We have stayed here at the Driftwood now Sechelt Inn several times and have always been happy. The location is wonderful and the staff are pleasant.
We noticed they had done some renovations which is great but the floorboards in our room were sticking up all over the place and the room smelled like a used life jacket. Also the heat/ac unit is extremely loud and the bed was not comfortable at all. But as far as motels are concerned it’s a very nice option especially if you have a pet.

Access to the ocean was wonderful. The room was spacious, clean and modern. The attached restaturant was a little pricey; however the food was outstanding and the service top flight. One small shortcoming was the size of the pillows (a litle small). All in all, an outstanding experience

In process of remodeling and we had one of the rooms that were partially done; it will be lovely when completed. The room was very clean and staff very friendly.
Look forward to perhaps staying here again once remodeling is completed.
