Nothing bad about this hotel. May be the room size were small but that was what i chose keeping in mind my budget. Heady, the reception guy, was really nice and friendly.

We loved our stay! They set up a bed for our 1y/old and always smiled and made us feel welcome!

The restaurant was also very retro and I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast!

Emily Carr house is just down the street which was so intere...
