Disliked: Cleanliness

Worst experience ever

We got there around 8:30 in the evening or we would have left 1/2 hr after we arrived The place was so dirty that we swept up two dustpans of hair, dirt and food particles The bathroom was uncleared and had a used towel hanging there toilet was nasty there was hair in the sheets so we borrowed a set of sheets from our daughter who had driven over with us in their van so we could have a clean bed to sleep in we slept there to the sounds of footsteps above us until 11:30 and smoke drifting through our room we left at 7:00 in the morning and contacted the owner to tell him that we couldn’t stay there and asked for a refund but could not get any response from him at all Wrote to him a second time and still haven’t gotten any kind of response from him We got a motel nearby for the second two nights of our stay on Vancouver island so it turned out to be an extremely costly vacation
Stayed 3 nights in May 2025
