Other than the cigarette smoke it was a good stay . Bed was comfortable and the suite was clean.
Pros:

Location is spectacular!

Cons:

I didn’t like the cleaning lady smoking right outside the exit gate when we were packing out . I hate smoking and it was really gross to have clouds of it in my face ! The bathroom in our place smelled of cigarette smoke in the am .

Good location, but not good service.
Pros:

the location was right on the beach, the room was clean and spacious, has a bit of ocean view

Cons:

the main light bulb was out, we had to go back to the front to exchange it, then that night, the fire alarm started in the room, at midnight 12am! there was no smoke or anything, the alarm explained if running out of battery, would start alarming. We tried to shut off, but it was inside of the machine, something we could not stop, we thought we stopped it, then went on again, we had to cover with the cushions not to hear the beeping sound, we were so tired, could not sleep well because of that. We complained to the staff in front, but she wasn't really looking into my husband eye and saying that they couldn't do anything, no discount or no offer. Also we realized that it was already paid through the site, but we were told to pay again (they reimbursed later but still ! ) we think staff wasn't really professionally trained.

Seaside room with fabulous views of Salish Sea
Pros:

Location was fantastic, sleeping with the sound of the waves on the shore. Views from our 'patio' of the sea and the mountains was exceptional. Nice lawn to look across.
Bed was wonderfully comfortable.
Bedside USB(C) sockets on one side (highly appreciated)
Apart from the sea and birds there was no other noticeable noise.

Cons:

Seemed a bit tired, clean and all worked but. Was definitely in need of a serious reno, door lock was fiddly, patio door didn't lock, bit of wood hanging down just outside.
