Terrific place!
Pros:

Funny what you discover by accident... We usually stay at another place in Ucluelet. It was a bit pricey though, so opted to try Hotel Zed instead. It was about $40 less per night. Best chance we ever took! Staff were so quick to answer any questions we had before our trip. They were pleasant and professional when we arrived. There was also lots of parking. They provided everything we needed to make tea/coffee in our room. The hotel was packed with kitchy decor including shag carpeting, macrame on the walls, etc. I was worried that it would be tired and old but nope! What a surprise to find one of the cleanest places we've stayed at. The room was large and comfortable and we had no issues with noise. The on-site restaurant, Roar, is one of the best ones we have eaten at in a very long time. Would recommend this place to anyone! I am already planning my next visit!

Underwhelming, disappointing and smelly.
Pros:

The room was quiet. Myles on the reception was exceptionally helpful and kind when we had to amend our stay. The 1970's decor was eclectic and funky.

Cons:

The room was dark and needs additional lighting. It also stank of dog - I have a dog and don't mind smelling him, however I do object to smelling someone else's dog - it was quite overpowering. Perhaps there should be some rooms that are not allowed to have dogs in at all. The room had not been hoovered correctly. There were no tea and coffee supplies in the room. The supervisor seating guests in the restaurant was rude, preferring to speak with other staff instead of attending to us when waiting to be seated. Very perfunctory in his answers to our questions.

Pros:

They gave us a corner suite for my birthday. That was nice!

Cons:

Unfortunately I was immensly disappointed with how things went during our visit to zed hotel tofino. I dont ever take space to complain unless so many individual things add up to make it worth my time. Especially on my birthday!
Firstly. If an accommodation has a sauna and hot tub away from the space of the inside of the hotel, why isnt there robes and slippers for the walk?
There is no room service ! Not even ice to your room. No morning mimosa, just incase anyone ever thought on their birthday that could be a possibility.
Carpet everywhere but they dont have the time or staff to vacuum hallways.

Once we arrive we planned on going for dinner. We walk down at 8pm to be told they couldn't serve us due to "technical issues" no other explaination but still the restaurant was full of people.
That night I sent a message to the hotel explaining our distaste for what happened. No reply. Not even a simple "our appologies"
Next day we try again to go for dinner. Same server welcomes us in. But doesnt recognize us or say anything about the mishaps from the night prior.
We spent 200 dollars. The steak was a cheap cut for whatever cost, was never even told the price (says MP) or cut of whatever we are over spending on. The service was terrible. She upsold us on vegetables that were 10 dollars.... Our food was up at the window and the chef called they needed hands 3 times. Server was eating at the bar right behind us so could hear. Steak was cold & chewy.
I paid half my months rent to stay here for 2 days & then another 200 bucks for what exactly ?

Lastly, I left my pillow behind. Called to see if they had it still.. I would have paid for shipping to get it back as its the only pillow i am comfortable sleeping on hense why i brought it along with me.. And apparently they threw it out ?!

Very disappointing.

Best hotel on Vancouver Island
Pros:

My favourite hotel!! It’s perfect in every way. The vibe of this place is so fun! We love all that there is to check out at the hotel. The rooms are spacious and the bed’s are very very comfortable. The hot tub and sauna are also wonderful. And the nature spa on site is an added bonus. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is heading to Tofino. It’s not one you will want to miss checking out. I can’t wait to go back again!!
