My husband and I were planning to originally camp at Klahanie Campground, but due to an unexpected storm that rolled in a week before our trip, we cancelled and quickly booked this place. We have no regrets!!
First, the location is excellent. It's right in downtown Squamish! We were able to drive a couple minutes to the beach lookout, walk to Howe Sound Brewing (or you can drive, if you want), down the street from Climb On store and grocery store, 10-15 minutes away from Shannon Falls and Murrin Park, 5 minutes from Smoke Bluffs, and 10 minutes from the Chief. It's right next to this nice liquor store, too. We never felt unsafe in this area. It seems like everyone is really friendly here.
We met Jared and some of the housekeeping ladies. All were very nice! Jared was incredibly helpful and friendly. He recommended SO many things to do: Alice Lakes, Garibaldi, Chief hikes, Shannon Falls hikes/gondola, Murrin Park, some scenic lookouts, and places to eat.
His wife was super friendly as well. Laundry soap is $1, but we only had a $2 coin, so she gave it to us free because she didn't have change.
Our room was neat, simple and clean.
We had a window view of the Chief.
There's a good sized fridge and microwave.
Two fans, if needed (we never used it).
Tv.
Wifi.
Laundry drums were huge, which was convenient to do one load.
Soda machine and dvds for borrowing.
**Stairs only to get up to your rooms. We didn't mind at all, but just making a note for people who have a hard time walking up stairs.**
**Unfortunately, our room was next to the kitchen exhaust from the Ruddy Duck. We didn't mind though and closed the windows.**
**No breakfast/continental breakfast**
The reason why I'm giving this place 5 stars is because it exceeds our expectations of places we generally stay at. We're used to staying in dirt cheap places that are generally 2 stars on our climbing trips. We knew that this was an old building and neighboring a pub, so we were prepared and brought earplugs :P
If you're looking to book in Squamish without paying a fortune, stay here. But, don't have high expectations like it's the Ritz. We cannot complain that we had a nice roof over our heads from the wet weather for $50/night.
Thanks, guys, we'll be back next time for sure! read more
