“Inconsistent”

I have stayed at this motel three times and had three different experiences:
The first time I stayed in Tofino, my husband and I decided to stay at the Pacific Breeze because we heard it was cheap. The owner has a thick accent but jokes around alot and seemed nice. He showed us our room, which had a jacuzzi and the room was clean. We had a great time!
We were in Tofino on another occasion while my sister was visiting. This time there was no jacuzzi but the room, again, was clean and we had a great sleep.
Last night my husband and I wanted to try something different but we went to a few other motels and everything was taken. We went to the Pacific Breeze and this time it was as bad as everyone has described. We were told to jump into the room if the door wouldn't open. We DID have to do this, and then when I tried to lock the window I saw there was no lock. In the bathroom the "window" was a piece of cardboard. The bathtub had rust stains, there was hair and dead mosquitoes all over the floor, the bed cover was terribly stained, the lampshade was supposed to be white but was brown with dust, the carpet was disgusting. I left my shoes on because I didn't want to walk around in my bare feet, and we didn't brush our teeth because we didn't want to use the taps...We paid $100 cash.
I think that if you're not one of the last rooms taken, you will have a good experience here, but if you end up getting one of the "reject rooms" then you're in for a paranoid, uncomfortable sleep.

Do not stay here. My room had no soap and no glass in the bathroom window. If the door didn't work i was told to just open the window and reach inside to unlock the door. 70's horror flick in deed! A total dump. Happiness was this crap trap in my review mirror. Never ever stay here.

“Thanks, but no thanks!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2009

Arriving in Tofino much later than expected, the lodging choices where somewhat limited. If this happens to you, don't even consider the Pacific Breeze Motel and sleep in your car instead! Yes, we were looking for a reasonably prices motel but one still expects a minimum of comfort. The bathroom offered a rusty tub decorated with mold growing happily in each corner and a couple creatures marching over the floor. The room itself is very plain. The one bed I tested sagged so much that it instantly pulled me to the centre. After we fled the scene it came to my mind that there was no "BC Approved Accommodation" sign posted and now we knew why.

We are from up island and thought, tofino for a night might be fun. You know those spur of the moment kind of trips?. Well this motel was and will be the worst place on earth for probably the next 40 years!!! No hot water, nothing was clean, and it reaked of --- I cant tell you what the smell was like, but it was terrible!! I would rather sleep on the street. My poor children have been tramatized and im sure will have nightmares for the rest of their lives!!!

“Let's not go over the top!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2009

It seems everyone turns up here as a last resort, as my girlfriend and I did when we spontaneously decided to stay overnight in Tofino.
They were the only place with a room vacant, and at $60 for us both, it was within budget.
The whole place seemed entrenched in the 70s, , the decor didn't seem to have been updated since then, but the owner was gregariously pleasant, the rooms were spacious, and although definitely not pristine, certainly clean enough! (No bed bugs, or previous occupants litter! I think some of these reviewers have never had to travel on a budget! I've had to stay in much, much worse)!
The best part was when we got up in the morning, and were greeted by the view from the untidy, but massive verandah!
It really is in a lovely location!
Overall the place has the air of pleasant times past, which with the renovations being carried out, could be the case again!
Cheap and cheerful!
Don't expect much, and you won't be disappointed!
