Top Vancouver Island Hotel Reviews
Hotel Feng, BW Signature Collection
"Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable and the air conditioning was spot on. The breakfast had many choices and was delicious. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. I did have a problem with the ecological policy of the hotel. In the bathroom there was the explanation about saving water and protecting the environment. Unfortunately, in other areas of the hotel there was no "green policy" evident. The toiletries provided were in very very small plastic bottles which are discarded after one use. We already have too much plastic waste in our environment. Surely large dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and body wash could reduce the amount of plastics being discarded. Also, many hotels use real plates, cups, glasses and cutlery in the dining area as well as in the rooms. Single use plastics (the cutlery) are a hazard to the environment and the paper plates and cups should have been recycled, not just dumped into one garbage can. It is important that we take care of our land in order for the next generation to enjoy our beautiful natural spaces. Reduce, reuse and recycle are the three Rs we should all be practising every day. Kathryn Heyes"
