Expedia should remove this INN from their site.It might be OK for RVs.
This Inn was a ripoff; it shouldn’t even rate a “one” . Picture your great grandmothers room with a faded bed spread and a soiled fabric chair. No place to hang clothes. The bathroom had no hair dryer nor even an outlet to plug your own dryer/shaver into.
Granted I had a roof over our head and hot running water; but it was NOT worth $150; at best $50.

Smooth check in despite past mid night

They did lose our room key, and tried to charge us $300 for a replacement. They stated that there was no way their housekeeping would have missed it and that they checked "many many times."
We were hung up on twice and told "I am not dealing with you anymore." However, we decided to call the following day and insist on another room check... they found the key. The whole situation left a really bad taste in my mouth and the stress of the situation put a damper on the rest of our trip.
Roomwise it wasn't bad. Kind of what we expected. Beds were hard but the room was clean and the rate wasn't bad. After this experience though I would tell everybody to take pictures of the room when you leave, and return the key to the front because this whole ordeal was just shady. 😬

We were not able to attend due to illness. When I called the day before to advise they said they were charging me regardless. In this day and age that is unacceptable. The did not even ask me for a reason. Terrible service.

Safe, quiet, slightly dated. Overall a good spot for access to Port Hardy and Fort Rupert

The bathroom door would not stay close, so no privacy. Bathroom mirror very poor. There was no security lock on the outside door. We expected a kitchen but only 1 hotplate & small fridge. We booked for 2 nights, left after 1 night. On the plus side the towels & sheets were all clean & new.

2.0 / 5.0
The unit we were given was around a dark corner and felt isolated. The windows did not have locks. One was missing a screen. It did not feel safe. If i had arrived alone i would have been too scared to stay. All was fine and there were no intruders, but the room was not secure and women traveling alone should be aware that they too may be concerned.

1.0 / 5.0
Staff were very nice and helpful and allowed me to check in early. Things to work on:
- no extra lock, chain, or latch on the door, only the handle locked
- kept tripping on mat at entry as it was curled up
- room smelled strongly of fresh paint (but looked good and freshly painted!!) so I had to keep the windows open
- shower handle kept falling off
Loved having a microwave and fridge in the room and they both worked great, also TV was nice and big, bed comfortable. Also lots of parking, easy to find and there is a lovely river loop walk right across the road.
3.0 / 5.0
This place is not walking distance to anything. The hotel is a relic out of the 70’s and needs a major overhaul. Clean, but basic.
5.0 / 5.0
Nice rooms. Very quite close to a nature trail. Far away from amenities so you need a car for dining and shopping

We got off the ferry at midnight, lobby was still open for us. I had a problem with the heating in my room, the manager came at 1:00 a.m. and fixed it! That's a good service!
