Shawnigan Lake Museum

The breakfast was atrocious! The wait staff did not acknowledge us and the food was terrible. 30$ for a buffet with barely edible food. Aside from the awful restaurant the hotel was lovely and the staff was amazing. Just wish we skipped the breakfast and got McDonald’s. The restaurant is the only thing that prompted me to not give a full 5 stars.

Seems like it would have been a nice place when it first opened, but there were a ton of issues with the room. Doors that don’t close properly, missing cupboard handles, duct tape on the floor, shoddy construction work all around which is really starting to show. The coffee was also a major disappointment. They have good beans on offer from a local roaster, but the supplies to make the coffee (coffee maker and pour-over set) aren’t up to the task. The coffee maker especially was nearly impossible to figure out and constantly came out watery and bitter. On the plus side, communication with the staff was alright, in-suite laundry was a nice touch, and the gym was well equipped enough for a short stay. I would recommend staying somewhere else in the area given the price.

Lovely staff, good location, yummy breakfast
