Guest Reviews

• Rhys (10/5): Woke up at the schooner, broke up at the schooner - The connected bar/restaurant. Server was gas Nothing
• Nancy (6/5): Overpriced for the lack of amenities, however the bed was clean and comfortable which is always my main concern. - Location was great Very old, without any updates. The stick on tiles were coming off the wall in the bathroom. The room had a bit of an odor and we stayed two nights and the room was not refreshed at all. The staff barely spoke to us and were not friendly at all.
• Seyedsaeed (10/5): -
• Esperanza (8/5): Ok - There was no breakfast provided No coffee or tea service in the room.
• Inge (6/5): -
• Catalina (5/5): Good for just one night. Kind of overrated for what it offers. - The location. Great location super close to the beach Old furniture, very noisy bed and mattress, not good sound isolation, lack of privacy, reception not very friendly.
• Joana (8/5): -
• Mohammad (1/5): - The location is good. Very disappointing experience. I stayed here hoping to get some rest, but the guests next door were extremely loud until around 3:00 AM and seemed drunk and possibly under the influence of drugs. I could not sleep at all and had to leave early in the morning completely exhausted. I contacted the motel and requested a fair resolution, but they refused to refund me. I also provided photos of the guests’ belongings left outside, and they have security cameras that could verify what happened. If you are planning to stay here, be prepared that you may face this kind of situation, and the motel may not take responsibility afterward. Not recommended.
• Gayle (4/5): -
• chris (10/5): - In the center of town close to everything
• serllo (7/5): Très bien, mais un peu cher. - Pas de petit déjeuner, l'emplacement impeccable. L'insonorisation des lieux.tres
• Lorraine (5/5): -
• Kim (10/5): Great experience - Beautiful
• Chris (9/5): It was an excellent, quiet and restful stay. The staff were very helpful. -
• Purushothaman (5/5): - location comfort
• Lorna (7/5): - Great location, clean, tidy and the staff were very nice!
• Andreas (7/5): - Very nicely located, right in the center of Tofino. Has come to an age where probably some of the furniture and specifically the carpets should be changed.
• Kara (8/5): -
• Daryl (7/5): -
• Marion (5/5): - The location was good but the pillows need to be replaced on the bed. The location was good but the pillows need to be replaced on the bed.
• Dorota (7/5): -
• Navkiran (5/5): - Location Marijuana smell ,
• Paolo (10/5): -
• Lonneke (7/5): Mooie locatie maar kan wel wat optimalisatie gebruiken - Uitzicht en locatie Hygiëne en beddengoed
• Joergen Kofoed (7/5): -
• Ribeiro (8/5): -
• truus (10/5): Een aanrader, snap niet waarom het zo laag in de ranking staat, hebben vast veel verbeterd - Leuke kamer, goed bed
• Dayne (3/5): Moist, cold, dark, damp. - The price. Takes the cake for the nastiest motel I’ve ever stayed in. I didn’t touch anything. I wore my jeans to bed because I didn’t want to get a rash.
• Rochelle (3/5): very disappointed with hotel condition - the location was the best feature ... the hardwood floor felt like it was sponge was afraid we might fall through the floor into the next room and the curtains were falling off the hooks on both ends of the rod. they were old and in need a major update. there were no phones in the room, no coffee in the room.
• Deborah (6/5): I only needed a one night stay and with no minimum length- that was great for me-most hotels there have longer minimum s - The location is right in Tofino The facility is definitely showing its age. Ok if you do not mind that
• Yara (9/5): Super, kann ich empfehlen - Alles, war super von der Lage, den Prakplätzen und der Hygiene her. Die Steckdosen waren etwas wackelig aber ansonsten war es super.
• MELISA (8/5): I would say it's ok stay just not my choice going forward - Close to everything! Walking distance to all the special places. Clean. Friendly enough staff. I get the feeling the place is old but in decent shape. It was quite quiet. A bit dated, the bed was very hard compared to all the places we have stayed at along the way from alberta. I did not sleep well. Only one pillow per person. All other hotels/ motels have 2 per person. Comical with all the noted posted for fines for dishes, cooking certain foods and Lack of water at certain times
• Consciousness (1/5): - Free parking in tofino The flys and bedbugs
• Bang (2/5): -
• Perez (8/5): - Very good location
• Guest (3/5): -
• Janina (8/5): -
• Charlotte (7/5): Peaceful stay with amazing view - This hotel is probably in the best location of any we saw - amazing views from the second story out over the sound, across the road from the grocery store and less than 10 minutes walk to all the "downtown" restaurants. The main road isn't very busy so it wasn't loud at night. Check in and check out was easy and quick. The room was so big with the bathroom around the corner from the bedroom for even better privacy. We liked having kitchen facilities, a table, a couch, and a big bed. The oven in our room had a sign saying it was broken so we couldn't use it. It was a bit of a shame because we would have liked to use it. The mattress felt cheap and hard but I didn't mind it too much. If you're someone who likes a soft bed you might want to reconsider staying here. The room itself felt a bit dated and "budget", the walls were peeling and damaged in places, the lino on the floor was really squeaky and moved as we walked, and the smoke detecter was hanging from the roof by a thread (literally!).
• Gary (7/5): acceptable - all was OK. I stayed there before s it is downtown.
• Anthony (3/5): heureusement que nous avions une seule nuit - La localisation de l'hôtel est top. C'est la seule chose que nous avons aimé lors de notre séjour. L'hotel est bien situé. Le problème est que l'hôtel et la chambre étaient sales. Les chambres étaient vieilles avec une mauvaise odeur. La salle de bain était également sale et j'ai du nettoyer la douche avant car il y avait des mouches dedans
• Dera (10/5): What a beautiful view - Check in was quick and easy and you can't beat the location. I'm a very early riser so waiting til 8 for coffee anywhere, was something I wasn't prepared for but I figured out an alternative
• Lee (8/5): -
• Leona (7/5): - Owner very friendly, very central location Outside stairs up to second floor could use a little bit of attention/work as they are very old.
• Leon (10/5): Great stay again !! - Location and hotel layout N/A
• Leon (10/5): Very happy had a great time 👍 - Owner was polite and accommodating. N/A
• Robert (4/5): - Downtown location so you could go out and not have to drive back to your lodging! There were three great dining places within easy walking distance! Heat was marginal! The electric fireplace with fan didn’t work! The linoleum tiles in the bathroom fell off and just poorly done renovation!
• Hannah (10/5): Loved it, will want to stay here if I ever come back! - Loved it. So close to the centre and the beach. Private and so comfy. When we first checked in it would’ve been good for the receptionist to tell us where the tea and coffee was. But apart from that it was great!
• Pascal (7/5): - La situation dans le village et un peu en hauteur La literie n'avait pas une odeur de propre
• Sunok (10/5): It was clean and comfortable bed and a good location - Excellent location
• Carrie (2/5): Never again. - Location. We were called at 6:30 pm to tell us they were closing at 7pm and if we arrived after they closed we would be charged an extra $50. Unfriendly.
• Jason (1/5): Nonstarter and insulting - Lied about reasons they cancelled my reservation and hotels.com let them See above
• Penny (5/5): Was alright...not sure I'd go back...especially now the prices have gone up considerably. - Location, view. No carpets (except a runner). Clean. If you're looking for just a place to lay your head.. no problem. Having to walk up rickety outside stairs with all my luggage (staff could have advised me to use the sturdy central stairwell that I wasn't aware existing until after my two trips up with my stuff .). Floor planking is not down solidly and pinches your foot between the planks. Carpet runner to the bathroom wasn't flat and was a tripping hazard (I had to block it with a chair so I wouldn't trip at night). No coffee pot (glad I brought my own melita filter & coffee), just a kettle and small fridge as advertised.
• Merik (6/5): Fine. Better than expected or the other reviews made it out to be. -
• Nancy (1/5): -
• Natalie (5/5): -
• alex (10/5): -
• Thomas (1/5): Will not come back. - Comfortable bed. Close to shops. Service was rude and unfriendly. Lots of weird rules with outrageous penalties for breaking. Everything was old and the room smelled of cigarettes. Found hair in bedsheets.
• Karen (6/5): This a convenient central place to stay but the amenities and daily housekeeping do not exist. - This place is so centrally located in Tofino. They never came and cleaned the room during our three day stay. There was no coffee in the room. No one helped us with our bags which we needed on tghe second floor.
• Angelika (6/5): -
• jonathon (8/5): Excellent value for cost - Excellent value. Modest room, but very clean and quiet and location is perfect
• Yvonne (5/5): - The location is great. Unfriendly staff. The room was cold. The shower door can not closed when taking a shower. Coffee service in the morning was too late and said after 8:30 in the morning..No air circulation in the washroom.
• RICHARD (7/5): -
• JO-ANNE (5/5): Had a lot better but a few worse - Location was good No one answered the phone when I called to confirm we were booked. I received many distressing messages from booking.com that my card was declined. So I had no idea if we had a place or not. Only one key provided and the door automatically locks after you.
• Frederique (9/5): -
• Bob (8/5): -
• Martin (10/5): Was in Tofino for a show and this was perfect perfect. Sometimes it can be impossible to get a ride - Can't beat the location. Ocean view, and close to all of the better food options for Tofino. Tonquin beach and first Street dock are well within walking distance too.
• Margaret (1/5): - No coffee, no breakfast....unhappy with everything at the motel. Everything.
• Kenneth (8/5): This motel met my expectations plus. - Room was quite spacious . Table and chairs were welcomed as well as fridge and extra pillows. Bathroom was clean and nice hot water for shower. Enjoyed our stay. Coffee room was also appreciated.
• Sarah (3/5): -
• Keith (10/5): -
• Harwinder (5/5): -
• Daryl (10/5): Nice room for price I keep coming back - Location Is what it is
• Daryl (8/5): Very good - The location and the room was very good quiet and I would come again Really no complaints
• Ashley (2/5): It was awful, never stay here! - Nothing other than the location The smell! Musky smell throughout the whole motel, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is mold growing in the walls. The pillows were old, stained and lumpy, and covered in about five pillow cases so you couldnt see the stained pillow underneath, how hard is it to be new pillows from Walmart! Beds were uncomfortable so both us barely slept, I wouldn’t have changed accommodation if it was possible to get a refund! Incredibly over priced for the experience we had. A sign was even below the tv saying you be fined $200 if you even plug in your laptop to watch a movie! What a lie there is no possible way telus would know a laptop has even been plugged in! There wasn’t even anyone in the reception to notify of the issues experienced as you simply left the key on the desk.
• Wiley (5/5): It was okay - N/A Old property. Old property odours
• Roderick (1/5): If I had a pet rat I would not let it stay there - They said there was coffee and tea in the morning but there was none Screens on the windows for fresh air Stop with all the threatening notices of fines if you take something or don’t wash your dishes with an incredibly dirty sponge they left for us i
• Joyce (9/5): -
• Richard (8/5): -
• Scott (7/5): Clean and well-located with an older style charm—slightly pricey for a dated motel, but still relatively affordable for - Very clean with a great location in Tofino. It is of a somewhat older style but that does add to its charm.
• Marie-Claude (4/5): Grand besoin d’amour! - La proximité avec les services Ce n’était pas propre (moisissures à la fenêtre, douche qui coule, toile d’araignée). Les matelas étaient très inconfortable. Il n’y avait que 2 serviettes pour 4 personnes
• Valentina (3/5): Hladno, recepcija ne govori, naplaćeno 167 dolara - Bilo je čisto. Hladno, nema grejanja u jednoj od soba. Recepcija slabo govori engleski. Naplatili su 167 dolara I nisu rekli zašto.
• John (1/5): - Manager ( owner? ) was difficult to deal with. There was a lineup of unhappy guests constantly grumbling in the lobby
• Jackie (5/5): - There were 2 towels for a party of 4, and signs everywhere in the room threatening to charge more if things were damaged or taken. Although this is reasonable, the message was hostile and untrusting, not customer service oriented. Also, this motel was old and showing its age. It was not dirty but has not been well maintained.
• Emmett (6/5): Dingy - The view Locked our key in the room one night and the owner was very upset to give us the spare key. I’m aware I made the mistake but this has to happen all the time.
• Greg (3/5): Don’t stay at this motel unless you are desperate and have money to burn - Location was convenient Very poor value for a lot of money. No maid service. No breakfast - not even coffee and a muffin. Stove in disrepair. Window could not be opened.
• Bell, RAc (10/5): The Best - This turned out to be a dream stay vacation, with a kitchenette in view of the downtown harbor of Tofino and the beautiful mountains and Islands in the distance, right across the street from a grocery store and walkable to one of the most beautiful beaches I've been to. The owners are wonderful and served tea and coffee by a warm fire in the mornings. This was such a precious experience at the Schooner Motel, that feels like a home away from home in the back of my mind that I'll always know is there.
• brett (10/5): -
• aniscal (10/5): It was pleasant. Although, please change the kettle because it is kind of rusted inside. Overall, was a pretty nice plac - Location. Situated in the middle of the town which everything accessible. The room was big and fairly clean.
• Beverley (7/5): -
• Rohel (9/5): -
• Martin (3/5): Won’t be back - Location I was sick on check out day so I was late leaving and you charged me $150
• John (5/5): Tofino and the surrounding area is beautiful and walkable! - The location Although we checked in with later, we still arrived during regular check in hours. The staff did not seem pleased about our late arrival even when it was communicated prior.
• Giesbrecht (10/5): - Older Property but it’s clean and great location
• Giesbrecht (10/5): Perfect - The price is great the property is older but clean nice staff and great location Nothing
• Thomas (3/5): -
• Girsbrecht (6/5): - It’s an older place. I mean you get what you pay for but it was clean. I enjoyed it. I come here all the time every time I meant to say no I stay here always the staff maybe isn’t talkative but you ask him a question they will help you. Really there wasn’t nothing. I didn’t like I got what I expected. No problem there.
• Glenda (6/5): Had a great time in Tofino. - Great location Staff not to friendly. No coffee machine in room.
• Tomich (7/5): very nice place for bugdet stay for 3 nights max - location of the accomodation staff was a little not accomodating. late night for the staff but not even tried to help
• Courtney (2/5): - The location was great. Dirty, you can’t get any help after 7 and sometimes they close early.
• Lydia (8/5): It’s really good - Location is good You need someone to help you carry all the luggage when you’re solo traveller but someone help me from the reception
