Feel like you are living in Prince Rupert at Black Rooster Guesthouse
Pros:

I enjoy the residential setting of Black Rooster Guesthouse. It is close to downtown Prince Rupert, allowing easy exploring of the area. But it is far enough away that you feel like you are at home, once you return to the guesthouse.

Cons:

I don't know how the shared kitchen rules would work. I was the only person in the shared apartment the first night. The second night, there was another couple, who arrived and used the kitchen. If I didn't use the kitchen, but the other guests leave it in a state that requires the penalty payment, would this be applied to me??

Pros:

Very stylish guesthouse. Shared kitchen had lots of fridge room room for overnight food storage. 6th ave west is a very busy street (noisy) for street facing rooms.

Cons:

Don't think there is any insulation between adjoining walls. Almost felt like neighbors were talking in our room. Concept here is designed like a b+b without the breakfast.
Prince Rupert accommodation is ridiculously expensive for what you get. At least this place was quality for the price. We would stay here next year.

Très moyen
Pros:

Les 2 chambres, la cuisine

Cons:

Les informations erronées du gérant au sujet des musées qui nous ont fait ajouter une nuit alors qu'il n'y a rien d'ouvert le lundi, la propreté moyenne, les souris dans le salon et la salle de bain, l'aspect vieillot du mobilier, le parking devant la fenêtre de la chambre et le bruit de la rue.
