“Great hospitality and clean rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2009

We stayed in the Maquinna Lodge for three nights, 15-16-17 May 2009. We payed a super low rate of 65 Can $ for the room, which was nice and clean. That is cheaper than a private room the International (Youth) Hostel in Tofino, which had no vacancies. My wife and I enjoyed our stay here, as it gave us freedom to stay in the dining room, use the Internet for free, and drink lots of free coffee in the morning. (no breakfast or dinner provided). In our view the owner and his son were extremely friendly and helpfull. The roms were cleaned every day, and the towels were replaced daily.
In our view: good value for your money, especially in the springtime.

“Overpriced and smelly!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2008

Rather worringly, this place was recommended by the local tourist office, and as we arrived fairly late and had few options we booked it without seeing it. Paid $150 plus tax for a 'queen' room, which had not been redecorated since the 1970s and, being generous, cleaned some time in the 90s!

Do yourselves a favour and don't repeat our mistake - Tofino is incredibly busy in Summer, so if you decide to come on a whim and don't book ahead, you too could be the unhappy punter who is forking over decent money for an indecent hotel. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!

“Why are hotels worse than hostels?”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2007
1
person found this review helpful

Average price $75 my foot. We went to Tofino and everything was booked. This was the only place we could find so the price was jacked up, so much for a nice community. Tofino was lovely, but certainly not at first. We paid $150 for 2 single beds in a room which had hideous wallpaper which didn't match the ugly carpet. Every hostel we stayed at on the island was cheaper and much nicer than this place. Some of the rooms, not our fortunatley, are above a bar which plays loud music at night. Book in advance when you go to Tofino and don't book here.

“Old but clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2007

With a very competitive price, the quality given is above average. Their style is consider old, but the condition is very clean. There is no kitchen, but a huge lobby with coffee, microwave and free internet service is provided.
This location is very convinient to all the activities you can enjoy. Also, the staffs are very kind and honest. They will not lie the quality of the hotel, such as they will tell us ahead that they only have 2 rooms left, one is with no view, but the environment will be very quiet. Otherwise, the other room is 2 floors above the pub, which can be very noisy, but it has the view to enjoy. We end up picking the room with no view, but we have a good night sleep.
If you plan to relax, then this will not be my first choice because the condition is only average. But if you are only looking for a place to sleep and shower, this is a very good place to stay.
