It has the friendliness of a hostel, but was designed like a hotel. The decor alone is worth the visit. ##### Hilary Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Sep 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff, clean room, nice atmosphere ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Charles Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities If you want to go to sleep before 1am don’t stay here. The bar by the same name but operated by others keeps the music loud until midnight or 1am then you can listen to them clean up and put all the bottles away. Otherwise a nice clean hotel, know before you go! ##### Charles Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Jan 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location and nice staff.

Excellent staff that are very helpful, e.g. for complex dietary wishes and other support. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jasleen Jun 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The room we had was really nice, but a bit cramped. The patio was nice to relax on. Having the kitchen was nice to do some actual cooking for ourselves instead of having to eat out. The bathroom was quite small and dim (which was the only major downside) - and the mirror/light was rotated 90 degrees from what it should have been. Having a clothes washer to use was nice as well, but some instructions would have been nice since we weren't Dutch and are used to a different style ##### Jasleen Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARK Jun 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Assen Motogp Really friendly and helpful staff.

Had a great weekend at The Happy Traveler! Cool and comfortable rooms. Very helpful and nice staf! ##### Kim Robert Haugerud Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### dave Mar 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness The good - I had a great price for a room with a balcony (the balcony was awesome). All but 1 of the wait staff were excellent. Location was perfect. The not so good. Breakfast, cheese old, bread loaf (yesterday's bread), coffee machine for breakfast - also not so good, paying a pretty good price for not so great food. Also the roof top deck that was raved about wasn't open for the two days I was there - no reason, just not open. I'd give it 3.6 stars - for me is a pretty good rating. ##### dave Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near WaMu Theater](https://www.expedia.ca/WaMu-Theater-Hotels.0-l6298827-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Grouse Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Grouse-Mountain-Hotels.0-l6072253-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites St. Catharines Conference Center by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hotel-Suites-St-Catharines-Conference-Center.h2572.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Riviera Princess - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Grand-Riviera-Princess-All-Inclusive.h2661557.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ko ʻOlina](https://www.expedia.ca/Ko-Olina-Hotels.d6048745.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Radisson Blu Fargo](https://www.expedia.ca/Fargo-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Fargo.h16495.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Panama](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Panama-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d142-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels near Byward Market Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Byward-Market-Square-Hotels.0-l502203-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Arts Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Charlottetown-Hotels-The-Arts-Hotel.h48863492.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fairmont Palliser Gold Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-The-Fairmont-Palliser-Gold.h64577143.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Omaha (OMA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/oma/saskatoon-to-omaha) > > [Flights from Cavan-Monaghan (YPQ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ypq/ord/peterborough-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Cassidy (YCD) to Dallas (DFW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ycd/dfw/nanaimo-to-dallas) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mnl/toronto-to-manila) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to London (YXU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yxu/edmonton-to-london) > > [Flights from Lincoln (YFC) to Reserve Mines (YQY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yfc/yqy/fredericton-to-sydney) > > [flights from miami intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/mia/flights-from-miami-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Prince George (YXS) to San José del Cabo (SJD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxs/sjd/prince-george-to-san-jose-del-cabo) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/del/winnipeg-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/6057903/flights-from-peterborough) > > [Aeromexico Vancouver (YVR) to Mexico City (MEX) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/aeromexico-from-vancouver-intl-to-mexico-city-intl/am/yvr/mex) > > [Flights from British Columbia (YXJ) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxj/phx/fort-saint-john-to-phoenix) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In St Catharines](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-St-Catharines.d10560-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car rentals in Lethbridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Lethbridge.d6139556.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Budget Car Rentals In Pearson Intl](https://www.expedia.ca/Budget-Car-Rentals-In-Pearson-Intl.d5921113-c39.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Cruise > [Carnival Carnival Sunrise Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnival-Cruise-Lines-Carnival-Sunrise.cCV-sSN.Cruise-Ship-Info) ### Packages > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [Blue Lagoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Blue-Lagoon-Grindavik.d6062457.Vacation-Attraction) ### Vacation Rentals > [Annapolis Valley Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Annapolis-Valley-Vacation-Rentals.d3000655564.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals)
