Renovations Phase One

Out with the Old

Deluxe Corner Room, After

Spring of 2013, and we are set to start the renovations.  The first phase starts with the section of the hotel that was built in 1939 and is located on the corner of Hall & Vernon Street.
 
The vision was simple; stylish rooms with amenities for the business person travelling and at an affordable price.
 





The corner unit, pictured here, is one of our most popular rooms.  It is located in the corner of the building overlooking the lake.  The room now features an electric fireplace (you can even change the colour of the flame!), built in heat and air conditioning unit, large wall mounted television, simple furnishings, tiled bathroom with a rain forest shower!  Extra amenities include: USB Ports, alarm clock, iron/ironing board, hair dryer and of course, free wireless internet.

New Rain Forest Bathroom

With a new concept, Pick Your Rate $49  ~  $79  ~  $99, we have a room for every budget.  Phase one complete, we can offer our guests 8 new rooms that have been completely renovated and in 3 different styles:  Deluxe, Economy, or Budget.

Deluxe:  Choice of King, Queen or 2 double beds

Economy:  Choice of Queen or Double/Twin Bunk bed style

Budget:  Choice of Double/Twin Bunk or Twin/Twin Bunk

Social Media Overload

Where does one even begin?


Like any new project, you start off enthusiastic and full of brilliant ideas, and then reality sets in and you realize you were not quite prepared for what you started.


With re-branding of The Adventure Hotel, it is almost like starting a new business.  You must start from the beginning: create a Facebook account, get that Twitter tweeting, Google + needs to be claimed, set up email accounts, and maintain the website of course.  But oops, forgot something, change everything from the old name of The New Grand Hotel over to The Adventure Hotel.


Pretty soon the feeling of "what was I thinking?!" sets in.  You can not let this scare you though, you must power through because you know that in the end, all of the work will be worth the effort you put into it.

Make a plan, stick to it, don't get distracted by social pressure to join everything, and keep your friends close.

Historic Nelson Building Gets A New Look

The Adventure Hotel, formerly known as The New Grand Hotel

The Adventure Hotel welcomed in the new year with a big bang.  Not only did we change the name of this historical business, but with the 100th birthday, we gave the old girl a new look.

Changes started in Spring of 2013 with what would turn into a 3 phase plan.  Two phases under our belts, the outcome is more than we expected.  The feedback from not only our guests, but the general public that have come in to have a peek have been overwhelming, to say the least.

We invite you to join us in the journey as we will be showing what we were and what we have become...

Expect an Avalanche of Change
