Guest Reviews

• Dennis (9/5): -
• Schubert (6/5): - The room was clean, the staff friendly Over priced
• Barbara (8/5): Great place , clean, cute and well priced , would definitely stay again -
• Tracy (7/5): Suitable for overnight stop. - Clean, comfortable. Good for overnight stop. Good soundproofing, was right on highway but we could not hear the traffic. Billboard stated newly renovated rooms but I’d say my room (202) was renovated some time ago. Coffee machine mouldy. Tried to clean with shampoo but it needs to go in the dishwasher a few times or be replaced.
• Ryan (7/5): -
• Elzbieta (7/5): -
• Jordy (10/5): - The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The whole experience was very positive and I’d happily stay there again. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anybody who needs a place to stay in that area.
• Heather (7/5): - No surprises...you got what you paid for.
• Nancy (6/5): It was adequate and did the job for the rate. - No Breakfast but restaurant near by but not open a couple days a week. Staff were great. Easy access to everywhere by car. Lots of blankets and bed was very comfortable. I could tell they are trying to improve and upscale their motel but still have a way to go. Heater air conditioner super loud. No blinds on window, just see through curtains. Very disconcerning especially as a woman traveling alone. So the extra blankets came in handy to cover the window.
• Janette (7/5): - Comfy beds, nice people, great location! The place is old and tired and had nothing to see out the window.
• Stephanie (8/5): Cute little motel with great staff in a great location. - Cute little motel on the highway, perfect for an evening to enjoy after the theatre. The diner next door is a must visit as well. Bed was comfy, room was clean, had everything you needed for a quick stay.
• Gloria (7/5): - There was a big grassy area which was perfect for my dog. The beds were super comfortable and we had a good night's sleep. It was a stop partway to a venue so we didn't have to do all the driving late at night. The building was older but I expected it would be.
• Teresa (9/5): Great little rest stop. Mary (Ann or Jane, sorry) in housekeeping was very nice, upbeat and helpful. - Convenient, clean, comfortable and pretty quiet. Exactly like a motel should be like!
• Lorena (8/5): -
• Leslie (9/5): Totally underrated little gem of a stay! - Great location for antiquing, excellent restaurant right next door, room clean, quiet and comfortable, pet-friendly Nothing
• Ashley (8/5): - Location is good Would be nice to have some hooks in bath room to hang stuff
• Daniel (8/5): Nice and quiet. - Easy access
• Susser (7/5): -
• Darlene (8/5): -
• Gabriel (4/5): - The motel was well located in Chimanious. Beds were comfy, and staffs were nice. We didn't have hot water in our suite.
• Christopher (8/5): - Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room , appreciated the mini fridge and lots of parking . No ice machine or vending machine
• SIDNEY (6/5): - Bed was comfortable There was no hot water one morning. There were sugar ants living under the base of the lamp on the night table. They came out to visit when the light was disturbed

• Lorne (9/5): - Easy access of Highway 1. Large and well lit parking area. Rooms and bathroom clean. Air conditioned rooms were very comfortable. Rooms were quiet and restful. A restaurant was next door to the facility. Advertised breakfast was scanty.
• Lorne (10/5): - The place is comfortable,clean,with a good price .Staff are friendly and helpful,and have done many improvements. Great to see!

• Charles (7/5): -
• William (7/5): -
• Nicola J (8/5): -
• anita (6/5): - They were very helpful at organising a late check in. We had been warned the door was a bit stiff but we struggled to even get the door unlocked. We were at the stage of giving up and thinking we would be spending the night in our vehicle. Thankfully eventually managed to get the well jammed lock to open.
• Michelle (7/5): -
• John (7/5): -
• Lorne (9/5): - Easy to find and easy access from highway. Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable room. Bathroom clean. No breakfast. Nearby restaurant did not open until 9am.
• Trish (10/5): - Quiet
• bon (1/5): Keep driving to nanimo - Location was close to other towns The price was crazy also charged me for everyday my pets stayed with me ,it was not worth the money I paid for 5 days ,was almost 1000 dollars ,and the place was old I could see out the bottom of my door ,the cleaning lady was awesome, and friendly, not worth the price better options in nanimo,
• Chris (7/5): Classic old roadside motel! - The Motel was a classic old roadside Motel. The room was clean, but a bit worn. The manager was super nice and helpful. Oh, just a bit tattered here and there. It was right on the highway, but we didn't notice any noise in the room.
• Matt From Tas (9/5): Relaxed comfortable stay at a bargain price. - Clean comfortable accommodation which was centrally located to all of the attractions along the Cowichan coast. Island ferries and the art installations in Chemainus were a highlight The location meant traffic noise from Highway 1 was ever present, and the room door sticks.
• Devoni (5/5): - Very kind, helpful staff. Rooms were adequate. For our needs. Could’ve been a little bit cleaner. Beds and bathroom were very clean, but kids found a used fork under one bed and a barrette under the other bed.
• Adam Kanczula (8/5): -
• Malventi (5/5): -
• francois (3/5): Motel vieillot et mal équipé situé en bordure d'une route très passante. A éviter - Rien Tout : Motel viellot, sombre, équipements défectueux, moquette sale, placé en bordure d'une route TRES BRUYANTE et passante.
• Plante (7/5): -
• Marie (8/5): Comfy room. Enjoyed the "Real" coffee cups. - Staff friendly and accommodating. Able to park in front of room. Chairs to sit outside. Internet wasn't the greatest.
• Sunstone2010 (9/5): Superb - it is remodeled and clean and comfortable. despair of next to highway, it's quite. room is small.
• Flavio (8/5): Good value - Good location, good beds and plenty of parking. Good to walk outside in the facility. The place was safe and close to good restaurants and breweries. Did not like the wall air conditioner in bedroom, as it was noisy. Reception available in site only after 3 pm check in time, although were very kind. No additional features, like laundry or vending machine. No outlets available to recharge cell phones.
• Lisa (8/5): Good value, comfortable motel on a busy highway - Basic but comfortable motel accommodation outside delightful Chemainus. The motel itself is right on the noisy highway. We arrived with our bikes, which meant crossing the highway. We walked over the Fuller Lake for a swim (wonderful!), which also required crossing the highway. But the bed was comfortable, the staff were friendly, and the diner next door was convenient for breakfast.
• Gagne (8/5): Very good - Rooms were renovated. Lots of parking! Night lights around the motel were very nice. Bed was Comfortable. Freezer in fridge needed defrosting.
• Kelly (7/5): Good - It was ok Not many amenities
• Jason (5/5): Passable -
• Debra (6/5): The staff were helpful and nice - Location was good, the housekeeping was good The shower in our room didn’t work
• Gerald (6/5): Pleasant - Property was a bit overpriced for the services provided.
• Christine (6/5): Pleasant - Comfortable and clean Convenient location for our needs. Top sheet missing in right side bed. Light bulb out on right bedside lamp.
• Kral (8/5): Very good -
• Duane (7/5): Good -
• Valerie (7/5): Good -
• Sidney (8/5): Very good - Loud road noise all night, needed to keep window closed
• John (5/5): Passable - Location was good The Booking.com posted that this location had both a washer and dryer for laundry. It had neither. We had booked this location specifically because both were listed as available, but apparently this has not been true for some time. We had to drive all the way to Nanaimo to find a working laundromat. The one in Ladysmith had only one working washing machine, and the dryers ran very hot, so said the owner.
• Wendy (4/5): Disappointing - Too close to the highway, dingy room and bedside table lamp hard to turn on with lampshades all needing to be replaced. But clean and good value.
• Bruce (7/5): The room met our needs and we would stay again. - We liked that it was beside the highway we driving on. Lots of linens, and the bed was comfortable. It had a mini fridge and microwave, which are necessities for us. Gas station and restaurant nearby. The room was very dark, it needed more lighting. The curtains did not cover the windows from edge to edge.
• Wendy (9/5): Superb -
• Patricia (5/5): Passable - Comfortable bed and good quality linen. Lots of road noise due to proximity to the highway. Very tired bathroom. No kettle or glasses, no milk or black tea teabags.very squeaky timber floor under old carpet. Outdoor areas unkempt.
• Shari (7/5): Good -
• Julie (7/5): Good -
• Samantha (8/5): Very good - Convenient location on a road trip road the island, room was a good size and clean. The shower head leaked, so pressure wasn't great, pillows werent comfy (too big and bulky, crooked my neck). When checking in they didn't know how much I was paying, not sure if their system was down or not, but they filed out a paper form and asked me what room I booked and what rate...
• Neil (7/5): Good -
• Rita (9/5): Staff friendly and efficient. Rooms were spotless and super clean! - As advertised! Very clean and new upgrades to room were most comfortable! Road noise was quite loud. Seemed to come thru the window AC/heating unit as it’s not completely sealed off due to venting requirements. Outside traffic noise settled after 10:30 pm and resumed about 7 am. Can’t be helped, but it was bit disruptive for sleep in an otherwise quiet and accessible location.
• Katherine (7/5): Good price good staff comfortable clean - Close to Crofton mill. Liked I could pull right up to room to watch truck as well as take in luggage. Clean comfortable old style motel Nothing
• Mike (8/5): Very good -
• Mackie (6/5): It was very quiet and comfortable the staff was great very accommodating and pleasant - The location was good It was not clean under the beds the rest of the room was good
• Rogers (6/5): Pleasant -
• Caitlin (8/5): Very good -
• Eva (8/5): Very good -

• John (6/5): Pleasant -
• Michaela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charmaine (7/5): Good -
• Sau (2/5): The room should have been cleaned. Dim light - Only basic need are supplied. Hospitality.
• Heidi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christian (8/5): Very good - Nice location They charge a deposit which blocks your credit card for at least two weeks
• Samantha (5/5): Won’t go there again - It was a convenient location They were doing renovations starting at 9 am
• Kantor (7/5): Basic accommodations, clean, nice quiet outdoor space with picnic tables. - Great outdoor area for relaxation and exercising my dog. Comfortable bed and pillows. Clean room. Nice size fridge. Nice size desk. Small TV but worked well. Air conditioner in room blew right onto the bed and the filter I could see inside the unit was dirty. Outlet for the air conditioner was an external electrical box hanging by a cord which didn't look safe. Water pressure for the sink was low.
• Lorne (8/5): Very good -
• John (8/5): Very good -
• Susan (4/5): Badly needs an update - Beds were comfortable. Location was excellent. Front counter young man was very friendly and helpful. Room was very run down. Carpet was filthy. Room needs an update. The kleenex box in the bathroom was from 2005! Room for 4 was extremely small. The little table had only 2 chairs. When we asked for 2 more chairs they said we could not have them.
