The room was really nice and cozy, and the bathroom was stunning. The new renovation looks absolutely amazing! The front desk accommodated an earlier check-in for us which was lovely. We also didn’t hear any noise from the pub downstairs at all, but we were in the wing on the other side of the hotel — if we had paid for an ocean view then we would have been in the wing directly above the pub which would have likely meant noise. The Bear was also really good and the oysters we had were divine! Would absolutely stay here again

There are lots of good things to say about this hotel, but some weird/bad things too. The Good - Affordable for Tofino. Close to the water with views from the lobby. Nice rooms. A good restaurant. The Bad - There is almost always no one at the front desk. ALL the communication is by e-mail and not altogether. One email reminding you of the date. One e-mail with the WiFI password. One e-mail saying that their is a 10% discount at the restaurant if you are staying there (which I missed and paid full price. The halls can get noisy. The room was cozy but some amenities are lacking.
