Pausa in Prince Rupert
Pros:

Abbiamo dormito negli appartamenti, spaziosi e la cucina ben fornita

Cons:

Nulla da segnalare ma un consiglio per gli ospiti europei, sarebbe utile avere le istruzioni su come fare il caffè e le dosi da usare😀

Für 1 Nacht übernachten erträglich.
Pros:

Empfang war jedoch freundlich.
Für 1 Nacht erträglich. Lage gut, da in der Nähe der Fähre.

Cons:

Wir bekamen ein anders aussehendes Zimmer und zwar im Nebengebäude und nicht wie in der Abbildung bei der Buchung ersichtlich war im Hauptgebäude.
Der gemeinsame Zimmereingang führte zuerst durch eine gemeinsame Küche und von dort in 2 separate Zimmer, d.h. das Nebenzimmer wurde von einem anderen Gast bewohnt - speziell!
Der ganze Boden im ganzen Nebengebäude war total schräg und die Aussenfassade war ringsum in Metall gehüllt.

Pros:

I picked this place because of the location. It was within walking distance for what I needed. Also a short drive to the ferry. The mattress was firm and the bedding was inviting.

Cons:

I have blackout curtains in my room at home, I missed not having the same here.

What started as a long and inconvenient day, that had concluded in a more inconvenient evening.
Pros:

The exterior of the building looks nice. The location really is the best part of the experience.

Cons:

We were staying in a shared suite room. Which was odd that it even existed, I was surprised to learn it was shared. I booked through bookings.com and it was not clear I was booking a shared room, until I arrived on site. The lobby office was messy and unprofessional. The front office staff were not the most personable or welcoming. The shared space in the unit was clean and but to be honest I didn’t even go in there except to get into my room, the room itself was mostly clean in the most important areas (sheets were clean, tub was clean) but the areas where it was just for aesthetics…. Was disgusting. A weird splatter on the tv, a gross film of grime build up with items that you would occasionally come in contact with, outdated and significantly damaged furnishings which included a tv that was on its last legs, and appliances within the room that looked Temu fresh… the renovations were clearly done by someone in house and likely by someone who was given limited tools and budget. The chain to support locking the door was hidden in a drawer. I ended up installing the chain myself.

I would most likely recommend this unit to someone who has slighted me in the past.
