Stayed there by myself, but will be back again with wife and kids. Great property, perfect location and wonderful staff. Loved walking and running the trails and sea wall that was so close to hotel. Very quiet and peaceful at night and the bed and bathroom was great. My only complaint is that the treadmills in the gym are very old and don’t work well. Additionally, as the jacuzzi hot tub was located in the workout room, very hot and humid to work out there. However on days when it is not raining you don’t need to use the gym given the great trails around. I will be back.

I love the location but the bed and pillows were not very comfortable. I usually sleep like a baby at hotels so I was surprised. Staff was great though all around and I would stay again.

The beds were very, very uncomfortable, room was the tiniest room we’ve ever stayed in- very cramped. Great location but that’s about it.

The staff was extremely accommodating and kind. It was our anniversary and they put us in a room with a view of the water and allowed us to check in early via a text when our room was ready. The property is clean although a bit dated but the location and ease of parking make it a good value. We walked to the Granville Market within a few minutes for lunch and breakfast. Watching the water activity and walking the paths around the hotel were enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you especially to the memorable staff!

The hotel is great but the Dockside restaurant serves very, very small portions and is very, very expensive. I ended up walking down the street to the Keg to get more food after I ate my very tiny portion served to me at the Dockside restaurant. I am a tiny little bit of a person so it is not like I have a huge appetite

It was close to the venue that I was in town for. I had great sleep, and the shower was so good. Also the walkability to get to South Granville was so easy. The daytime staff was also very nice and helpful.

We stayed at the hotel quite a few years ago and really liked it. It’s looking a bit tired now but the staff are amazing and helpful. It’s convenient with the little boats so close. All in all a great place to stay.

Hotel(the only one in Granville Island) is just beside the Marina, and the 2 of us, had a room(with little balcony) overlooking the waters/boats-great views day/night. So much activity to just watch from there. They have a 'Dockside Restaurant', serving all 3 meals, helps. Icing is the vicinity to the Granville public market, just 5 minutes walk. Parking at hotel is available(they charge).
