I truly don't know where to begin because our experience was far beyond anything we expected. Every…read moreaspect of our experience was exceptional. This hotel is absolutely a top contender in Gibsons because of the staff alone. I don't think I've ever stayed in a hotel where the staff has gone out of their way to make you feel as comfortable and welcome as the wonderful staff at Gibsons Garden Hotel. The rooms are a true highlight. They are incredibly spacious, offering a level of comfort that is hard to find elsewhere. The bedding felt like sleeping on a cloud, and the thoughtful layout provided the perfect sanctuary to unwind after a day of exploring. The King Suite had all the comforts you could want. So it felt like we literally had everything right there in our room. I just wanted to spend all day in this hotel room! The spacious layout made it feel more like a luxury apartment than a hotel room. Think cozy rooms, small-town charm and easy access to the best things in Gibsons! This hotel blends relaxed luxury with that charming small town vibe! Nothing feels better than a cozy hotel stay! As someone who is always on the go I love just being able to slow down here. Whether you're here for a weekend escape, or just a little reset, this hotel truly has it all. This was the perfect weekend escape. The staff is on another level of kindness which made us feel at home. Everything is done to make you feel special. Every interaction felt intentional and respectful, not scripted or rushed. It made the stay smooth, relaxing, and memorable. Well done to the entire team. This is how hospitality should be done. This hotel is a credit to its ownership and management team. Kudos to everyone involved for delivering such a consistently high level of service. Their hospitality truly set the tone for the entire stay. Everyone we met was genuinely friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. I enjoyed my stay with them because they truly care for their guests. You can tell the staff care about the guests and take pride in making sure everyone has the best possible experience. That kind of dedication is rare, and it makes a world of difference. We are not just a room number. We are treated with respect. We were treated as though we were the most important people in the room, and that level of hospitality is becoming increasingly difficult to find. The location was also ideal, and plenty to do nearby if you decide to leave the property. The hotel combines style, comfort, and truly excellent service. Everything was very well thought out, and it showed in every detail. This is one of those hotels where you walk in and instantly feel relaxed. Every detail has been carefully considered to ensure your comfort. The hotel room cleanliness is of a very high standard. The room was spotless, meticulously maintained, with a modern bathroom that was impeccable in every way. The facilities were spotless and extremely well maintained. There is no better way to end the day than with their indoor pool. And there's nowhere else I'd rather be than in their hot tub. And their sauna was peak relaxation! And we love when a hotel has a good gym! And I loved how after I woke up I was able to enjoy some complimentary light bites and refreshments in their lobby to start my day! And when I walked outside it was giving secret garden. Looking back, what I will remember most is not just the beautiful room, or excellent location, it is the people. Every member of the team--from housekeeping and the general staff to the front desk--made us feel welcomed, appreciated, and cared for.

The best things are the courtyard garden - the gazebo is a great place to bliss out for a few minutes. And the hot tub is divine - surrounded by plants and flowers rather than artificial light.

Many local resturaunts to choose from, all within walking distance. I definitely recommend this hotel especially if your going on a cruise.

**********UPDATE************…read more I had to change my review because the Hotel reached out to me about my...four star review. ****Caveat emptor! ****** Seriously. Someone named "David" from the hotel reached out by phone and text, offering me $300 to remove my review. He didn't/wouldn't give his job title, so I don't know if he is a manager or what, but what he asked me to do clearly goes against the Terms of Service of Google/Trip Advisor and Yelp! Companies can't threaten or bribe reviewers. I declined the $300. When he called, I told him I was at work and I had to go but he tried to keep me on the phone for a full 20 minutes. I asked him the reason why he wanted me to remove my Four-Star Review and he said it was "affecting the hotels reviews." It was an honest review and NOTHING but glowing but he still wanted it removed. He told me the part they didn't want was that "you get more for less" at the Metropolitan or Sutton Place hotel. For me, its never, not once, ever about the money. I turned down the $300. Integrity is EVERYTHING. So now every smile I got from the staff, I have to assume (what I thought was genuine), but now contrived or fake. I feel Icky to have stayed here knowing they BUY REVIEWS! A complete Fraud, and asking me to go against the Terms of Service of the Platform...and a glowing review at that. I am including my review untouched and unchanged. The Original is everything below this line. The nerve!

There are many, many positives about this place. This includes:…read moreService: An extremely friendly place, starting with the front desk, and includes the housekeeping staff. After the first day, they didn't clean our room. We think it's because they were planning to clean it in the late afternoon, but by the time we got back, we used the "Do Not Disturb" sign, and didn't want it cleaned at that point. Nevertheless, we did NOT complain to anyone about it. We figured we'd wait and see if they cleaned it the next day. The next day, as we were leaving in the AM, a staff member came up to us unsolicited and apologized for not cleaning the room! We were shocked, because obviously, we had not said anything to anyone. So that was above and beyond customer service as far as we were concerned, and deserves to be mentioned here. Rooms: They are probably bigger than most in downtown Vancouver. As others have said, all the rooms now have personal bathrooms in them, rather than shared bathrooms. We had one of their nicer rooms with exposed brick in it. However, the reason why I can not give them five stars involves the heating. Because this is an old building, the heating is radiator heating. Now we had zero problem with that, because we've lived in older places in our lives that heat using a radiator. However, because the building is so old, the heating was hard to control, and took time to actually kick in. One person who worked there even told us that during our first day there. So when we wanted to turn the heat on, it took some time, and then when we wanted it off, that took some time too! The thermostat was behind our TV, so that was a little challenging too. I was going to write that there is no A/C in this place, but I saw an earlier Yelp review that says they provide portable units in warmer weather, so if that's the case, then that would be fine. But there is no central A/C in a place like this. The other curious thing about this place was that you couldn't take the stairs if you wanted to take them instead of the elevator. They did have some outside stairs you could take, which seemed to me to be an old fire escape at one point. But I certainly didn't want to go outside to walk downstairs. All that being said, because there aren't too many rooms there, there is virtually zero wait time for the elevators. In the five days we were there, there was only ONE time that we had to take the elevator with someone else.

The hotel itself was absolutely gorgeous, this is the epitome of my favorite kind of boutique…read morehotel. The decor has a blend of modern lighting and appliances while keeping an antique flare with the brick wall detailing and antiquated heater. It's also ideally located in the city right by the train station and close to a lot of great tourist points in Vancouver. Our room was beautiful and clean--nice bay window lounge area in the room and the bathroom was completely updated with under sink lighting too. Beds were incredibly comfortable and we loved how soft the pillows were. The only negative callout I'd have about the rooms is regarding the old school heaters and no instructions on how to operate it. Now the downside overall was just consistent miscommunication with the staff. While they're nice, they tell you one thing then come to find out they mean something completely different. For example when they say our breakfast reservation is for 7am, so we're up and ready for breakfast only to come out and hear from the front desk staff-- "sorry we actually meant 8am". An entire hour difference is significant and incredibly frustrating when you're timing your morning around a flight but it all worked out in the end. That's just one example among a lot of little other miscommunication from the staff but we only stayed one night anyway so not a big deal. The free breakfast is amazing though and located just at the restaurant next door. There really is only one option (eggs, toast, bacon, potatoes plate) or oatmeal but the breakfast place was absolutely delicious. I'd definitely stay here again if I'm ever back in the area.

They provide all sorts of toiletries, hairdryer, good sized ironing board and iron, as a well as a kettle and ceramic espresso cups and saucers. -Good sized tv, solid wireless, nice variety of lighting options. -I wish we hadn't had completely frosted windows, although I'm pretty sure the view would've been an ugly narrow alley. -A fan in the bathroom would have been nice.The mint lotion, body wash and shampoo were intense and I'd have preferred less tingly aromatic options. -We could hear the bed above of us squeaking whenever someone sat on it or moved. It wasn't too loud inside other than that. -no room service/food (although I saw reference to some membership thing that maybe would've equalled a breakfast)

Staff were helpful and polite so this is nothing to say about the people working here, because they…read moreare great. However, for almost $600 a night i would expect more than 2 breakfast vouchers for 4 people (additional are $27 each). We waited 40 minutes after standard check in time for our room to be ready, cutting into time that we would have otherwise spent exploring the city on our short overnight trip to Vancouver. The breakfast itself isn't anything special. We came down around 8:30 and there were no more hash browns left. Yes it is a buffet, but for $27/head, unless it is included in your room i would just check out a local spot around the city rather than do breakfast here--Jam Cafe is a good option. There is hotel parking, however it is in limited supply and located a half block away in an underground public parkade (fee for that is $36/day) otherwise there is a private paid lot directly beside the hotel. I understand that times are tough for everyone, businesses and average Joe's alike, however it feels like everything here is nickel and dimed--from the $3 cartoned water on the nightstand, to the underwhelming breakfast, to the parking. For this much money spent on a hotel, i would expect a bit more hospitality.

Once again I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel…read more The front desk service is friendly and thorough. There's self parking in the garage or valet. There are 2 pools, one indoor and one out. The indoor had a hot tub and the gym. Inside they also had tap of still and sparkling water. On the way to the outdoor pool, there's a little nook with a free little library. At the valet, you can borrow bikes for up to 2 hours which is enough time to go around Stanley Park. Walking around the waterfront is nice and there's restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance. The only negative is that room could use some cosmetic touch ups.

The service was friendly, and the views were great! Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would happily come back.
