Unfortunately when I booked either I neglected to say we had a dog or there was not a place for the information. When we arrived we could not have the room that was booked as it was not dog friendly. The staff did get it one however it took an hour to prepare the room. Not sure if this was a Expedia issue. No shampoo in the shower and the toilet bowl struggled to fill.

Overall the property was nice, however, our bathroom was not very clean. Like hair still in shower and on floor, looked like it was barely wiped down. Beds looked like they were slapped together and they are rock hard. Staff when we called a couple of times weren’t very friendly, however, when we checked in staff was friendly.

Disliked: Cleanliness
At 4.20 pm the room looked like a piece of sh…. They gave us an other room which next day was never vaccumed (like the hallway, small pieces paper (same one) was in the hallway ) no soap in the dispenser. No coffee (Paper) mugs replaced. The floor in the elevator looked like it never had been cleaned since the hotel was build. Bed was made like a 5 year old tried to do it (I have pictures of the beds and the floor) Disgusting The restaurant was very good and the highlight of our stay. Staff at reception very friendly

Perfect place to stay before and after BC ferries trip up the inside passage, unless you like good coffee. The rooms are always great and this time the front desk staff were fantastic. No longer grouchy and sullen, but thoughtful and attentive. More than makes up for their consistently awful coffee, which any objective reviewer would have to describe as battery acid! We’ll stay here again, just get your coffee elsewhere. 😅

Great hotel and staff

We had a really nice stay at the Kwa’lilas hotel. It is very clean, well maintained, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The beds and pillows are super comfy. The breakfast in the hotel restaurant was also great. Would highly recommend!
