a view of the roof of the next building. As I requested a waterfront room this was not on. So I asked for a different one. T… lisää

A bit disappointing. A beautiful location with lots of parking. Our room was booked in July for an October stay. On arrival the desk assured me the room had a view. It did: a view of the roof of the next building. As I requested a waterfront room this was not on. So I asked for a different one. They complied. But the hotel was far from full so there was no excuse really. Then I was told a three night stay only included one housekeeping visit. That’s perfectly fine and I was asked to book the day and the time. Did so, but the housekeeping did not happen. I had to chase the staff to get things done several hours after the time the management requested I book! The room only had enough coffee/tea pods for one night. No proper glasses just two flimsy paper cups. The screen door to the balcony needed serious repair. The room had a mini fridge and a microwave but no plates or cutlery (paper / disposable would do) so I am not sure what one was expected to eat from or with. Comfortable beds, spacious room and a very sweet staff who simply didn’t seem to be getting communication from the front desk. The desk did provide a useful map of the town.
