Stay Different. Stay real.
So long stuffy-and-staid hotels! We’re the pint-sized British Columbia hotel chain with a big personality. Here, elevators get transformed into hot-air balloon rides, “Do Not Disturb” magnets make you LOL, and rubber-duck shuttle vans are the new mode of transportation. Rubber ducks reside in every room for guests to take in the bath or take home with them at the end of their stay. The emphasis is always on care, comfort and fun for both guests and our Accent family members.

Check out some of the rad humans that are part of our Fam-Jam!
I like that we celebrate all the different cultures we have here. The scheduling is flexible, which makes it easy to have a work-life balance and still enjoy coming to work. The Work Perks are great, and I especially appreciate the Live Your Best Life program.
Karman
I love working here because of how evident it is that the company really looks out for our best interests. Investing in our personal development, providing ample benefits that are too plentiful to list, and truly offering a give and take relationship to create an amazing work life balance! This pond is full of stellar ducks I’m so grateful to swim with!
Jennie
When families from Variety stay with us, we form connections with the children and their loved ones. It’s heart-wrenching to witness some of them succumb to their illnesses. These deeply personal relationships exemplify why our partnership with Variety is invaluable to us. While we can’t eradicate their illnesses, we can bring moments of joy, however fleeting, by simply bringing a smile to their faces.
Enzo
My favourite thing about the Employee Purchase Plan is I never have to worry about buying overpriced mattresses and sheets! I get the best quality stuff at far below retail prices and my sleeps are the best they can be!
Trina
I get to put together our Fam-Jammer monthly newsletter to staff and I love being able to include fun contests for everyone. Pro tip – not that many people enter so your chances of winning are really good!
Cheryl
I love being a sex-positive hotel. People have great sex in hotel rooms, and people in our industry never talk about it. I believe a healthy sex life is part of your overall wellness. It’s a fantastic way to give your mind and body a boost!
Mandy
The Achieving Awesome Program is nice because it helps with our groceries, or to buy a little something to celebrate that we did a great job! It’s like when you are a student you get good grades as a reward for doing a great job, the program is kind of like getting to see our good grades because we gave it 100%.
Jovi
The Achieving Awesome Program is rewarding to us. We know if we receive our gift card for the month it means we did a great job in some way. It means they appreciate us and that means a lot because we work hard! As employees we always give our best to the guests, and it is nice to get something in return.
Maria
Family Rates is one of my favorite perks! As someone who loves to travel, not only do I get to stay in awesome places around BC for a great rate, I also get to offer my friends and family the same perk. It makes me feel wonderful helping out my friends and family (and showing off my place of work at the same time!)
Taylor
With the Employee Referral Program, you get money and you get it right away which is awesome. And then of course you get to bring your own fam-jam into our Fam-Jam! Such a benefit sharing this workplace with friends and family, and a great experience for both parties. You also then get to work with your friends! Winning!
Janine
No matter what way I turn, here the company always has my back. The President of the company has said to call him personally if I need anything to do with my son, who is unwell. The company offered to fly me to Ottawa to be with my son during treatment. When I visit my son in Burnaby, I don’t ever have to pay for my stay. No matter what I need if they can possibly do it, they will. I cannot say enough good things about working here.
Marcy
I love interacting with guests. I love the way we co-operate as a team and everyone is so understanding with so much love and care. Also, our benefits ROCK!
Alisha
You are allowed and encouraged to contribute ideas, and they are valued and listened to.
Amy
You can use your own judgement on how to support our guests. Management is approachable not just in my department, but across properties. And I love my team.
Harry
You get to be yourself, and don’t have to be scripted. I love the friendships I have created at the hotel that are very meaningful. It is also a super fun and flexible environment!
Pryanika
The people and energy are really warm. The fact that mistakes are welcome makes you feel comfortable and able to really be yourself.
Tanmayi
I love working here because of all of the unique benefits and because the team is so helpful. Everyone brings a smile to my life, and are always there for me.
Shivani
Diversity and Inclusion are a constant topic in HR and recruitment, and a key priority for us at the hotels. We have a connected company culture where every employee feels accepted, valued, and has a sense of belonging. That’s what being in our Fam-Jam is all about! I love being part of an empathetic workplace, where everyone’s feelings are valued and acknowledged.
Julie
Caring is the word I use to describe Accent Inns. This company cares about the community and they care about the health and safety of their employees and guests. Most of all, they care enough to make sure that I KNOW that I am valued, that they will ALWAYS have my back and that they actually care about me as an individual, not just another employee. That is why I love working at Accent Inns.
Bonnie
I was really excited to hand out gift cards in our community. The workers reactions were priceless! They couldn’t believe that they were being recognized and it was so nice to do this for them. It made us all feel amazing to thank these grocery store workers that have done so much for us over the pandemic.
Lydia
Many of our employees take the bus every day and care about their drivers. BC Transit drivers are COVID heroes. They’ve been delivering service throughout the pandemic to get British Columbians where they need to go. We wanted to show them love, appreciation and thanks!
Mandy
The crazy part about the Got Your Back Fund is that I didn’t have to ask or apply. My boss knows me and cares about me enough to actually know how I am doing. When she called me to tell me that they knew we were having a tough time and offered to pay for my daughter’s tutoring, I was taken back by emotions. My daughter (age 14) moved up three reading grades in just over three months. I genuinely love Accent Inns and cannot be more thankful to work here.
Lindsay
I love working here because I work with the Ultimate Hugger – the staff are so supportive and fun and makes work not seem like work!
Laura
Why I love working here: great staff, awesome workplace culture, sweet benefits and lots of parties and celebrations!
Mary
I love working here because of Mandy Farmer. As a CEO, I feel she truly cares about each and every employee that works for her company. She is always excited to see us and talk with us. Knowing someone who cares that much about us in her position is amazing.
Verona
I love working here because of the family atmosphere we receive from Management. I have worked here for a very long time, and I have always felt cared for and taken care of by this company. What this company does for its employees is something I have never seen before.
Maria
I love this company because there is room for growth and opportunities. I have gone from working in laundry up to management in 3.5 years!
Crystal
I love working here because of our culture. I love how open management, VP’s, and even Mandy is to suggestions and ideas no matter who it is from. I also love the benefits of working here whether it be the great deals at other properties or to be able to give back to our community in a fun way.
Emily
I feel like Accent Inns is my home because I can open up to everyone and it feels so much like a family (more than my own family!) There is no discrimination, and I feel comfortable being myself, which makes me feel truly free.
Jeraldine
It’s a very welcoming environment where you can be yourself and there are no judgments. Everybody gets along with one another and it’s a sense of community where everyone supports each other.
Lori
I love the great team that I work with and the values we all live by. I love that we give back to the community and do fun initiatives as a team. I love learning new things within my role and supporting my team everyday.
Janine
For me, Accent Inns had my back while I was off for personal reasons for two years and I really appreciate it. We are treated like family. I also love that we are always innovating and constantly upgrading our standards and keeping relevant.
Madhu
I love how diverse this company is and how I get to work and interact with lots of interesting people. The Work Perks are amazing, and I feel so cared about and genuinely feel like the company wants us to feel happy and loved.
Laura
Being part of this team is a great privilege. I started in the housekeeping department and was given the opportunity to take on a job as one of the front desk agents – completely out of my comfort zone. It’s been an awesome opportunity and I’m just loving it!
Connie
I enjoy working here because of the people that I meet. The staff is very helpful, and management is always there for us. Everyday I am doing something different, whether that is helping a guest bring stuff to their room, learning how to work TV’s or helping elderly guests with their luggage. Even if I am having a bad day, this place always puts a smile on my face when I walk through the door.
Jay
I feel valued for my contributions. There is so much room to grow, and I have got to learn so many different positions that allow me to continuously develop and build strong relationships. I love the people I work with, which makes every day so much fun, but also have a great work-life balance.
