It’s a list we don’t want to be at the top of, and Prince George isn’t.
A new survey by Cheaphotels.org ranks Prince George as the 28th priciest destination in Canada this summer out of 30 it surveyed.
Banff is the priciest and Vancouver is the second-priciest destination in Canada this summer, according the survey.
The survey compared hotel rates of 30 Canadian destinations for the month of August 2018. It should be noted only centrally-located hotels, rated three-stars or higher, were included in the survey.
In Vancouver, visitors will spend an average of CA$324 for the least expensive double rooms available. Only one destination is more expensive. Banff, the luxury resort town located in Alberta’s Rockies, leads the ranking of priciest summer destinations in the country. Canmore, another mountain destination in Alberta, completes the podium at an average of CA$316 per night for the most affordable room.
