Old Alcohol Plant

Staff was friendly and helpful

Nothing

No AC in July, the patio isn't safe as anybody from the next door rooms can come onto your patio, therefore, you can't keep it open at all times (esp during the night), not clean, but not too dirty either, smell of old hotel, not ok for allergies; not enough staff (had to wait for them to show up at the front desk); the door was stuck and I wasn't able to open it without their help.

View and garden

Our room was over the kitchen and "party room". The kitchen fan ran continuously. The staff was preparing for a wedding so banging and loud talking could be heard during the day as we tried to rest after a 6:15 a.m. ferry ride from Victoria. When we asked to be moved the clerk was unsympathetic and kept saying they were an event center, as if it was our mistake to book there. There were no extra rooms because of the wedding. We decided to go to another hotel and the clerk did not argue but gave us a refund once their computer system was running which had been down since we got there.

It was a relaxed atmosphere.

The building has a musty smell. One of the reasons we chose the hotel was the good ratings for the restaurant. It’s remote, so we planned to eat dinner there. After we’d registered and were walking to the elevator, we saw a sign on the restaurant that it’s not open on Tuesdays. We thought they should have mentioned it.

The continental breakfast was very good, with seasonal fruit and pastries.

The setting of this hotel is wonderful. However, the rooms and the interior are very dated. It was a little challenging getting our bags to our room. The staff was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. We needed a peaceful place to stay and this fit the bill.

Great dinner in their restaurant. Beautiful view of water and surrounding area

Beautiful getaway.

This is my third year back. Beautiful and peaceful. Old style charm and cool history. The food at the restaurant is really good (scallops).
