Stinky hallways, unfriendly staff and is it legal to lock the front door at 10pm and not give visitors a key?

Cheaper than staying in the west coast of the island - but the cleanly, overall look, and experience was sub par - however, it was offered at a lower price than stays in uchelet - that made it acceptable- port area is nice

Most expensive dive I’ve ever stayed at
Room was okay. Bed was alright, but pillows were horrible, had to go buy new ones. The pub attached to the hotel had great service and food. Walked around the area, not much to see.

It’s a decent hotel for the price. A little run down and some things like bulbs being out in lights. For the price though, is a decent place to crash with comfy beds.

Overall good experience. Only downsides were if you open the window there isn’t a screen to prevent bugs and rain from coming in and the shower water setting was either too cold or too hot.

The hotel is newly renovated, quiet and clean. Staff are nice. The location is convenient, it's between Tofino and Parksville, so we can play in Parksville for the first day, and Tofino in the second day. Definitely will come back for next Tofino trip.

The hotel was a bit worn-down but it looked like some upgrading was going on. The room was ok, but the laundry room was very filthy and dirty. The staff was very friendly.

Everything is outdated: showers are leaking, bathtubs have no plugs, sinks are rusty with a lot of cracks. Rooms were dusty with filthy spots on TV and table.
It was obviously overpriced. The only good thing was that this hotel accepted dogs, but it was quite unreasonable to pay $30.00 for a very clean,quiet, older dog.

Some kind of machinery below our room made a terrific noise exactly every 15 minutes all night long. Room was shabby, threadbare sheets, one lamp for the whole room, ridiculously small stained towels. It was gross. Staff was interesting the front desk person had on an orange hoodie with the hood over his head. Friendly enough but reception smelled bad, room smelled like the decades long smoking room it used to be. Our ‘view’ was over a trash filled junk yard. Do better people, you could make a fortune off tourism if you got your act together. The restaurant was amazing though. We are from Port Alberni and would be willing to try again if you can clean it up.

The property is ok ish, it worked for a night. The cleaning was ok but the building needs maintenance and a proper deep clean. The staff are polite but not outgoing and had difficulty with English.

Terrible place and barely slept as my partner and I felt very unsafe in this "hotel" due to poor service, people smoking and talking loudly outside late at night, unprofessional signage, and a TV cabinet with a missing TV giving eery vibes...

It’s an older property with some history to it I would say. Lotta loggers and fishermen have stayed here over the years. The current owners and staff are doing their best to make it presentable. I applaud their effort.

Hotel spelt like cat urine. Staff had trouble understanding me (speaking English). Tried to give me a room I did not request. Would not stay here again.
