Beautiful and historically renovated hotel. Comfortable and clean rooms. Only minor issue was parking. If you arrive when the restaurant is open, you will struggle to find parking.

The MAQ was the perfect place to stay as a couple! We visited mid-October for two nights and couldn't have been happier. The room was super clean, as was the bathroom. It was great to have a cafe downstairs and also a great restaurant. Since it was not a busy time in the year, parking was easy to find. Location was also great. Since we visited mid-October, we didn't need AC in the room but definitely something to keep in mind if it's a hot summer. There is a fan in the room though. A fridge would have been nice but it was not a dealbreaker. Overall, 10/10 stay and would definitely come back!

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%.

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
