This is the COOLEST hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The vibes were immaculate, the artwork was eclectic, the staff were wonderful and it was such a good time. They have a welcome drink which was so awesome and you get coffee in the morning too! (The coffee was so incredibly delicious) Their restaurant was so chic, and they even made changes to the food for me which was so kind, as I am a picky eater. I would for sure stay there again if I ever make it to Tofino again. :)

The hotel is centrally located. The rooms are sparsely furnished (1 chair and 2 night tables). The beds are too soft and uncomfortable. There are no desks or coffee machines. Expedia price is incomplete- did not include tribal fee of 1% and sustainability fee of 1%.

We had a wonderful stay at the Maq Hotel in Tofino. Everything was great from start to finish. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and in an excellent location. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and we would definitely stay here again when visiting Tofino. Highly recommended!

The room was up a long flight of stairs - no elevator no breakfast - in the evening- there was a restaurant on site but we didn't reserve a table so they couldn't seat us - so we wandered around the little town and bought sandwiches at the co-op store . we found an outdoor place that had huge poutine -excellent for lunch when we arrived the room was small - no TV , no fridge or safe etc. tiny bedside table for your phone it was very close to the main dock in town so nice view if you were on water side -which we weren't

Love the location, parking was available for us, and they set up a cute pet area for our pup! They let us have free drip coffee, ice was available for the cooler provided and they had a promo for free welcome cocktail! The lady at the front was super sweet and let us check in early and when i left my ID at the front desk she tucked it in our room for us which was super sweet!! Will stay again!

This is a boutique hotel conveniently located in central Tofino, walkable to shops and restaurants and with free parking. I loved the unique decor, the updated room, the on-site coffee shop and comfortable lobby. There is also a restaurant on-site which we didn't try, maybe another time. Complimentary cocktails were offered in the lobby, which was welcome. Directly across the road is a fun little book store with coffee bar on the water. While not a problem for us, there is no elevator to the floor with the rooms. We would stay here again.
