Besoin d’amour, mais propose et bien situé.

Comme les commentaires précédents, l’établissement doit recevoir de majeures rénovations, nous sommes presque restés avec un robinet dans les mains, mais ce qui est là est bien propre malgré l’usure. Même si le prix par nuit est moins cher que ce que nous trouvons autour, cela ne justifie pas l’état presque à l’abandon de la bâtisse pour près de 400$ la nuit. Toutefois, nous avons apprécié l’emplacement de la chambre, Uclulet se visite presque tout à pied. Les employés ont été très gentils attentionnés.

Overall was okay , we didn’t spend much time in the hotel room as we were busy and it was very out dated , no plugs in the bathroom , and blinds were missing parts so hard to cover window with blanket , but the staff were excellent , over priced for the room for sure. But did the trick . Bathroom is on its last legs . Toilet barely holding on , and shower and peeling and showing gross rust , great pressure though , so it was overall not the worst . Kids didn’t mind it .

The only good thing about this hotel is the fact that it’s located in Ucluelet. I can’t believe how absolutely disgusting my bathroom is, the carpet is filthy, the balcony/stairs have very wobbly railings, a child or anyone could fall and kill themselves easily. If I could get a refund on my room I’d definitely try but there’s no other rooms available in this town. Highly disgusted and disappointed… I wish I could give -5 stars I should add, at checkout there absolutely nobody to take your keys, if you knock on the residence door they will peek out the curtain at you but they won’t open the door to speak to you. This whole place is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I should have taken many more photos of this place, it’s a dump!

We liked the location , it was clean and affordable. The kitchens are super under stocked. One sugar packet for the coffee. No salt,pepper, oven safe dishes or sharp knives. Not the end of the world the co-op has disposable foil pans but just a heads up.

We stayed one night at this motel. The lady at the front desk was very pleasant and attentive, which we truly appreciated. However, the condition of the room was disappointing. The dishes, pans, cutlery, and even the knife were dirty and sticky — clearly not washed properly. If you plan to use them, you’ll need to clean everything yourself first. The fan in the bathroom was extremely loud and couldn’t be turned off separately from the light, which was quite inconvenient. Only one power socket worked, and to access it, we had to pull the bed away from the wall. While the room did have a coffee machine, kettle, toaster, and microwave — along with complimentary coffee and tea — none of the appliances appeared to have been cleaned thoroughly. Additionally, the furniture surfaces were dusty and could have used more attention. Overall, while the front desk service was lovely, the lack of cleanliness and maintenance in the room made our stay less comfortable than we had hoped.

If you are looking for a beautiful modern facility you will be very disappointed. The building is very old as was the bathroom facilities. But, if you are looking for clean sheets & towels & a mini kitchenette included, you may find it very good value for your money in Tofino (where hotel rates are extremely high generally), & this place may be worth consideration. Check in & keys were ready immediately and staff friendly.

Was upgraded from twins to doubles due to the room not being ready when i arrived, which was nice. But there was literally a dirty pair of underwear behind the tv in the gap between the wall in my room. Very outdated kitchenette. Pretty quiet stay though & didnt hear anything from the rooms occupied around me. Stayed here because it was the cheapest option, & now i know why that is.
Dirty underwear found in my room from previous guest..
