Ting, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay was so cozy and warm and relaxing, fast service and friendly staff, one thing we didn’t like was the internet kept cutting out and not working, but over all would go back and stay there again
Dion, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

My stay in the off season was restful & quiet. I loved the bright clean bathroom and parking outside my door. Bed was comfortable.
Signy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Motel is dated with some upgrades. Could use a little more work. Easy access to room with parking outside the door. T.V. is small and not easy to view from the beds. Would do better on the wall across from the beds and 3 sizes larger.

Location was good close to harbour.

We stayed here for a night and it felt very homey, safe and the staff were super nice and went above and beyond.

Very old and in great need of complete renovation. Carpets and bed coverings are stained and look dirty. Smelled of mildew.

Owners were super friendly and room was extremely clean.
Angela, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok

Not as expected. Beds were too soft. Very simple decor and mismatching, old style furnishings. Pool was green and closed which was disappointing for the kids. Man at front desk was very kind.

Family friendly.

Pleasant motel, with all of the basics to stay for a week, if you wished. Kitchenette is nice. And the place is clean. Remarkably quiet, and minutes from downtown.
Allen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location of the property is good. It was a decent place to sleep for the night on our way to Ucluelet. Nothing special, but ok for the price.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

The only good thing about this hotel is that it’s on Vancouver Island and the owner is very friendly. For the rest, it’s old, not that clean, not at all renovated, doesn’t smell good and the pool can’t be used. We were short in choices for our dates and we wanted to be as close as possible from Tofino. It’s expensive for what you get, but I guess this is the reality on the island.

Great little place to stay for the night. Bummer the pool wasn’t up and running though! Thanks

Unfortunately there was a terrible smell in our room even with the windows open. Small burns on the covers. We were advised the pool was not open when we got there. There was no notice on the motel website or through expedia.ca
