10/10 Excellent

The hotel is new construction and is very clean with a contemporary decor. The bed and pillows were the most comfortable I have ever used in a hotel! The bathroom had a nice walk in shower with a glass door. Parking was free and easy and the parking lot was well-lit. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was also free and had lots of good options. The location of the hotel is in a commercial type area but still felt very safe. Would definitely recommend and would stay there...

The Maritime Inn

10/10 Excellent

It is a really cool and unique small boutique hotel. The rooms are small but enough room for 2 people. I loved the way it was decorated and set up to give you just what's needed for your stay. Very clean, great and polite staff who gave us ideas about where to have breakfast, directions, etc. It's located downtown and is walkable to shops, restaurants, the harbor, etc. Continental breakfast. Our room had a small balcony facing the harbor. Very quaint and just a great little getaway spot.

View of the back of a gas station, a McDonald’s and a liquor store…also very close to the freeway. All seems a bit sketch but really for Parkland wasn’t bad at all. Felt oddly safe. Very new and clean. My only complaint is staff checked everyone else but me and my party two hours early but made us come back. Didn’t seem to have authority to move us to a room that was ready and no willingness to even look and see. The rest was fine.
