I stayed one day at the Gibsons Landing Inn on a recent business trip to the area…read more I found them on Expedia.com which provided pictures of the Inn including the rooms and an overview of their offerings. Let first say that what was written on Expedia and the photos were 100% accurate. It's a lovely Inn/hotel...the kitchenette was very big, with nearly a regular size refrigerator. My first thought was this room was bigger than my first studio apartment (many years ago). The bed and pillows were super comfortable. The room was also appointed with a couch, a table with two chairs, lots of closet space and a TV. They provided free WiFi which was mostly reliable and like the big hotels squeeze bottles of lovely scented shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the spacious shower. What the Inn has in spades is serenity...there was hardly any outside noise...if the sliding glass door(to the patio) is closed, you get relative silence...the AC provided me with just enough white noise to be a comfort. If you have them open you'll hear the ocean and the birds more than the cars...very lovely! Lastly, it's within walking distance of the harbor and "Main Street" of Gibsons including a cultural museum, an outdoor piano, as well as some of the bars and restaurants of Gibsons. My POV of hotels is colored by the fact that I'm a 9yr Hilton Diamond member and there are certain amenities that I've come to consider as a given that is somewhat jarring when they aren't available like at this Inn. 3 examples: -no iron or ironing board-a business person like me needs an iron and ironing board. -the limited amount of outlets. I used outlets on every part of the room to charge my watch, two cell phones and computer. -no black out curtains, while the blinds offered privacy...they couldn't block out the light (natural or otherwise). I didn't bring my eye mask because I just take it as a given at Hilton hotels they have blackout curtains. Lucky for me I was too tired for it to matter. Lastly, every interaction was done electronically. There is no "front desk" and there isn't a breakfast area (that I was aware of) so once you're check in, you're on your own. It's the perfect place for a movie star (under an assumed name) to stay...no one will see you come and go. The Gibsons Landing Inn is a modern, well appointed and lovely hotel/motel/Inn. More fitted for the needs of the tourists to the area than a typical business person. Still knowing what I know, I'll probably be back next time Im in the area.

The best things are the courtyard garden - the gazebo is a great place to bliss out for a few minutes. And the hot tub is divine - surrounded by plants and flowers rather than artificial light.

I can see why Cypress Mountain is known as one of the best snowshoeing destinations in Vancouver…read more There are many beautiful trails to choose from in the daytime and they offer a nice brightly lit evening snowshoe experience too. Follow the signage to "Nordic" and that's the area with ticket office and rentals for cross country skiing and snowshoeing fun! It has a diverse range of trails suitable for beginners and experienced hikers. Snowshoe rentals are available till 3:30pm for day time snowshoeing and just take note to return rentals by 4:30pm as they start night time tickets and rentals at 5pm. If you didn't pack foods, it's quite easy to grab a drink or a bite at their Nordic Cafe or at the Lodge. Five stars for their guest services - i was very impressed by the genuine effort they put in to help locate lost item for guests. Cypress is roughly 30-minute drive from downtown Vancouver (check Google map for traffic congestion or delays) and about 10 to 15 minutes drive from West Vancouver and North Vancouver.

They tell you to not hold your phone. Two people lost their caps. They tell you to release the brake and to speed up but I think you do need to slow down during the turns and bumps. Felt like I almost fell out at those times. It was a fun experience. Line was short at 10:30am. Much longer on the second ride down at around 11:30am.

Please be warn if you have a fear of heights. My friend and I upload with another set of friends and experienced the ride up. During the right, the gondola came to a complete stop for less than a minute. But it was windy and the gondola swung back and forth. It was a bit scary, but quickly the track continued a the gondola continued to ascent to the submit. At the top, there is the suspension bridge. Which is really nice. It gives a nice view of the submit lodge. There are small hikes around the place and the views from those hikes are magnificent. Once you're done with your hikes, you can venture inside the submit lodge. Inside is a good selection of food options.

Sea to Sky Gondola is one of those activities where you feel like it should be more novel than…read moreanything else. You hear the ride up and down is only 10 minutes and you start to wonder if the money spent is worth it. But then as you ascend up the mountain and look all around you in this beautifully clear and clean gondola, the lake below is pristine. The mountains around you barely hide the clouds as they lazily drift by. The trees envelop you with all their greenery. All of this is happening in these mere 10 minutes. However, once you arrive up top and get off the gondola a large selection of different adventures await you. You could warm yourself up at the visitor centre just right of the gondolas where you can get some hot food and look out through its huge glass windows out into the wilderness. You could also walk outside said visitor centre and onto the suspension bridge. It looks daunting at first, but it isn't too long and you get some wonderful photos from it. There are also several different hikes located all throughout the area with varying degrees of difficulty. The one just on the other side of the suspension bridge is an easy loop hike you can do under ten minutes with astounding moments of forest bathing. You can also go and ski or tube when there is snow. When you go with a tour package, usually you only have about an hour and a half of time up here, but if you're on your own this could easily be a 3-4 hour excursion. Those the price might be steep for some to utilize the gondolas, if you decide to make a day trip out of this visit it'll be worth the money to get the views, air, and experience that is Sea to Sky Gondola.

For the price we paid, no complains. The inn is listed as 3 stars. The staff was very friendly…read more Inside was ok. The inn was clean. It is definitely not fancy. There is a pool and looking inside the pool, it looks clean and decent. The bathroom is a good size and is quite spacious. I am surprised that the rooms in the inn wasn't too hot. I think it helps when it is surrounded by lots of trees/greens. Yes there is no air conditioning in the rooms but they do provide a fan. One thing that surprised me was that there isn't a lot of cars parked in the parking lot but the inn itself was sold out and there are no frequency. Location wise is pretty good. It is about 15 mins walk to the seawall/Gibson Landing area. Drive to the ferry is about 15 mins. The room we stayed in came with a microwave, toaster oven, fridge, sink and two stove burners (that we didn't expect). Cutleries and plates are provided as well. The bed was not bad. It was comfy. Yes there is a TV in the room. I believe there are some long term tenants living in the inn and some short terms as well. We stayed here for 4 nights. Overall it was ok. This is a family ran business. I am guessing the family lives here. It was cute to see pet birds in a cage in the front. There is no room service here. If you requires towel or extra toiletries, you will need to request that. Overall, it was ok.

The guy on graveyard was super awesome. He came to the front desk right away at close to midnight. He offered $105 for a room with a queen bed and gave us directions to the room, walking us halfway there. Our room came with a kitchenette, and I learned all rooms here do. Hardwood floors with tile at the entry and bath. Room was clean, although a little rough around the edges. Some paint, replace the burnt out light bulbs and small repairs and it would be perfect. Nothing to complain about as we could still see in the bath. Bed was quite comfortable. We slept like logs. Toilitries provided were just shampoo, conditioner and bar soap but again, nothing to complain about for a small place and the price. Blow dryer provided but no hot air and after 15 minutes of trying to blow dry my short hair, I gave up. They have an outdoor pool, free wifi, free parking and some rooms have fireplaces. We didn't try out the pool. Close to the ferry and definitely would stay here again.
