“Highliner Hotel's central location in Prince Rupert puts guests within walking distance of waterfront attractions, though some aspects require attention. As the tallest building north of Vancouver, the views are certainly a selling point, particularly from the penthouse-an ideal rental for larger events. While pet-friendly policies and event spaces are valuable, some reports suggest that interior conditions do not consistently match its potential.”
