Reviews

• Lou from Australia (9/10)

  I attended an event at Doug Mitchell so stayed here for a night and it was the perfect location. The room was very clean and comfortable and had a kitchenette which I didn’t get to use but would be perfect for a longer stay. The staff were very friendly and I felt very safe walking back here late at night after the concert I attended. The area around UBC is so lovely too.

  Great location. Seems far from the centre of town but the very regular express buses make short work of that! There was a kitchen in the room which was great! Close to the beach and park, which was nice.
