The hotel's exterior and interior design are not very elegant, the bathroom design is uncomfortable, and the device for putting bath gel is easy to fall off. I think it is better to stay in a motel not far away. The cost performance is not high.

Thanks so much for all the great feedback.We are sorry if you didn't love our Hotels Interior or Exterior Designs. We are also disappointed to hear that you had some trouble with our soap dispenser. Not fun.We are uncertain of what you mean by "The cost performance is not high" , however, we do try to keep our rates competitive with all local fixed roof accommodation providers. We hope that you and your crew had a groovy Tofino Adventure

I was very upset to find out that the hot tub and sauna was not in functioning condition upon checking in and remained out of order for the entirety of my stay. I would have preferred one of the rooms along the main hall with the separate shower bathroom and the skylight as opposed to being stuck in an end corner room seeing as there were so few occupants

We just love going to Tofino and we went this time just the two of us for my partners birthday weekend. When we checked into the room there was a lovely surprise for him.
