Prince George, Accommodation
I was fortunate enough to be taken on a tour of the wonderful Coast Inn of the North Hotel on Thursday and having lived in Prince George my whole life I have very rarely seen any of the hotel's numerous features. I was very surprised with what the hotel had to offer. From Luxury jacuzzi rooms to more economical minded comfort rooms, the Coast Inn offers 155 rooms that suit every guests needs. Within the hotel there are also several conveniences that provide a unique experience for each visitor as well as three dining options. I've only been able to have dinner at one of these options and have to say that the Shogun is an amazing place to enjoy Japanese cuisine.

Prince George, Accommodation
Purden Lake Resort is a great stop for those heading along Highway 16 East from Prince George. While it is a resort with campsites, tenting and cabins, it also has a really awesome little café where you can stop and get some food. They have recently completed a large log cabin for their new café, but they still provide the same great food. One of my favourites from stopping here is the homemade pie and ice cream. The pies are so crispy and fresh and the ice cream is amazingly creamy and soft. It’s a great stop for pie no matter which season it is. Of course they also have a great selection of other foods to fill you up and get you on your way as well. I recommend everyone make a stop at Purden Lake Resort on your next trip out east.
