Nice staff, the Inn is very quirky and full of character. The bar is loud at night but they provide you with ear plugs in case you don't appreciate the noise. The room is small, but nice, our bed was comfortable and they allowed our dog! The only complaint that we had was that there is no air conditioning in the rooms and we were there during 37° heat...unfortunately we had to find a new place to stay because of this. Not the owners fault and we would totally recommend it to someone who doesn't mind a bit of noise and who was going on a cooler day.

The room we got looked NOTHING like the room photos on google. Hair on towels and on the bed. Were originally told there was no housekeeper to come remake the bed and then one suddenly showed up and was friendly. There are no bathrooms in the room, only common bathrooms and showers down the hall. Rooms are sweltering hot but a fan was included. Very hard to find the entrance for the hotel and lock sticks to our room. Would not stay here again!

We really enjoy visiting the bar at the Blue Marlin. Super friendly and welcoming people, good draft, and the food is REALLY good, with VERY generous portions! We haven't had occasion to stay in the rooms, but if the effort made by the staff in the bar and kitchen is any indicator, I'm sure they're a good bet, and we did read that they were recently updated. Certainly a hidden gem, in our opinion!

Nice old hotel that's had a decent upgrade however never finished. In the bathroom the shower needs silicone, water actually runs out the corners and across the bathroom floor. No fan in bathroom aswell. Could be cute if they finished it. Check out at 9 do to Covid to allow extra cleaning, okay but what about the hair in the corners and coffee rings on the dresser state's other wise. Very nice lady checked us in.

This is the only review I have ever written and I feel compelled to share my experience because it was so outstanding.By a sequence of unusual circumstances I ended up staying here 8 months straight when we thought the world was ending one year ago. I had only intended to stay a short time but the hospitality, fantastic cooking , a caring and flexible staff kept me until I bought a house that is right near one of the staff members'. In addition to the excellent service they provide their customers, the staff have gone (very far) out of their way to support folks who live with disAbilities in the community who are navigating the current pandemic and associated restrictions. I would emphasize that they are doing so without virtue signaling on social media or painting a distorted or narcissistic veneer - so refreshing to see.The Blue Marlin isn't the Empress or Hotel Vancouver and it is neither positioning itself nor attempting to present as such. It is however, what I would consider to be the real deal" in terms of the good old fashioned without a hint of pretense. I loved every moment of it and would not hesitate to either return or send folks their way. I wish more places could be like the Blue Marlin and I hope they can keep the spirit alive as long as possible.If you are one who values authenticity and seeks to support a business that is genuinely integrated and invested into the community then the Blue Marlin would be at the top of your list. Bottom line is that if we don't support qualities that engender businesses such as these

booked through AirBnB simple and easy. Building has that old feel to it but the room was completely modernised. Of our 4 day trek this was the best room. The building has a hostel vibe to it and the room was perfect for the price. The hotel is on the busy interesection" ear plugs are supplied but not needed"

Very clean, quiet comfortable room. Surprisingly quiet since it's on top of karaoke bar. They provide ear plugs, but we didn't need them. Super comfy king bed, walk in shower.Also, really good breakfast!Highly recommend!

Great little local bar. Small and not many t.v.s which is a bonus. Has a pool table. Really friendly and great service! Caesar was tasty!

Unacceptable. No chair, dirty common room. Our room smelled bad. No cooking. No where to hang clothes. Nothing! Really noisy, music all night and the bar was closed (it was Christmas!). The bed was lumpy and soft. It too at least 5 minutes for the water to be warm (not hot!). All in all a big disappointment.

Fantastic place for a family stay over. Suite was quiet, well equipped and very clean. Comes with spacious kitchen, dining, appliances, cutlery, large dining and 2 nice size bedrooms. Excellent location and building has restaurants and pub too. Highly recommended!
