Our experience was excellent. The staff were friendly and obviously well trained. The hotel offered many fun and unique amenities, all free of charge. The ambiance was welcoming, the rooms spacious, clean and well appointed. The on-site restaurant, bar and coffee shop were top notch. It’s both kid and pet friendly, with an onsite playground, old school arcade games, board games, etc. live music on weekend afternoons. 10 minute walk to stunning Chesterman Beach, and a 5 minute drive to downtown Tofino. We’ll definitely be back.
