Hotel berhampiran Discovery Passage Aquarium, Sungai Campbell

We had a couple of nights here either side of a camping trip. While dated in style, our rooms were clean and in good decorative order, with newish looking bathrooms. We had fantastic views over Discovery Passage, and even saw a humpback whale passing! They have additional equipment in reception that you can ask for, including crockery, cutlery, a toaster and even bear spray! We used the laundry, which was fine. I was hovering between 4 and 5 stars, but opted for 5 because of Lana, who welcomed us on both occasions and was so helpful. She gave us some ideas of places to visit. Elk Falls and Quinsam Hatchery were well worth it.

This hotel has aged. You can tell they are trying to keep it up. We hadn’t visited in 15 years.. We forgot about the lack of elevators to each floor If you have mobility issues, this could be a concern .. can be difficult to bring luggage up and down stairs. We figured out how to use the back entrance to bring our luggage back out the vehicle.. Ocean front rooms are nice. Balcony’s with table and chairs are great. Kind of relaxing to watch cruise ships and boats working bath and forth. Breakfast included at the onsite restaurant is a nice touch. It is full buffet breakfast. Also nice to sit at water front windows for the eating area as well. If you like to workout the workout room has awesome windows out to the ocean.. It is out in the parking lot, but kind of neat separate building. We ate our meals the restaurant for the evening. The meals were ok.. I guess we ate there for convenience at the end of our adventurous days. Probably not the best location to walk at the ocean/beach.. Too many rocks, not really a beach, although an ocean front hotel. As we had a room that could be an adjoining room, the first night it must have been empty as the second night it was occupied.. very very noisy. Seemed like very thin walls. We could tell what song the child’s toys were playing.

We stayed here three nights in September. We had a really nice suite with an extra bedroom, a really big livingroom, a very nice bathroom and a balcony. The view from the balcony was lovely as it was facing the sea and we enjoyed sitting outside in the evening and watching the ferry arrive. Breakfast was included in the room rate and was excellent. The location is really perfect - restaurants and the pier where all the boat trips leave are within easy walking distance. We can highly recommend this hotel.

The worst Ramada I've ever stayed in. An absolute dump! I should know, I paid for seven nights and every night I regretted my choice. Take a look at the photos, this demonstrates what we had to live with to try and make the heat bearable. Why so hot, the beds are located in a loft. All the heat collects up in the sleeping space, and little portable fans do absolutely nothing to cool things down. We had to sleep on top of the sheets in our underwear. Get used to sweating all night! The hotel staff refused to fix the AC. The first two days I asked three different staff if someone could fix it, only to be told that none of the AC works in the hotel. Bizarrely, when challenged that my friend two room doors down had AC, the staff members refused to acknowledge it as real. When I told them his room number, they still claimed that none of the rooms had AC. Talking to other guests, some had AC, some didn't. The ones that didn't were told nobody in the hotel had AC. This meant our patio door had to stay open all night long. So we got to enjoy adjoining rooms smoking on their balconies, which meant that as non-smokers we got stuck with second-hand smoke everyday and throughout the night. Other guests drinking and swearing on their patios, they might as well be doing it right inside your open doored room. Further, the hotel faces onto a busy highway, so all day and all night you get smashed with traffic noise. Half of the wall sockets don't work. The breakfast is mediocre at best. The staff aren't empowered to address any of the issues. Because the hotel is 50yrs old, it's dirty, worn-out, carpets and furniture are filthy, the bathroom is nasty, cleaning staff are absent on the weekends, etc, etc, and etc. I travel a lot. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone, even if it only cost $5 per night. Sadly I paid over $200 per night. Ramada, your should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves! Room 314 Jul 10-17, 2023
