Hotels in outline areas are always wanting for professional staff and management. Tin Wis perhaps as a requirement of the Best Western standard fairs very well for a generally ordinary property. Everything worked. Staff were pleasant. Food maybe not high end but good overall. Beds were great! Rooms very clean, quiet, and well appointed. I am a seasoned traveler and... More

On arrival they had the wrong booking dates. I wasn't happy after the 4 hours drive from Victoria! They quickly and efficiently sorted it out though and the room we got was fab. It had open views of the beach area and sea. It rolled on forever and it was great to sit out on the balcony watching the sea.... More

I stopped by to check out lodging availability, but decided to stay elsewhere, not because of the resort, which looked nice, but because of the unfriendly, arrogant, know-it-all attitude of one of the front desk staff members. It was clear that he did not care about my business, so I left, and found another (nicer) resort nearby.

Please accept my apologies, for the poor service and attitude you experienced with one of my Guest Services staff. This is certainly not indicative of the staff here at the resort, and not acceptable. I will discuss your comments with the employee. Please contact me directly so I may apologize and perhaps I can offer you a complimentary night stay... More

Spectacular ocean view rooms with cozy fireplace and lovely deck. Run by first nations band and the employees are very warm and friendly. North coast aboriginal decor. A genuine nice place. Great housekeeping staff who taught us a few words of the local aboriginal language. A very welcoming and comfortable place to stay with small kitchenette. Loved it

My husband and I stayed 6 nights, from Mar 18-24, 2012. We had a king suite with kitchenette on 3rd floor in building C. I'd recommend the location on MacKenzie Beach. Beautiful beach views right outside our balconey! The room was spacious, clean, cozy gas fireplace, and the kitchenette was very handy (fridge, 2 burner stove, microwave, and all the... More

We stayed at the Best Western Tin Wis for 3 nights of our 2 week trip to Canada. I have to say first impressions of the hotel on arrival were not fantastic - the hotel's external appearance seemed a little dated & needing a little attention. However, after a long drive, we were greeted by friendly front desk staff and... More

We really enjoyed staying at this motel. The view is fantastic! It is clean, quiet and comfortable. As with many Best Westerns, it is a motel trying hard for respect. We recommend it. The room and bathroom are a bit small, but acceptable. We also liked the free wi-fi, laundry and free parking. Our first impression was not the best... More

We went in the off season and were disappointed in some ways. Our room was clean and comfy, but not fully stocked. We had one package of decaf coffee. The dining room wasn't open for dinner (we were not told this in advance) and when we went for breakfast, our waiter got both of our orders wrong. The scenery was... More
