Hotel 2 Bintang di Tofino

Nous avons passé une nuit au Best Western. Pour les éléments positifs; la chambre est grande et plutôt bien équipée (kitchenette avec frigo, bouilloire, micro-ondes) même si sans aucun cachet (décoration très basique). On dispose également d'une petite terrasse avec table de jardin. Le cadre est très joli avec vue et accés à une belle plage et au superbe coucher de soleil. La personne présente à la réception est adorable et très serviable. L'hôtel possède une laverie avec machines et sèche-linge très pratique et à des tarifs peu élevés, pratique pour des séjours longs. Par contre, pour le tarif appliqué, certains basiques n'y sont pas: la chambre n'est pas très propre à notre arrivée, sol encore couvert d'une pellicule de sable et ménage sommaire (le dessous du lit et le dessous des meubles ou sièges n'est pas fait..). Aucune équipe de maintenance sur place, notre télévision ne fonctionnait pas, heureusement la personne de la réception nous a aidés. Aucune offre de bar (quel dommage pour le cadre) ou de restauration en dehors du petit déjeuner...

When driving up to the motel we wondered what we got ourselves into. But we were pleasantly surprised by the room, including the view and location. The double beds felt like the smallest double beds we had ever had. For two adults it is tight fit on one bed. There is a microwave, kettle and coffee machine. They even had creamers in the fridge for the coffee and tea they provided. Such a nice touch. A small ice machine is available on the main level. I can’t stress enough how amazing the location is. We could walk everywhere. The only time we drove was to the beach. Even our whale watching trip was just down the road. I would definitely stay here again.

What a disappointment. Located in a beautiful area, and close to shops, harbour and main town, but the room was very average at best. The bed linen was awful, very cheap and nylon feeling. The pillows were weird, they were small and square, more suited to a sofa and smelt funny. Good storage/wardrobe space but the drawers only stayed shut when empty. When you put your clothes in they slid open all the time. We kept them closed by using the maps provided and jamming them in. The room and bathroom had a very strange smell, and we weren’t the only ones that made this complaint. The hallway carpet was filthy and needed a good clean. No views from our room, except the car park. Our room was not suitable for those with mobility issues, lots of stairs and a steep hill.

This hotel was very funky, different than a typical hotel with a very fun vibe to it. It’s incredibly inclusive, and the front desk staff were all so positive. It’s not ocean-front but it’s worth the stay just for the good vibes!
