Old rooms, detached from amenities, wonderful view
I will start by saying sunrise every morning over the bay was stunning, so the name did not disappoint. What did a bit was the condition of the unit and distance from amenities. It feels a bit like you’re staying at the forgotten motel. The hallway to the room is very musty smelling, doors are loud, blinds are yellowed and bent, manufactured walls are thin (so you hear the loud doors in the middle of the night). The hot water either takes 15 minutes or 2 to heat up. Our bathroom was very tiny, with no place to put toiletries - making tasks like brushing teeth and makeup pretty frustrating. I have a bit of a higher expectation that I’m not just paying (a lot) for a bed, but a place that’s enjoyable to relax in. The Bluenose Inn has the hot coffee, pools, and lounge, but honestly after a long day of hiking in the park and hiking back up to the room, we never made that last hike to the “real” hotel. It felt too far to enjoy, which was a huge bummer. We only saw staff members checking in and checking out. It just felt very isolated, and again, not my expectation staying at a hotel. The positives are that there’s reserved parking, downtown is very close, and housekeeping really did keep the place very clean and nice. I think next time we’d be far happier at the Bluenose. This place feels like a lot of love went into it at one point, and I hope that love and attention comes back in the update it deserves.
