The room was clean and the shower was nice and high (I'm 6'3). Could have used a few more outlets around so make sure to bring power cables for phones. But not a star off for something like that. Great place overall!

Was a little worried at the exterior pictures / reviews but we were pleasantly surprised to find a newly renovated room. Only negative was the twin beds…..very small for 4 average adults and queen beds would fit in the room. Smart tv was a bonus as we could use our own Netflix subscription.

I booked the 3 -bedroom penthouse for a night for my family. It was fantastic: Great layout, really well-maintained, and very spacious. The outdoor deck was great. Just downstairs is the beach and a lovely walk to the park and the other way is downtown Sechelt and all the shops. Had a fantastic dinner at Fred’s, the restaurant adjacent to the hotel and overlooking the ocean. Just steps away is a wonderful bistro Vin et Mer. Staff at the Inn were friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again. Recommend!

Outside was deceiving and we thought we accidentally went to wrong place but when we got inside it is fully renovated and very clean and new. I usually bring my own hairdryer but they had a regular full due in the room. Oversized towels. Netflix on smart TV. Easy to use thermostat. Friendly staff. The rooms all face the same way and no ocean view but that was ok because the ocean is pretty well right out the door. Very nice stay!

It's a good motel. The newly renovated bathroom is very nice. The rest of the room is very basic. The AC in my room didn't function properly. The staff is friendly but there is not much they can do as the AC kept turning off after a few minutes. My friend stayed at the ocean-front room, which is very nice for sure.

No elevator so challenging getting luggage up the stairs. Minimal furniture. Useless drawer of cutlery (only 2 mismatched forks)) and lack of glasses and kitchen equipment. Very hard beds. Tight bathroom. Way over priced.

Reception staff friendly and helpful. Gave good advice and direction for places to go and good restaurants to eat at.
This is the second time we have stayed here and both times the cleaning staff have fallen short.

It's pretty noisy since it's so close to the road.
