Kelly, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was quite a large suite and extremely well located. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Exterior needs a paint job, but I can live with that. Bring a sharp knife if you're going to use the kitchen!
Heather, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything worked out well and we are very happy.
Yan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

There were four of us and the accommodations were fair. I liked the television and the couch bed was comfortable and large (a queen). It was very convenient to everything in Ucluelet. Our suite was not luxurious but it was clean and roomy enough for us to enjoy ourselves.
Wylie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Spacious, homey
Laura, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great little apartment with a full kitchen and bath. Perfect for exploring Ucluelet by foot. The bed was comfy but the pull out sofa was very uncomfortable. The second night I just left it as a sofa to sleep on. The staff were very friendly and even offered to still let us use the sauna upon check out. I would definitely consider staying here again.
