Very good

Good laundry facilities, some road noise. The owner was very friendly and accommodating, There are two chairs outside to sit and watch the ocean tides. The ocean is right across the road from the hotel. The couches were a bit dated. Close to many attractions. Very reasonably priced.

Very very basic but clean and great location — staff was lovely.
Right across from the ocean, watched the otters swimming around. Super easy and quick check in. Friendly people all around. Had dinner at the Cafe down the street (can't remember the name) also beautiful view of the ocean:) loved this location and room!

We loved being able to catch up on our laundry and dishes after camping for 2 nights. The place is older, but undergoing different renovations, and for the price, we would definitely stop again in the off-season. Thank you
My family had an amazing experience staying in Qualicum Beach Resort. Very clean place to stay, they have complete amenities from kitchen and towels, pet friendly and friendly accomodating customer service. We highly recommend this place to travelers. 👍

I love the convenience of the ocean and the walking trails nearby, the convenience of attractions, shopping is a quick drive away. The kitchen did not have any dish towels or dish cloths and had to use the bathroom towels/fae cloths for drying and the frying pan was disgusting, didn’t look like the oven or pan were cleaned or checked to see if they were clean. I think this was a one off as the other rooms were better equipped as we had a big group of us staying there. The staff were lovely and except for those 2 issues I would definitely stay there again.
We had 5 rooms booked. Some rooms were without some appliances and kitchen towels.also need to put a little kitchen stand to have a bit more counter space

Stayed here before and it's been very nice in the past.
Our oven was missing a knob and couldn't use it.
Also missing a toaster so had to toast over an element. Rooms could also use a broom to help with cleaning. One evening I went to asked for more toilet paper and was told maybe since housekeepers were gone for the day. Lucky they had one.
The doors don't shut completely shut and seal and air flows through and the traffic is very loud on busy nights.
Love the views and good location. Park is a good option for the kids as well
I love staying here but my unit needs functional lights.

It's a little rough around the edges but considering that it had a decent kitchen with all appliances and a dining area, the unit was clean, had an amazing view the price was good.
The outside of the Motel buildings could do with a more updated look Not so appealing:( No curb appeal The rooms are ok Need some modern furniture etc The top motel was okay, we just needed a place to stay for one night I wouldn't have stayed any longer
