Who is Stan?

The Coast Plaza Hotel and Suites Mascot
Stanley the Squirrel

Stanley is a very special squirrel for a number of reasons:

He and his family began living at our hotel in 1969

He was adopted as our mascot in 1970

His colouring is unique; only 1 in every 10,000 squirrels is black

Hazelnuts are Stanley’s favourite food

We purchase 1,000 pounds of hazelnuts every year to feed to Stanley and his family

Stanley’s family has grown over the years and now numbers just over 40 squirrels

We always have hazelnuts available at our front door and if you would like to help feed Stanley, just ask our Doorman!

I travel too much and have too many fivarotes. So many beautifully done hotels however, I cannot say the same for service. I have stayed at what is considered some highend hotels and had horrible service. I’m a tough customer because I’ve been in sales for 20 years and have sold a service and actually waitressing paid my college education so I hold people to a high standard. One of my fantasy jobs is to work in a hotel. I’m great in customer service and deal with every kind of client imagineable and I’m very patient with resolving issues and thinking outside the box. Give me a highend hotel and watch the service sky rocket. Oh! Trust me after i have just flown 8 hours, plus another 2 to get somewhere and my room is not ready or there is a problem .the best thing to do for me is hand me a martini and a glass of wine and I would give you a five star rating. I got to get off this comment board because I could go on and on.
