I wanted a hotel near to the ferry terminal and this looked like just the place - it wasn't. The room decor was dated, and the bathroom chipped. The noise from the next room was clearly audible and even the hum of the fridge was loud enough to keep me awake. Overall it just didn't meet expectations given the cost of the room, which was comparable to other - much better - places I stayed in while visiting British Columbia.

If you reserve a room at the Beach Grove Motel – beware – you might get charged an unposted cancellation fee.

I booked a room directly with the motel over the phone for 3 friends in early September 2010 and left my credit card number for the reservation. I wanted to pay for the balance with my credit card but was told that wasn’t possible and my friends staying in the room would need to use their credit card for that. After my friends checked out some online reviews of the Beach Grove Motel, they decided they absolutely did not want to stay there. When I phoned the motel a day after making the reservation (and the day before the reserved date) to cancel, I was told there was a 24 hour cancellation policy and would be charged the full $89.00. Since there’s no mention on the Beach Grove Motel website of cancellation fees and I wasn’t told anything about a cancellation fee when I booked the room, I told the manager I didn’t want to pay any fees. His response was that 24 hour cancellation fees are common in the motel industry. When I pressed further on this, I was told he would reduce the cancellation fee to $50.00 if he was unable to find someone else to book that particular motel room for that night.

My friends also tried phoning the motel to cancel this reservation and even asked if the manager had turned down any bookings in the 24 hour period I had booked the room and then cancelled. They were told that no one had been denied that room at the motel because of my reservation.

In the end I was charged $45.00 for a motel room not used by my friends or me (seems like a cash grab to me). Not cool. Don’t book at the Beach Grove Motel. Stay at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn instead.

i dont know about these other reviews, we had three rooms booked at this motel for our whole family of 8, over the may long weekend and we were happy with our rooms which had new beds, kitchenettes to cook and were newly painted.
we would definetely stay here again. the staff was friendly and we had a gr8 time visitting family and friends.

Motels room was unclean and friends who booked a room with us at the motel found a hyperdermic needle in the fridge!! Steer clear of this one!!!
