The Zen Buddhist Temple is a great place to stay if you’re looking for some peace and quiet. There are Zen Buddhist students who also stay there full time for residency. Depending on the day, there are public practices and services downstairs. If you’re lucky, you’ll hear them chanting. Some mornings begin fairly early at the Temple. If you’re somebody who likes to sleep in, maybe bring some earplugs. The room itself is very lovely! Simple, rustic, clean, and very cozy. The mattress was very comfortable. There’s lots of space under the loft. There’s a ceiling fan with a remote control you can take with you up to the loft to control the air and lighting. Down the hall is a shared washroom, the office, and other bedrooms. The temple cat is super cute and friendly. I wish I had more time to check out the garden and hang around but I was in town for a workshop downtown. And the bed was too comfortable to leave. Haha but the resting was worth it.
