Nettes Personal, Koffertransport auf den Fluren schwierig
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal. Am Abend einen Risch im Restaurant zu bekommen, war schwierig. Die nette Dame am Empfang hatte für uns reserviert.

Cons:

Die Teppiche auf den Fluren waren verschlissen. Wir sind zurecht gekommen, jedoch blieb man ständig an den Läufern auf den Fluren hängen. Da muss dringend was passieren.

Kurztrip nach Tofino
Pros:

Das Hotel ist zentral im Ort, mit Blick zum Wasser (ich hatte ein Zimmer zur anderen Seite). Die Zimmer sind normal eingerichtet, ich fand das Bett sehr bequem und habe gut geschlafen trotz Live Musik (Gehörschutz).

Cons:

Ein Fahrstuhl wäre hilfreich. Sonst jederzeit wieder.

Lovely.
Pros:

Lovely room overlooking the harbour. Plenty of space. Centrally located and quirky feel. Restaurant great food. Warm helpful and really friendly staff without being intrusive. We extended our stay by one night and they facilitated us staying in same room by moving other bookings around. Tofino a magical place.

Cons:

Outside bar area closed at nine as did restaurant , last orders about 8.30 as restaurant closes at 9. On first night we went to excellent Wolf in fog near by. Europeans eat late.

Pros:

Excellent facilities including a restaurant, cafe, pub and liquor store. Really good location as well

Cons:

I find a 5pm check in to be utterly ridiculous. Thankfully in this case we were alerted that the room was ready early.

Pros:

La propreté
L'emplacement

Cons:

Beaucoup trop de bruit la nuit, la chambre donnait sur le bar de l'hôtel où un groupe de musique est convié durant l'été.

Bruit jusqu'à 1h du matin.

Hôtel bruyant, mauvaise insonorisation entre les chambres

Le prix est beaucoup trop cher pour devoir subir ce genre d'inconvénients..

Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist super. Direkt um die Ecke ist ein Supermarkt und sonst ist man zu Fuß auch schnell am Strand, Hafen oder in der Stadt.
Aus unserem Fenster hatten wir einen schönen Blick auf das Meer.

Cons:

Das Hotelzimmer hatte keine Klimaanlage, was an sich nicht schlimm ist. Allerdings konnte man das Fenster nur so wenig aufkurbeln, dass kaum frische Luft ins Zimmer kam.
Das WLAN war leider auch ganz schlecht. Entweder hat es auch gar nicht erst verbunden oder es war so langsam, dass man es nicht wirklich nutzen konnte.
Das Hotel liegt zudem direkt über einem Pub. Am Wochenende hat der Bass ziemlich im Zimmer gedröhnt und bis nach 12 war es eine sehr laute Geräuschkulisse.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer direkt neben dem Treppenhaus und dadurch konnten wir jedes quietschen der Treppe und die ganzen Hotelgäste dauerhaft hören.
