Pacific Rim Visitors Centre Tours

Felt like staying at a youth hostel, brought back great memories! Huge common room with cooking area. Lots of private bathroom/showers. Found an excellent Mexican restaurant Gina’s walking distance. Close to ferry.

The entire staff (front desk, restaurant, housekeeping) were aware that we were there for my partner to rest and recover from a light stroke after released from the local hospital. It was my birthday during our stay, and front desk sent up a plate of Nanaimo bars for my bday; the kitchen knew he wasn't eating and made special effort to send up scrambled egg and ice cream for breakfast his first day; housekeeping asked me each day when he would be out for return testing at hospital and cleaned our room while he was gone so she wouldn't disturb his napping. I was stunned by such kind, thoughtful personal attention we received. My partner was able to sleep throughout the day and enjoyed the gorgeous harbor view, watching the seaplanes, water taxis and yachts come and go whenever he awoke. This was a medical emergency/resort recovery experience, and we are deeply grateful for the caring service we received.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Temperance Hotel. The ambience of the space was lovely, thoughtfully designed and incorporated some of the original materials of the original interior. It was a peaceful place to stay, right in the heart of the town. We would definitely stay there again.
