Ideal as a Ucluelet base.
Pros:

Location. Restaurants, shop, etc in walking distance of hotel. Bed really comfy. Sheets super soft. Complimentary bottle of wine.

Cons:

Absolutely no view as downstairs at back and surrounded by trees. Everytime toilet was flushed upstairs was noisy enough to wake you downstairs as the waste water pipe appeared to run down inside the ensuite bathroom.

Our stay was great!
Pros:

The Inn keepers thought of every detail to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The apartment was very clean, functional and comfortable. The hot tub and sauna were an bonus.

Cons:

The village is small and there isn’t a lot to visit/do in the immediate area.

Nice place, good location. They should take a second look at the sauna rules.
Pros:

Great location. Walkable to big beach, the Aquarium, the grocery store and many food options. We loved that it had a sauna and hot tub and a nice garden area. The room was small but comfortable.

Cons:

When we went to use the sauna, a man was naked. I thought to check the rules regarding the sauna and they actually recommended no swimsuit if you were alone. I don’t think that’s appropriate for a co-ed sauna. It made me uncomfortable.

Very comfortable base for exploring Ucluelet area
Pros:

We stayed here for 3 nights for our base in Ucluelet. The room was very clean and comfortable. We used the sauna and the hot tub which was an unexpected bonus. There is enough kitchen facilities to manage your own breakfast but you would struggle to cook a meal. I’m happy to recommend this accommodation to other travellers as a base for their time in Ucluelet

Parfait !
Pros:

Super studio bien équipé et avec goût situé près d’un supermarché accessible à pied et avec une superbe vue. Au calme malgré l’emplacement près de la route. Très mignon Ucluelet ! Et une jolie attention des propriétaires !

Cons:

Il manque peut être une guest laundry.

Sleepless.
Pros:

The location in centre of town was great. The building and rooms were exceptionally clean and nicely decorated. The bottle of wine and handwritten note were a nice touch to make us feel welcome.

Cons:

The sofabed was the worst I've ever slept on - and I've slept on many. It sloped backwards towards the top, it was lumpy and bumpy, you could feel the springs coming through, Actually it was so bad I felt it was a total disgrace that they were charging the rate they did for such substandard equipment.

Cosy and comfortable suite. When needed to call owner, they were easy to get in touch with.
Pros:

It was a bit secluded from the street. More privacy. The hot tub was nice to be able to use.

Cons:

It should be explained that the driveway is very steep. A challenge when leaving the property.
No real fridge / freezer.
