Clarion hotel and conference centre is out of the way of the centre of Abbotsford, but conveniently located near the highway. I stayed here on a business trip because for one night there was no availability in Vancouver where my conference was. Or the prices were too high, north of 400 euros.
Of course I had to try to their pool. I was kind of expecting an outdoor pool, but no,.. an indoor one. A medium sized pool and a small jacuzzi. Not bad, but I wanted also a sauna, which wasn't there :-) Oh well.
I also ate at the restaurant, had the crispy prawns and cucumber - watermelon drink, was quite good!
Interestingly, the hotel room had a gas-powered fireplace which turned itself on automatically if you adjusted the room thermostat. Nice!
The hotel felt like a highway-locked place where you can't really exit on foot. But if you walk past the fire station behind the parking lot, you can find a shopping area with interesting shops, like the Angry Otter Liquor:
On the way here, I also dropped by some caves in Fraser Valley. See the other article.

I never take recognisable photos of other saunagoers or swimmers. and try to visit at times where there is simply no one else around or the facility has been booked only for me.
