We stayed one night at this motel. The lady at the front desk was very pleasant and attentive, which we truly appreciated. However, the condition of the room was disappointing. The dishes, pans, cutlery, and even the knife were dirty and sticky — clearly not washed properly. If you plan to use them, you’ll need to clean everything yourself first. The fan in the bathroom was extremely loud and couldn’t be turned off separately from the light, which was quite inconvenient. Only one power socket worked, and to access it, we had to pull the bed away from the wall. While the room did have a coffee machine, kettle, toaster, and microwave — along with complimentary coffee and tea — none of the appliances appeared to have been cleaned thoroughly. Additionally, the furniture surfaces were dusty and could have used more attention. Overall, while the front desk service was lovely, the lack of cleanliness and maintenance in the room made our stay less comfortable than we had hoped.

If you are looking for a beautiful modern facility you will be very disappointed. The building is very old as was the bathroom facilities. But, if you are looking for clean sheets & towels & a mini kitchenette included, you may find it very good value for your money in Tofino (where hotel rates are extremely high generally), & this place may be worth consideration. Check in & keys were ready immediately and staff friendly.

Was upgraded from twins to doubles due to the room not being ready when i arrived, which was nice. But there was literally a dirty pair of underwear behind the tv in the gap between the wall in my room. Very outdated kitchenette. Pretty quiet stay though & didnt hear anything from the rooms occupied around me. Stayed here because it was the cheapest option, & now i know why that is.
Dirty underwear found in my room from previous guest..

If you aren’t looking for something fancy and you want to cook, this place is simple clean and quiet. The tv and showers are good and it has a fridge, stove and microwave so you can eat in. I also like hotels that use white sheets to cover duvets. The beds were very comphy. But don’t expect the Westin nor a resort. It’s a motel. But I’d stay there again. Best price in town.

The photos shown on Expedia do not correspond to the sad reality, very expensive for what the property offers. I DO NOT recommend it.

Very clean and functional “old school” motel which was dog friendly. Checkin was at a different location but we found it okay and the room served our purposes very well. I liked how the bed was in a separate room. There was also a couch and small table with two chairs. Laminate flooring.

Clean but very dated and utilities are old and run down. Pipes make a lot of noise as did bathroom fan and neighbouring units fan & water pipes. Could do with an external tidy up and some R & M.

The rooms were spacious and the location is quite central which was important to us. The property is in some need of repairs and an update would improve the experience. Not everything in the room was working properly. Overall it was an ok stay but perhaps the price was a little high for the services provided.

The stay was quiet and nice but not too secluded. The online photos of the room were not what it looked like in person; much more run down and older property. Kitchen, tv and bathroom amenities were good.
