Hidden gem
This was one of our three stop for our family vacation and the best part of our stay. The hotel at first glance was worrying however the hotel was amazing. The staff were nice and easy going, they gave ideas of places to visit while in town. The room was pet friendly and great. The room was clean, large, and quiet.

The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! And the view of Stuart Lake was fantastic! The internet was very slow, I ended up hot spotting off my phone most of my stay. And there are very limited dining options, and the ones that are there close early in the evening. But overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it!

Expensive!
I was blown away by how expensive it was to have two beds! One bed was $150 and then 2 beds being 270! I’ll never stay here again.

I had a nice experience here. Third floor has wonderful views of Stuart Lake. Staff are outstanding and so helpful. King's cafe next to the hotel has a nice breakfast menu, and St. James Restaurant has decent but expensive Chinese cuisine; it closes earlier than you might think. There is a Subway Cafe a few minutes walk from the hotel, and there is a Save On grocery store a little past the Subway. I grew up in Fort St. James; The View is definitely not the old Fort St. James Hotel.
