Urinal with porthole out to the Marina. Big tv and a couch and friendly locals watching sports. Marina is it's own community.

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.

Would definitely recommend.

I have already left a review on Google but I felt like it was my duty to really expand on it here…read more This place is absolutely TERRIBLE. We showed up for our reservation with a party of 6 and there was no one at the desk - just a sign that said that there was no receptionist and to call a number. But lo and behold, when you call the number it just rings a cell phone on the front desk! Waited for an hour before a "manager" showed up. His first question was "what time is it?" before attempting the most half-hearted of half-assed attempts to assauge the many angry guests in the lobby. At some point he told all of us that the rooms weren't ready, they won't be ready any time soon, and that it is what it is. Did I mention he reeked of alcohol? After about 10 minutes he seemed he had enough of this whole ordeal and sped off on his golf cart. I counted at least 4-5 other groups, each with probably worse stories than ours. Showed up on time to their reservation, no one responding to them for hours, before an aggressive and confrontational man did. A lady, Erica, finally showed up to try and fix everything that had happened, but you could already see how far south things had gone. The only phone line was being left unmonitored for the entire day (a busy Saturday weekend). Guestrooms that you could literally just walk into, in various states of disrepair, some having been clearly left for multiple days with garbage piling up into the corners. Erica told us her partner, the owners nephew, was coming over to remedy the situation - but that it would still take another 2-3 hours. Erica eventually managed to get us some bedsheets and toiletries. But even after we personally lined all the beds and threw out all the garbage, it was still way too gross to sleep in. So we left. Got back on the ferry, cancelled a weekend trip and just - left. It's crazy. You pay $300+ a night for a room and you get service worse than a dive motel. I'm sorry but avoid avoid avoid. We spoke to multiple people who had come by who all voiced their concern that management had gone extremely south. Owners, if you're reading this - take control of your business before its too late. And Erica, bless your heart - but run far far away from this, for your own sake.

The location is super. Your view is a quiet marina and the mountains and ocean surrounding. See my photo. We got our exercise walking up and down the stairs several times a day to chill on the dock and relax. The hotel rents boats and kayaks but we didn't partake this time. Our room was very spacious and was clean. The king bed was comfy and there was lots of room for luggage. The bathroom was big too and seems fairly recently reno'd. There is a jetted bathtub but unfortunately the night we tried to use it we ran out of hot water before it could fill. The kitchen has a full sized fridge and dishwasher but isn't fully stocked. For example, there were no paper towels, recycling bin, or ice or ice cube tray. We had to buy ice from a bar around the way. The BBQ worked very well! The room was somewhat dated in terms of decor, especially for the price, I would expect a bit more. We used the hot tub daily. The sun deck area has a beautiful view but sadly, only 2 lounge chairs on their last legs. As we treated the trip as "glamping" this was not a huge bother but those expecting a 5 star resort should lower their expectations. Overall, I would return as the setting and vacation was enjoyable for us and we felt very comfortable at the resort. I could have used another day!

We did not have breakfast here as we were hurrying to our next destination. Give yourself more time than expected as there was a line when we were checking out around 9 am. There is free parking on site which is always very convenient, and pets are allowed here too. There is a pool with water slide and a hot tub. The place was packed with people, especially children since it was the last week of Spring break, There is also a gym here. Our room was surprisingly big. There was a sitting area with sofa and fireplace. There was also a microwave besides the usual fridge and coffee maker. No bottled water. The bathroom was equally spacious with a big bath tub and seating area. You could fit two in it. Same with the separate shower area. I do not understand why there are showerheads on both ends though, Maybe to save time if you are there with a partner to shower? Checking in and out was quite a breeze. No issue on that. Free wifi, not spotty at all.

For the price we paid, no complains. The inn is listed as 3 stars. The staff was very friendly…read more Inside was ok. The inn was clean. It is definitely not fancy. There is a pool and looking inside the pool, it looks clean and decent. The bathroom is a good size and is quite spacious. I am surprised that the rooms in the inn wasn't too hot. I think it helps when it is surrounded by lots of trees/greens. Yes there is no air conditioning in the rooms but they do provide a fan. One thing that surprised me was that there isn't a lot of cars parked in the parking lot but the inn itself was sold out and there are no frequency. Location wise is pretty good. It is about 15 mins walk to the seawall/Gibson Landing area. Drive to the ferry is about 15 mins. The room we stayed in came with a microwave, toaster oven, fridge, sink and two stove burners (that we didn't expect). Cutleries and plates are provided as well. The bed was not bad. It was comfy. Yes there is a TV in the room. I believe there are some long term tenants living in the inn and some short terms as well. We stayed here for 4 nights. Overall it was ok. This is a family ran business. I am guessing the family lives here. It was cute to see pet birds in a cage in the front. There is no room service here. If you requires towel or extra toiletries, you will need to request that. Overall, it was ok.

The guy on graveyard was super awesome. He came to the front desk right away at close to midnight. He offered $105 for a room with a queen bed and gave us directions to the room, walking us halfway there. Our room came with a kitchenette, and I learned all rooms here do. Hardwood floors with tile at the entry and bath. Room was clean, although a little rough around the edges. Some paint, replace the burnt out light bulbs and small repairs and it would be perfect. Nothing to complain about as we could still see in the bath. Bed was quite comfortable. We slept like logs. Toilitries provided were just shampoo, conditioner and bar soap but again, nothing to complain about for a small place and the price. Blow dryer provided but no hot air and after 15 minutes of trying to blow dry my short hair, I gave up. They have an outdoor pool, free wifi, free parking and some rooms have fireplaces. We didn't try out the pool. Close to the ferry and definitely would stay here again.
