I hit a bear above Dease Lake and needed to speak with insurance and RCMP. The owner was pleasant and accommodating. One down sided bed was lumpy and no fitted bedsheets but slept well

One of the best business's I've stayed in by far, the service was kind, respectful,quiet and secure but most of all I felt safe. The front desk has been understanding, situation based as well as soft spoken and caring. From my perspective this establishment is #1 in my books!

Best housekeeper/housekeeping i have encountered in a very long time. Had a kitchenette that was actually useful. Full size fridge, sink/stove/cutlery/pots/pans. Bed wasn't the most comfortable
