I stayed a few nights here. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, and it was affordable and I had a very comfortable stay. My room was clean, it was quiet and the bed was comfortable and I was well rested. Staff were helpful with assisting with questions about naerby attractions, and they also provide a discount when dining at their restaurant downstairs. I would recommend staying here while in Squamish.

We dined in recently at the Brewing Company and enjoyed the Daily Soup (home made vegetable), Fish and Chips and the Classic Burger. The ambiance in the restaurant was wonderful and we expect the views and the patio would be amazing in the Summer! So, looking forward to a Summer visit. We also enjoyed the Sky Pilot Pale Ale! Our Server was Alex and was very helpful, and professional. All in all a wonderful experience and the location is a bit of a hidden gem!

We ordered the daily soup and it was really creamy and comforting, perfect for a winter evening. We also tried the dinner special for $30, which included a lamb shank. The lamb was very good, tender, and full of flavor. I personally would have loved a bit more sauce, but overall it was smooth and delicious. The service was excellent — our waiter was great and made the best recommendation for the drink. I had the black ale, and it was very tasty and clearly good quality. Overall, a really pleasant experience with great food and service.

I stayed and ate at the Inn one night in January in between ski days. I was extremely tired and hungry and happy to have a place to shower, eat, and pass out. The positives, the location is calm and quiet (at least mid-week) and parking was relatively easy. The front desk was kind and efficient, and the gentleman serving at the bar and restaurant was superb. The bed was comfortable, and the room was cute, a mix of old charm and new amenities. For example, some cast iron fittings and old furniture re-done to suit the needs of today. There were plenty of plugs to charge stuff and overall I slept well and woke up rested. The AC/Heat was very efficient, though a bit loud, but that's what you get in almost any hotel room in the world, so it really didn't bother me. I LOVED the little sitting nook by the window overlooking the marina, superbly charming. As to the food, The beer was great! I had three beers I think (one of the advantages of staying AT the brewery). And they were all awesome. Yes the building does smell like a brewery, it's a brewery. Personally, I love it! The not so good, it's an old building, the walls are thin, and when the neighbors came back after a night of being out, they woke me up. They also woke me up in the morning. But the hotel has a quiet hour policy, so that's something. Anyway, it is what it is, this wasn't a huge bother, but others that may be more sensitive should be aware. Overall, I think there's a lack of attention to the property for whatever reason. For example, the high pitched squealing from the shower head, it's been mentioned in another review here from some time in the past. So, apparently they haven't fixed it. I've never considered wearing ear plugs while showering. I didn't measure it but it had to be in the "harmful to ears" range of loud. Imagine someone blowing a whistle right in your ear while you're trying to shower. This was extremely unpleasant. One of my goals was a good shower. I would not shower here again, it's just unpleasant! The food. My sandwich came out with the bun burnt in the middle. I'm not talking about a heavy char, or maybe "toasted a bit. too much", or something like that. Like, burnt, to a crisp, like eating charcoal from a fire pit burnt. It's all I could taste for about 2 hours after the meal. Now, it's on me that I didn't track down the super friendly and helpful waiter and tell him, but after dropping off the Sammy, I started devouring it like a deranged animal, because I was starving from a really, really long day. To say I was hungry is an understatement. At my first bite of the char burnt area of the bun, I stopped, unfortunately no staff was around. Then I waited for a bit, no one ever actually checked on me. So my options where to get up and go, track someone down, have a conversation, then have my food taken away and wait for it to be remade, and possibly piss off the kitchen staff, or just eat char-burnt-charcoal food. I guess I could've peeled the bun off and just ate the good stuff. I was hungry... I wasn't really thinking straight. I debated leaving a review, but after reflection, I find it very difficult to believe that a person could have assembled that sandwich and not realized the bun is completely burnt to a charcoal, like serving that to someone. Just rude. I haven't been here in a few years, and the beer is super good, and hopefully this place can just work on doing better, over time, and improving their game, that would be great.
