Not my typical choice for a hotel but good if you’re not too fussy. Room was clean and comfortable.
Paul, 1-night trip

JONGRAN, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Arrived at location to find the main office door locked, needed to ring a bell to be let in. Site didn’t feel safe or secure at all. Room assigned was in terrible condition, damaged flooring in multiple areas, trim missing, questionable air quality in the room, moisture issues in the bathroom which looked like there had been an attempt to paint over. We made the choice to leave after 15mins and find another place to stay for our visit.

Tyson, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Awesome staff!! :) This motel used to be a dump, unsafe, and I normally wouldn’t stay here, however, the new owners that took over just over a year ago, have made it so much better! Rooms have been renovated & look great. The beds are comfortable. There is a security gate from 12am to 5am to block anyone from going in or out of the property (they will open it if you need to leave) I travel alone and my last THREE trips I have made to the Cowichan Valley, I have stayed here. HIGHLY recommend 😁

Kathleen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean and comfortable. Older hotel but renovated. The area is nice but it's a bit rough
kurtis, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It needs some paint and the bathrooms were clean, but falling apart basically. Even the walls were marked up and the floors weren't clean
Jim and Dell, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is not a Fairmobt or Holiday Inn but if you want a clean and cheap stay then this is it. Room was simple but clean. Nights were quiet and bed was comfortable. This not a fancy place and the neighbourhood is sketchy at best but staff are friendly and helpful. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby.
Sandy, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Good, the bad and the ugly

Good, bad & the ugly. Photos of the place online are the best thing about this place. The lady checking us in was very helpful. That is the good. The bad: the area is sketchy; my wife said “this is a dump” as soon as we arrived. The place is run down, in need of major upgrades, and overpriced! The ugly: some of the tenants don’t seem to have cars and appear to be long-term tenants that didn’t pay the $194 per night that I paid and some guy was yelling “Turn off the air conditioner” and banging on the walls for 30 minutes. I was ready to phone the cops.

Ok
Fiona, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We arrived early as my husband was under the weather. He was asleep by 5:30. They had work to do outside our room, but rather than just start it, the manager called me to ask permission to drill outside our room. I told her my husband was already asleep, and she honored that. Impressive. The room was clean and fresh.
Debbie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was very accomodating.
Tina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I did not understand the directions to enter our room because the email referenced the name of the room, but itonly had a number. We did figure it our, but I believe that issue is fixed now! The room was really great. We loved the location, the decor. We were repeat visitors to Alert Bay- last time we camped- this was much more fun
Anne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect place to stay in Duncan while visiting winery in the area. The room was clean and spacious. Unfortunalty our room was right next to the reception on the main floor, so it was a bit noisy (could hear foot steps on the 2nd floor and people talking around). Overall, I highly recommand this hotel.
