Loved our stay at The Maq. Our check in was the only challenge we had. Their front desk closes at 9 pm and unfortunately due to significant travel delays we weren’t able to get to the hotel until 11:45 pm. The front desk contacted us earlier in the day and told us the envelope with our key will be in a secure place inside if we were to arrive after 9. The doors to the hotel were locked when we got there, which was very shocking. Fortunately, the BierHaus was just closing and the executive chef was kind enough to let us in and explain that due to the small nature of the town they just don’t have the staff to stay throughout the night, which was totally understandable. We were just glad to get to our room after such a long day of travel! If you’re expecting AC, there isn’t any, but not to worry, they do provide a fan and the weather when we’re there was cool and kept us comfortable. There wasn’t a refrigerator in the room, but they did provide a cooler and complimentary ice. The hotel is located near the water and in walking distance to several shops and restaurants. Overall, we had a great stay. The hotel had a cafe, bar and pub, which was very convenient. The decor was beautiful and the rooms were charming and clean. I would highly recommend staying at The MAQ if visiting Tofino.

As mentioned already on another questionnaire, It was all great, but at 70 plus our money earned over our careers doesn’t reflect the prices seen today for travellers . We are going to stay home a lot more now that we are retired.

Hotel is OK. It has the minimal services expected from a hotel. There wasn’t even a closet. Overall I think that Tofino is overrated, so my stay wasn’t particularly the highlight of my trip.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Maq Hotel. The room was clean and spacious, the bathroom was decorated nicely. The bed was super comfortable. The hotel staff, particularly those working in the cafe, were really friendly and welcoming. The hotel is well located, and has a handy Co-Op just up the road.

It is a quirky little Hotel.... very old school with actual door keys. Just wish they would auto lock as some one accidentally came into our room because they thought it was theirs. Great location walking distance to just about everything. Air-conditioning would have nice a couple of nights but not terribly bad. Coffee shop and Restaurant onsite were both good. I would book here again

I loved the hotel’s decor and found it to be very clean, you could see it has a revamp recently so everything felt new and fresh. I was incredibly disappointed with the service however. We went to the reception desk numerous times and were met with unprofessional behaviour between staff members, banging on windows and waving at other people while we were waiting to be served, we were ignored for a few minutes. We also have to say the service in the restaurant/hotel bar was also terrible. Our server ignored us and when asked by a server if they could take our order they told us he wasn’t our server but he’d send ours down… we felt like we weren’t able to as for anything then. Our food came down cold and it took nearly 10 mins for someone to come with 1 beer to us. We also hear off duty staff of the facility sitting next to us being loud and drunk, which really put us off. If you are looking for some peace and quiet in Tofino then it’s not the place for you.

4/5 stars, watch your shins!
Room was clean, bed was super comfortable, bathroom was small but very modern. The building is old so no fridges in rooms but are provided coolers and free ice. No elevator. Cons - the bed frames blend in with the floor so watch your shins, and the lobby/check in was difficult to find in the multiple entrance building. Loved that the staff checked in throughout the stay and were very courteous. Bonus, free cocktail upon check-in! Cafe staff were quick and food/drink wad delicious. Pub staff were great as well. Beautiful view and very centrally located, walking distance to most things! Overall would definitely stay again.
