We stayed at the Highliner for four nights, and found the experience very positive. The new owners have made several improvements to the facility including room and menu upgrades. Our room was bright and cheerful with a beautiful wall-to-ceiling view of the city and water. The bed was comfortable, and I liked that I could control the room temperature easily. The food was very good, and the staff extremely helpful and friendly. There is an airport shuttle bus depot right in the hotel, which was an added bonus. I would recommend this hotel.
I stayed at the Highliner while visiting family and had a wonderful experience. Hotel staff was very friendly and very helpful; rooms have been recently updated and were very comfortable; location is ideal; and the restaurant food was exceptional. I would definitely stay here again.
I recently stated at this hotel. Mehak was excellent during checkin and checkout, she also helped us with various request during our stay. I also met Karen during my checkout and she was amazing. The customer service was excellent, I will definitely stay there on my next stay trip to Prince Rupert.
Great location. The ferry that is included in the Vancouver flight takes you directly to the Highliner Hotel - convenient. Really enjoyed the breakfast but would have liked it to be extended to 10am rather than 9am. Staff was very pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Great place to stay in Prince Rupert. Pet friendly and easy access to the ferry terminal. Can easily walk to restaurants.
It was clean, quiet, promptly cleaned. The room was basic with no frills. The breakfast provided was abundant with every choice desired. Eggs, sausage, potatoes, waffles, oats, cold cereals toast etc….. decent balcony but nothing to relax on and enjoy the view. Perhaps due to the moisture.
Booked through Expedia. Getting there late, there was no parking and very little light while trying to organize luggage to get in. Once inside it was clean and staff was friendly. The room was in fairly good condition but had cleaning supplies left behind. Outdoor view was over their own roof and a distant view of the ocean. Breakfast was free?… it did look to have more options if you were willing to pay. it wasn’t horrible but could definitely be better. Checking out was easy and quick
Recently stayed here for a family function. Ocean view room was clean, senic and I had zero issues. I really enjoyed the ocean breeze coming in the patio door. Took advantage of the trolley tour based out of the Hotel. Highly recommend this tour to all. Driver/tour guide was great and I learned more than I expected.
Set in a 17-storey building, this modest conference hotel is across the street from the harbour, 3.1 km from the Prince Rupert Ferry Dock and 10.9 km from Prince Rupert Airport.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in British Columbia. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
