Review by hotel critic
During my recent stay at Departure Bay Motel, I was astounded by the exceptional level of service that not only met but surpassed my high expectations. The staff went above and beyond by returning a forgotten hairbrush promptly, showcasing their attention to detail and genuine care for guests' needs. The heating in the room was perfect, providing a cozy environment to unwind after a day of exploration in the beautiful surroundings. The presence of free wi-fi in the rooms made it convenient for me to stay connected and share my stunning photos of the Canadian wilderness with ease.The provision of tea and coffee facilities added a homely touch, allowing me to relax and enjoy a hot beverage while admiring the somewhat ocean view from my room. The cleanliness of the room and the availability of free toiletries truly set Departure Bay Motel apart from other budget rate motels, making my stay both comfortable and refreshing. Despite not being a high-end establishment, the motel's dedication to cleanliness, friendliness, and comfort left a lasting impression on me. The convenient location near various dining options like the nearby Shanghai City Restaurant and accessibility to popular chains like Burger King and Pizza Hut within a short distance made dining choices effortless. The cozy setup and private parking area further added to the overall convenience, allowing for quick and hassle-free loading and unloading of my photography equipment. In conclusion, Departure Bay Motel exceeded all my stringent criteria, providing a delightful and memorable experience that I will undoubtedly cherish.
