Hotel staff are super rude, condescending attitude upon check in. Rooms are nice though.
Excellent experience at the Highliner. Great staff, great location. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet, and had a great view! The balcony was a huge bonus. Got an excellent sleep. The restaurant downstairs had some really good food, both dinner and breakfast options - there was either a free continental breakfast, or a discounted hot breakfast restaurant-style sit down option. Parking is on the street, but there were more than enough spots. Would for sure stay here again next time I'm in Prince Rupert.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and staff were polite, however thin walls windows with broken seals that rattled all night and cleaning staff started too early
An old convention centre now partially used for at-risk housing. Dirty windows, no towels at check-in, pleasant but inexperienced reception, located in old part of city. Good breakfast, pleasant staff when avai.
It was a great stay. The room was clean, a bit dated, and comfortable, guest laundry facilities were very cheap, restaurant menu is decent, friendly staff and reasonable prices. The location is close to shopping and is a close walk to the brewery 😊.
The hotel is ideally located. The room was well stocked, clean and large. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was of adequate size with a tub/shower combination.
I’ll be back.
Fast, friendly check in. Clean, open lobby. The rooms are large. Needed to ask for towels. Nice balcony but no furniture in them. No temperature controls. (Thermostat)
I’ll be staying there again.
Close to dining options and shopping.
This hotel is under new ownership since 2024, and they have made some improvements. Older hotel but staff are very friendly and helpful, parking is easy, fantastic location! Would be nice to have a little store in hotel to buy little items, but it is a 5 minute walk away from a mall that has all that you need.
The views are amazing, new owners went above and beyond with my requests! Still getting some upgrades, but I will stay here again.
