“Motel not a resort”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

This “resort” is a motel, clean but in serious need of updating. Great prices but you get what you pay for, honestly was expecting a lot more based on the pictures I saw on the website. The rooms are nothing fancy, we stayed in the king suite with kitchenette on the third floor. The king bed was comfortable but did not fit the bedroom; we were unable to close the door to the room as it would not pass the corner of the bed. The kitchenette was minimally stocked and outdated, not a big deal as we didn’t use it during our stay. The couch in the living room was uncomfortable and well used; it was pushed against an armoire or old closet sticking out from the wall and right next to the fireplace making the living room area an awkward set up. The location is ideal as the motel is right on the marina and a short walk to the heart of Tofino. Jacks pub and the Green Room diner had great food and service. My only suggestion would be to get a room not facing Jacks pub. Can get very loud, we were able to hear word for word conversations, hooting and hollering coming from the back patio of the pub in our room. Have to admit it was a good source of humour at first but got annoying fast. Staff working at the motel were helpful and friendly, great stay if you are looking for reasonably priced accommodations in Tofino, but don’t come with high expectations.

“Affordable, Clean and Well Maintained”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

I spent two nights in November and found the motel to be clean and well maintained, and located by the water for those interested in fishing, boating and water adventures. The accommodation is within a 10 minute walk to restaurants and the town`s attractions. Jack`s Waterfront Pub and the Greenroom Diner also also located onsite.

Room Tip: If you are looking for basic, clean, well maintained accommodation in the town, this is the place.

“Great value & location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

We stayed two nights at Marina West. It was slow season and there weren't many guests, but all the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a better room at no charge. We had a queen suite, which had a small bedroom, kitchen along one wall and a sitting area looking over the Marina. It was clean and fairly recently redecorated. The furniture was perhaps a little worn, but certainly nothing to complain about. Perhaps because it was low season, we didn't have any issues with noise from adjacent units. The motel is no more than a 10 minute walk from "downtown" Tofino. We had dinner in their pub restaurant which was quite good. Over the winter they seem to have special offers through some of the online coupon companies, so keep your eye open!

Room Tip: Ask to see a few rooms, the desk staff was happy to oblige...

“Good value for the low price!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

The motel must have had a major overhaul, because the rooms are quite nice, with large screen tv, comfortable bed and big window view over looking the harbour. Currently they have a special on and I am kicking myself for not coming here a week prior, as I had been wrong in what I thought this motel was like...

but after a new paint job, and new rooms, it does not dissappoint. The bathrooms are still a little out dated, with fixtures that move about..that probably shouldn't...but otherwise it's got all you need. Bar fridge, microwave and lots of space for storing your surfboards.

The only downside is that it is a little noisy, with people walking up and downstairs, or the hallways above. And the bar below plays live music, which if you are trying to sleep, can get a little annoying. But it's location is perfect, the people were extremely friendly and it's very cozy.

Will be spending more time here for sure, as long as the rate special continues! (I was in a single queen bedroom)

Room Tip: the location is perfect, right on the edge of town. No matter where you stay in Tofino, for a reason...
