We stayed at Tough City for 2 nights in June, and it wasn't long enough. The Inn is located on the water front in Tofino, and offered great views from our room (#4) of the goings on in the harbour. Our room was spacious with a comfy bed, balcony, bathroom with a huge soaker tub. The room was clean and... more

It's not a resort, but if you're looking for a place to kickback and take your shoes on the deck then this is the place. It's a unique hotel and loved the service. Especially Francine at the Front Desk. Room was OK. We stayed in room and it has a nice view of the bay. The sushi at the Restaurant... more

Fabulous view from some of the rooms but a somewhat quirky hotel with an owner who is also equally strange. Rooms are OK but you have to be willing to be a bit flexible on the standard of cleaniness more

Enjoyable

This was a cute little place and very enjoyable stay for us. It is centrally located in the town of Tofino and would require a car drive to reach major beaches in the area. We found it to be clean, friendly, and good value for the money . Glad we stayed here instead of the Wick!. Crazy Ron was a... more

Crazy Ron, the proprietor was definitely a jovial pirate in a former life. He is not for the weak at heart, but if you have an open mind and an adventure is what you seek, Crazy Ron will not disappoint. The sushi at his restaurant is top notch and If you are lucky, Crazy Ron just might tell you his... more

I just recently returned from Tofino and a three night stay at the Inn at Tough City. Tofino was the subject of a national Canadian news story as the town's water supply was decreasing to a level that precipitated business closings and mass confusion. It also exacerbated some fundamental problems with the Inn. I telephoned before I even got there... more

We came up on the Inn at Tough City as our last resort if we wanted to visit Tofino. We ended up staying in two different rooms (#3 & #4) and were happy with both. #4 was a bit more money, but definitely worth it as it had a wonderful view of the ocean and harbour. The bathroom was also... more

When we first got there, I checked the beds in our bedroon and they weren't changed, it had hair in it, long hair and other hair, you know what I mean... We had the room at the front right above the sushi bar, it was very hot, it had a constant smell of some gas from the kitchen. We left... more

We had reviewed the website pictures and information and when booking the rooms asked specificially if the rooms were quiet (the only rooms available to us were over the sushi bar and facing the street) and were told that the bar closes at 10:00 and it is quiet after that. We needed to leave windows open as the rooms were... more
