A good place to stay to explore the Sunshine Coast
Pros:

It’s an older hotel but well maintained. The flower garden with fish pond is very pretty and they have outdoor areas where you can relax
It’s nice they have a hot tub, sauna and indoor pool. The staff is super friendly and very accommodating. The bed was not very comfortable for us but maybe for others it’s okay.
They have a grab and go in the morning with muffins, fruit and coffee which is a very nice start of the day!
It’s located in the upper area which means you have to drive everywhere which is totally fine, the lower area is very busy and sometimes hard to find a parking spot but driving to other places is super easy and not much traffic. We enjoyed Gibsons a lot!

Cons:

As said the bed was not super comfy they brought us other pillows which we very much appreciated but they were too big for us as well. I would bring my own pillow next time :)

Great staff. Great stay.
Pros:

The staff were exceptionally helpful and cheerful. Clean pool and hot tub. The jets on the hot tub felt wonderful on sore muscles from all our hiking adventures. The gardens are lush and lovely with sitting areas, a gazebo and a fish pond. Bed very comfy. I asked about laundry facilities and was so impressed with it!!! The light breakfast was just right (fresh apples/oranges and a selection of delicious muffins wrapped to eat in or take with you). Gibsons is a sweet oceanside town near the ferry. For sure visit the aquarium a short drive from the hotel (excellent staff and so many tanks of fish and tide pool species which made our exploring along the ocean more interesting)) So many restaurants, beaches (Secret Beach was our fav) and hikes nearby (like Soames Hill). One evening we walked to the "vintage" movie theatre a block from the hotel which was fun. I would recommend this hotel. And we would stay here again for sure.

Excellent hotel in Gibsons
Pros:

I was really impressed with this hotel. Top of the list was the bed - great quality pillows, mattress, sheets, plus blackout curtains - I sleep sooo well! Other than that the place is very clean and well maintained. The gardens in the middle of the building are great. It's got a lot of charm. Nice to have the small pool and gym too. Location-wise, it's not in the centre of the charming part of Gibsons, but it is in the middle of the functional day-to-day part of town with some restaurants, grocery and pharmacy just a short walk away. The v cool local movie theatre is right next door. We got around using the bus - it was doable.

Cons:

It's great that they offer some 'grab and go' food in the morning. Just know it's not breakfast! Consider it more of a snack. One of the dumbbells in the gym was damaged and taped up. It still worked, but it was a bit tricky to use.

Pros:

My partner & I loved the large open space, the room was beautiful with excellent lighting. The kitchenette and the location of the hotel were very convenient for us, we did not have enough time to utilize the rest of the hotel, so we plan to go back and visit again!

Cons:

It wasn't very clear where the other entrance to the hotel was, and the parking is a bit sqʷiči(annoying)but that's a pretty small downside...
