This is a historic building built in 1912 with many very old amenities mixed with a few more modern ones, tastefully integrated with the old. The historic nature of the hotel was an experience in itself. The elevator, I was told, was the first in BC, and had manually closing inner and outer doors. The cables, however, looked much newer and safer. The suite itself was large with separate bedroom, living room and kitchen, also with a bathroom with an ancient deep bathtub on clawed legs and a toilet with an early 20th century tank. The two main rooms had overhead ceiling fans and lights, and the bed was very comfortable. Although there was no coffee provided, there was a complimentary bottle of Okanagan wine. The electrical outlets like most older hotels were few and far between, but they were updated to three-prong plugs. I need one in the bedroom for a CPAP machine, and only found it when I pulled out the bed to access the wall underneath it. The Skytrain was literally right outside the window and the trains were constant. For some people this would be a problem, but it didn't bother me as I grew up around trains. Overall, I very much enjoyed this hotel, but it's not for everybody and certainly not for those wanting very modern amenities.
