“Immaculate!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

This hotel not only has superiour customer service but also has the cleanest hotel room I have ever stayed in. I believe most rooms have kitchen/cooking facilities. Breakfast in the am was delicious with all food being replentished by onsite employees. Hotel is close to downtown theatre which is a 5 minute walk so leave your car parked for free at the hotel and go enjoy what Chemainus has to offer.

Room Tip: ask for room away from elevator

Dear previous Guest;

Your comments are VERY much appreciated.
The tripadvisor comment form and direct feedback are often the only way that we hear from

Again thank you, we will pass the survey on to our staff; they I am sure will also be most appreciative.

“Great hotel, free upgrade”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Great hotel, near new and the complimentary upgrade to a corner suite was appreciated. Lovely salt water pool and breakfast buffet where you can make your own Belgian waffles. Each hotel suite is shared by part-owners throughout the year, and rented out when vacant. This means it is furnished and maintained at a higher level compared to a traditional hotel, leading to great value for the room rate. Only remark is if you need to travel to Duncan, the highway commute at night is a little tricky for newcomers since there is no street lighting or signs to forewarn of upcoming curves (the locals claim they do not notice this deficit since they are so used to the road). No onsite restaurant and businesses close early in Chemainus, so make arrangements to eat in Duncan or buy groceries to prepare in the fully equipped kitchenette.

Dear Guests;
Thank you for your kind review!!
Feedback from our guests is an important tool for us in evaluating our service and facilities.
For those that read this, please know that the Trip to Duncan 15-20 minutes is actually the Island
Highway #1.
We have two restuarants across the street from the hotel along with a grocery and a liquor store for your convenience and yes indeed cook in your room or order in.
The hotel is a strata hotel but our guests come firsts and owner can only stay at daily reduced rates no eligible or specific time periods that they can stay.

Again thank you, we are most appreciative for your observations.

“Best Mid Island Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

i visit the area on business and stay at this hotel appoximately 6 times per year.
The property is modern, has an outdoor parking lot with plenty of space, with some view rooms.

The staff and accommodations are excellent. The rooms are mostly suites ( two TV's!), with bedrooms with sliding doors. The beds are comfortable, internet connection is strong, lots of thought went into the layout of the rooms. The rooms are quite large, nicely furnished and attractive.

There is no restaurant, but a breakfast, including hot items isincluded.

The rates can be quite high, but only a few dollars more than the nearest equivalent hotels in Duncan ( e.g. Best Western), so shop around different sites before booking.

If you need to stay mid island and want a big step up from the other alternatives, this is a great choice.

Superb comments! Thank you so much and yes, you are right
we may charge a few dollars more, but the value in comparison is
so much higher due to the room styles, indoor mineral pool, hot tub,
fitness center, internet, parking and the full free breakfast buffet.
We constantly compare our room rates with competing mid Island hotels
to stay competitive and especially when you book well in davance or
multiple nights you likely pay less per night.

“Our Home Away From Home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

We love to go to our home away from home. We have been going for the last six years at least once a year sometimes three times a year. We love the smiling faces and the great service from the time we enter to when we leave. The Inn is so clean,very quiet,all the comforts of home right down to the great buffet breakfast.Never any problems parking just pull up and park. We love also that you can get out for a nice little walk and visit the cute little town and have a nice meal and see a great show. We would recommend this Inn to everyone who wants to have a great get a way.

Room Tip: Rooms facing the parking lot are nice and bright. We like the fourth floor

Thank you for your kind rating!
These online comments and direct feedback are often the only way that we hear from
valuable guests such as yourself, and these are a way for us to become aware of
inefficiencies that may have crept into our people oriented service operation.
Again thank you, we will pass the survey on to our staff; they I am sure will also be most appreciative. As you know positive word of mouth is vital to people thinking of booking any hotel.
Via our package website link you can find other reasons to visit or to give our Inn as a gift to friends. Thank You!

“Luxury in a small town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2011

Love, love this hotel. I've been to many hotels in my life and this was by far the nicest. Plush top of the line beds with comfy downy comforters, excellent fall to sleep pillows, quiet, extremely clean, large, different layouts including my room that had 2 TV's, a couch, kitchenette plus Queen bed all for around $130. I would highly recommend BW. Chemainus is a little town but if you drive around towards the water you will be pleasantly surprised by some of the quaint Victorian looking houses, beautiful views and awesome restaurants. Enjoy!
