The host was very nice and welcoming. The beautiful Chesterman Beach was in walking distance and so was a food court with a bakery, an ice cream shop, a bistro (burgers and very good fish) and surf renatals/shops. It is a bit outside of town but in July/August there is a free shuttle bus stop right in front of the motel going to the center of Tofino. Also, there is a daily room service if required.

The place was directly next to the highway and thus pretty loud. The bed was quite small, uncomfortable and loud, too. The room was also very small.

Great location right beside a bakery, coffee shop, restos, trails and beach.

The price was very high but reflective of the area and time of year I guess. It would have been nice if some bottles of water were in the fridge for our arrival.

The room was cosy with great block out curtains, picnic table outside, kitchen and lots of monies on the TV. Lots of cleane towels. Free parking.

The shower is very small, but it is an older style unit.

Right next door to the free shuttle into town, and also bike and surf rentals, cafe etc. Bed and sheets were comfortable, excellent shower pressure. Walls were a bit thin but I slept well with ear plugs and an eye mask.

The location is fantastic. Within a 10 walk to Mackenzie beach and 2 minutes to coffee and food. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful.

The property is older and could probably use some updates.

Location is perfect, our favorite beach is only 6 min walking distance. Kitchen is fully equipped, big fridge, microwave, toaster, dishes, etc.

It's an old hotel, but pretty clear though

Owner was so nice. Location was ideal. Rooms were perfect size and had everything needed. Wifi was very good.

The walls were quite thin, so a romantic stay here would have an auditory audience.

I liked the picnic table outside the motel room.

There was no blanket only the top sheet and the bedspread. Also, the rooms are small and with only one pillow, it was hard to sit up on beds d comfortably read it watch Netflix.
