This modern hotel with contemporary decor is just a three-minute drive from the airport and four minutes from the Trans-Canada Highway. With a pool, waterslide, and hot tub, it's a favored overnight stop for all ages, even local "staycationing" families. The on-site restaurant, Amelia's, serves until midnight.
Half the rooms in this popular downtown convention hotel overlook the harbor; the others look out on the city but tend to be quieter (rooms facing New Gower Street have the best views). All are comfortable and modern, if a bit generic in style. The staff is friendly and the lobby is bright, with foliage, mahogany trim, and polished brass. The restaurant, Pinnacle, serves steak and seafood, but many guests prefer to check out the plethora of restaurants nearby.
In the core of downtown, directly overlooking the harbor, this hotel has friendly staffers who immediately flash welcoming smiles when you enter the tiled, sand-color lobby. The five floors of rooms are clean and comfortable. The on-site restaurant, The Little Sparo, offers an Italian menu and has a splendid view.
