Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Massive indoor pool with a lighthouse waterslide
- Tropical atrium with koi ponds and waterfalls
- Free parking and zero hidden resort fees
Snel Overzicht: The atrium is a jaw-dropping oasis, but the rooms are dated and the echoing pool noise will test your sanity if you're trying to sleep early.
Beoordeeld door @mommycristinaknows: We stayed here for a quick family getaway and it was a total surprise. The indoor pool is basically a mini water park with a huge slide. Our room had a fridge and microwave, and the boys loved the arcade downstairs. It's the perfect, easy weekend trip with kids.

Reality check
The atrium view is beautiful, but it comes with echoing noise from the pool and kids playing hockey in the halls.
- You're traveling with kids who want to spend all day on a waterslide
- You need to be close to Victoria Hospital
- You want a tropical vibe in the middle of a Canadian winter
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
7.5
- Housekeeping: Generally spotless and well-maintained, though some older rooms show their age and wear.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean overall, but bathrooms in unrenovated rooms feel dated and tired.
- Maintenance: The atrium is meticulously maintained, but some room repairs are described by guests as 'fixed, but not perfectly'.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality; comfortable beds but nothing luxurious.
- Odors & scents: A very strong, inescapable chlorine and chemical smell throughout the lobby and hallways from the massive indoor pool.

“Hi team, I'd love a renovated room with a balcony overlooking the atrium, but preferably on a higher floor to minimize the pool noise. If those are full, a quiet exterior room close to the lobby would be great.”
