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.

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.

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.

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.
