Service Quality needs to improve. 1) The room was not cleaned at all when I checked-in and entered the room the first time. Used towels, garbage, messy bed, etc. 2) The staff at the front desk during check in repeatedly said “hello my flend” to me. Lacked professionalism.

The entire staff (front desk, restaurant, housekeeping) were aware that we were there for my partner to rest and recover from a light stroke after released from the local hospital. It was my birthday during our stay, and front desk sent up a plate of Nanaimo bars for my bday; the kitchen knew he wasn't eating and made special effort to send up scrambled egg and ice cream for breakfast his first day; housekeeping asked me each day when he would be out for return testing at hospital and cleaned our room while he was gone so she wouldn't disturb his napping. I was stunned by such kind, thoughtful personal attention we received. My partner was able to sleep throughout the day and enjoyed the gorgeous harbor view, watching the seaplanes, water taxis and yachts come and go whenever he awoke. This was a medical emergency/resort recovery experience, and we are deeply grateful for the caring service we received.

Although it was a pet friendly hotel, there was no bed for a dog, or small treats for welcome, which I've got at different hotels. Also it was too bad that there was no room service, especially sround this busy seasoon, so we couldn't get anything after the long trip and late night arrival. At the chexk-out, there was no specific instruction about how to get out from the parkade, so it was a bit confusing.
