5 stars: Sean was great! Friendly and very helpful. Gave us a choice of the 2 pet-friendly rooms as we traveled with 3 dogs. There was plenty of space for them to run. The beds were comfortable. Had a restaurant next door which was ok. A pub i short drive away that had amazing food. (Huge portions) 1star: the room was very old, run down and had the worst smell ever!! We even bought candles. They didn't help. The separate bedroom was a nice touch but the smell was unbearable. Slept with the window wide open. The tv was hanging downward from the wall which we had to fix ourselves. Had to fight to get connected to the internet. Shower was ok if you're 5' tall. Both kitchen chairs had a big hole in the seats. I'm not kidding, the smell of the room stayed on our clothes. We had booked room for 2 nights through Expedia with the 1 stipulation that it was fully refundable. We thought it was a perfect choice for where we wanted to explore. We checked out a day early because of being absolutely disgusted. My husband told me not to complain and to make up a lie why we were leaving because we are not rude people. Not much disgusts me but this place certainly did! Thinking that we would get a refund for the second night, we checked out. Could only reach management through the phone. Sean said there is normally no refunds but will see if we could give us a partial refund. I have tried calling 5 times since we left and he will not even answer the phone. Wasted $398!!! NOT IMPRESSED!!!

The location is great when visiting Chemainus. The staff , "Iced" was very friendly and professional. The drapes in the first room did not close completely and the TV didn't work. The Staff quickly replaced that room with suitable equipment. The motel was worth the money and I would stay again.

Overall gets the job done.

The shower wasn't more than a trickle most of the water went into the tub and was very hot and almost to the point of buring - but to have a somewhat warm trickle of water the hornwatwt had to be up. There were blue stains in the sheets from what looked like blue berries or another rype of berry that didnt come out.

Definitely adequate for it's price point. There was an error with the Expedia listing, but the staff and management were extremely accommodating to try and make it right. They went above what was needed and I highly appreciate that. It's nothing glamourous but I would stay there again.

If you have realistic expectations, this is a great stay— it’s an older roadside inn that hasn’t been updated much aesthetically, but it’s clean and the rooms are actually really quiet for being right beside the highway. The Haida Way is a great spot in the morning for a good greasy spoon breakfast on your way back out. Will stay again.

With the current cost of hotel accommodation this was good value for the money. It was convenient for Chemainus, the golf club, theatre and if travelling between the north and south of the Island. We stayed in a 2 bedroom room - convenient as we were a 3 adult group. Storage was a little sparse, but, as we were only staying for the one night, this was not really a problem. It would have been useful to have had a lamp in the bedroom as the light switch had to be accessed from the hall way. Check on cups, cutlery etc if you are a group of 4. Some features in the motel room were updated but we will look forward to staying in one of the advertised 'newly renovated' rooms on another visit. This motel has potential! Pretty garden at the front of the motel and I noticed there was a barbecue available (which we did not use). The person on the front desk was, in her words,'new' but she was very friendly and helpful.

While it may not be much to look at from the outside, its a great little place to stay. Very quiet, very clean and friendly staff. Air conditioning worked great and the beds were very comfortable. We stayed there once before, and the experience then was great as well. We will definitely stay there again.
