The staff on arrival was kind and helpful. We got into our room very quickly and they made some great recommendations for the night. In the room there was a binder full of local knowledge as well as a suggested day trip up to Tofino. We did most if it and it was fantastic. The room was very clean and made it easy to relax after spending the day exploring. Both my partner and I would definitely here again.

Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Nicely appointed, nice small touches. Clean. The best guest manual ever! Good water pressure in the shower. We would have liked a roll of paper towels in our unit (it had a kitchen). Secure bicycle storage and a bike-washing station. It would not be easy for someone with mobility disabilities to access, i.e. stairs.

Although a little warn, very clean and fully equipped kitchen which allowed us to have a few meals in the suite instead of spending $ eating out every night. It can get noisy with car traffic during the day but quieter in the evening. We had no issue sleeping at night. There is no AC but I found opening the window allowed a nice breeze to flow into the room.

The room was very clean and very well equipped. There seemed to be a lot of "foot" traffic past our Room (207). query smokers going to their smoking area. We did not like that since we had to keep our blinds closed for privacy.

The motel room was very clean and quaint. They focus on locally sourced items, from coffee to the art in the rooms. The beds were comfortable, the kitchenette very handy and the information package was beyond what most offer. The owner was very helpful and was able to accommodate a special request. We highly recommend this motel.
