The overall cleanliness of the hotel was poor including the elevator, hallways, rooms, and dining areas. The room was very large with a nice balcony and a view of the ocea, but the room would greatly benefit from having at least one more mirror besides just the one in the bathroom. There is also plenty of space for additional bedside tables on the outside of each bed, which would be nice. When we arrived we immediately noticed that our floors had not been cleaned. When we went to get into bed we discovered that it had already been slept in, and we had to phone the front desk to have our sheets changed while we waited in the hallway at 11:00 at night. There was construction happening in a room down the hallway - the shop vac and other Construction materials and garbage were left in the hallway. it could have easily been left in the room undergoing the construction with the door shut, but it was left in the hallway and the door to the room under construction was left open for at least an entire day and night. In addition to that, a door to the room containing the open laundry chute was left open. We were on the 8th floor. We closed that door ourselves as we felt it was a major safety concern. The free breakfast was simply mediocre. It contained eggs sausage potatoes and waffles and cereal. There was no fruit or yogurt or juice. The floors were dirty and the walls could all use a wipe down. The elevators and hallway walls were all grubby and due for a wipedown as well.

Excellent experience at the Highliner. Great staff, great location. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet, and had a great view! The balcony was a huge bonus. Got an excellent sleep. The restaurant downstairs had some really good food, both dinner and breakfast options - there was either a free continental breakfast, or a discounted hot breakfast restaurant-style sit down option. Parking is on the street, but there were more than enough spots. Would for sure stay here again next time I'm in Prince Rupert.

Time to upgrade folks

Building is in need of a refresh. Shows very little pride in itself. No energy. Takes away from the experience. Dining room has no ambiance.

I loved the Ocean view. But the parking area NEEDS to be cleaned up and better accessible. The parking across the street only had one narrow in and out opening and the grass was tall, gravel was uneven. If it is not your parking lot why direct me to park there? Other than that my stay was good.

Arrived Friday mid day -exterior and entrance of building very old and run down Asked about secure parking, "that was reserved for tenants who live here" Went up to our room. As we were there for a wedding, we needed to iron clothes. Ironing board, but no iron. Called the desk. And clerk said she would have one brought up. It was. We wanted a drink with ice. But there was no ice bucket. Another trip to the desk. Given a small ice bucket. Told not to drink the ice cubes, because of a "boil advisor" since Aug 6, it was now mid Sept. 1 small 500 ml bottle provided. We then went and purchased a $3 4l bottle. Asked for more coffee for the room and paper to go with the pen. The room was warm and stuffy, tried to find the AC. Was told none of the rooms has AC, however Was provided a fan for the room. We thought we'd like to watch TV. It had worked, then stopped. Possibly it was the batteries in the remote. But it wasn't. By then it was late at night and no one available to fix the TV. A new clerk, said she noticed we had had issues and offered to move us. That was so kind. Up to 7th floor with ocean view. It was spacious and appeared cleaner. Up in the morning, saying well at least the bed was clean. Went to make the bed and the comforter had stains on the top and bottom of the comforter. Went to have a shower, almost all dispensers were empty. Decided to go for breakfast , there was a live milipede on the plate for the serving spoon. 😞 SO MUCH WRONG HERE

The staff were really friendly and professional. The breakfasts were excellent and again the servers were excellent. The room was clean and adequate, bathroom catered to showers, but was good size. Bars of soap would be nice. The view of the harbour from our room was very nice and I appreciated that the hotel gave us the upgrade. We would stay there again
