5 stars Aside from the bloodstains on the carpet and the 1 mouse we saw under the fridge, The place was pretty clean and felt pretty safe. The staff were very friendly. There were no bed bugs or cockroaches I figured there were enough spiders in the corners of the room to take care of all those pests, but did a double check just to be safe. The shower had great pressure. I mean it better cause it sounded like a bomb going off every time you turned it on. The hot water was great for long showers, never ran cold. Definitely give it 5 stars and would book again , definitely entertaining like a game of clue. Who did it, with what weapon, and how.... hopfully it was just a bad nosebleed.

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.

We found dirty dishes in the kitchen; the inside of the kitchen cabinets had not been cleaned; stains on the carpets, dead ants and foul smell in the room. This place has seen better days.
