Agneta from North Vancouver, BC CA stayed on January 15, 2004

"We noticed dust on the hall tables and the windows in the Bengal Lounge were very dirty - a surprise. Our room was lovely and we were delighted to be upgraded to a room with a view. Staff were friendly everywhere and the rooms are lovely. Thank you. The breakfast staff at Kiplings was especially friendly and we had a lovely time."

Marcella from Chugiak, AK US stayed on October 26, 2003

"sSeveral of our children gave us this stay as a surprise 40th wedding anniversary gift. The person in charge of our visit, Salam Guenette, was excellent. Thank you for the "best" anniversary place to stay. I plan to visit again, it was so nice! We so enjoyed the comfortable rooms that were a pleasure to be in and the housekeeping was faultless! Thank you for the time and trouble to make a really pleasurable experience for your guests. Everything was so nice. And we even came home laden with gifts from the Empress: tea, a tea trivet and a book that I said I'd like to buy, but lo and behold! I received it as a gift! Such hospitality! Tom and Terrie Kolean"
