Great stay, nice hotel, definitely recommend.
Pros:

We had a room with two queen sized beds and a water view. The bay window and window seat made for some fun boat, otter, and eagle watching! The views were amazing and we really enjoyed that.
Having two queen beds (our choice) made the room a bit tight for space so if you pack a lot of luggage keep that in mind. We made it work.
The hotel should be commended for having heat pump AC and heat. The unit in the room was quiet and cooled the room very well (it was warm in the afternoons when we were there). The bathroom was also small and has been remodeled but the shower controls were a bit hard to figure out. Overall though the rain shower was nice to have.
The restaurant has very good food and drinks. Wait staff in the evenings were a bit more knowledgeable and attentive than in the mornings but overall we recommend the restaurant. The views there are also excellent.
Front desk staff were very nice and helpful. We also appreciated the guest laundry facilities as we were on an extended trip-bring your own soap. There is really good grocery store right across the street which was great for take out food and snacks.

Cons:

It would be nice to have a way out of the hotel other than walking in the front parking lot. It made for some awkward pedestrian/car interactions. The walking path behind the hotel is great, it would be nice to be able to get to that directly.

Excellent hospitality and beautiful setting
Pros:

Waterfront, easy access to everything you want or need! Walking or driving distances. Staff were incredible. My 13-year-old forgot his Nintendo Switch in our room and was in a flat panic. I called and emailed and received a call back and an email back letting me know it was found and confirming they were holding it until we get back from Haida Gwaii. Breakfast at the restaurant was excellent. The room was so comfortable and the soap/shampoo/conditioner made me wish you could buy it on site!

Cons:

I wish I’d booked an ocean view room, but that is on me.

Gorgeous views over the waterfront - lovely window seats to enjoy the view by
Pros:

We absolutely loved our room overlooking the water. We were fortunate enough to be in Prince Rupert on a sunny day so the view was stunning. The patio of the restaurant was also beautiful and was a nice place to relax and enjoy the view.

Cons:

We decided to book a room at the Crest because it was advertised to have a hot tub overlooking the water and splurged a little more to book there. So, you can imagine our disappointment that the hot tub was out of commission as they were renovating to make a spa. The hotel and restaurant/patio were lovely but it was disappointing that no one let us know that the hot tub would not be there.

Very comfortable beds and linen, spectacular Ocean view room and restaurant was exceptional.
Pros:

The breakfast was outstanding, the Ocean view spectacular and it was close to other amenities in town.

Cons:

The cost was a little inflated given some facilities were not open and it is an older hotel but it was peak summer tourist season.

Gorgeous, traditional room with amazing views and a huge tub!
Pros:

Our room was lovely. We had an unobstructed view of the water from a little nook by the window.

Cons:

Initially our room was right above a smoking zone. As soon as we entered the room, it smelled awful! We're not smokers and had little kids with us. After speaking to the front desk,we were moved to another room. We were there for 2 nights and unfortunately, the second night was charged at a different and higher rate than our original booking. We were moved from a room with 2 double beds to a king.

Very sad.
Pros:

I liked the location

Cons:

The first time I stayed was over 20 years ago and I have stayed numerous times. The last time was over 5 years ago and I have noticed the decline. When we arrived which was approximately 5 pm there were about a dozen dirty wine glasses in the hall. They were still there the next morning. Jacuzzi wasn’t working. Carpets looking worn. The hotel is definitely in decline. I won’t stay there again

Fabulous stay
Pros:

Love the old world decor of the rooms - nice break from common modernist black and gray decors nowadays. Modernized bathrooms are also a nice feature, albeit small. Water view is fabulous - even got to see cruise ship dock right in front of us.

Excellent restaurant!

Great location for walking into the quaint parts of the downtown shoreline and the regional museum.

No problems with late check in at 1am because of late ferry arrival.

Cons:

Coffee maker (how about a pod machine!!), and no floor mat for the bathroom.
