The Lake Cowichan Lodge is an older but clean and comfortable hotel. The room I rented consisted of a suite with a separate bedroom and had a kitchenette with a full size fridge and stove. I would recommend the LCL to any price conscious traveller.

Price was excellent and I was very impressed with everything. Checkin was already an early time and we were able to checkin even earlier. Pet friendly was nice. We were surprised by the size of the room. My only suggestion is the blankets were thin and there were no extra blankets in the closets. We did however turn up the heat and were warm through the night.

I would rather sleep in my car. Room was 32° when we entered and took 6 hours to cool off with the small portable AC unit. Faucet and shower were broken and stayed on at the same time - great if you want to have a bath while getting sprayed in the face by the shower. Bed was rock hard and squeaked every time you moved.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The front desk was closed upon arrival at 11'30pm, had to call . Lobby smelt horrible, like dirty wet dog, hallways to room smelt like dog pee, so disgusting. They need to remove the pee soaked carpeting. Also the old green carpets in the room were stained, torn and just overall gave me the ick. Bedroom and restroom were fine. I think people live full time in the hotel, noise from the room above was loud in the morning. Wouldn't recommend

Overall quality was low, it seems to be a housing solution for those less fortunate which is fine but the smell and run down nature of the place was a little off putting.
