Pros:

Goede locatie dichtbij ferry, gratis parking, ruime kamers

Cons:

Hot tub en steam room gesloten voor renovatie zonder vermelding tot we er zelf naar op zoek gingen, ook niet vermeld bij het boeken.
Bedden niet zo comfortabel, badkuip schilferde af als we er in zaten, rare en onaangename geur en smaak in het kraanwater.

It was an unexpected stay in Prince Rupert but the constant moving was a bit much.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Staff trying their best. Three rooms in 3 nights but I didn’t have a reservation. 1st night had to move because of rain dripping on ceiling above bed…that could turn into a nightmare for repair. No maintenance staff at night but what can you do people can’t work 24 hours a day. I was moved … but moved to a “less adequate” room and not discounted anything on my room…yikes. 3rd night nicer room but had to pay more because the hotel was booked a bit more. Needed two more nights and was told sure for double the cost. I moved to a different hotel.

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.
