Not comfortable

There are people smoking right outside my room. There’s no locks on the doors and they don’t give you coffee beds are not comfortable. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness
The smell of deodorizer was super strong. Not sure what it was covering up but it smelled terrible. We had to air out the room for a long time. The door had no deadbolt or other secondary lock - just the electronic door code. For the price it was fair, just wish that smell hadn’t been there.

It was dark when we got there so I can't comment on surroundings. I didn't interact with any staff It wasn't as nice as the cost would have you believe. I imagine people normally don't stay here as just an overnight but there was no other rooms available in the surrounding area

Nice place reminds me of when I was a kid.

This is a nice place to stay. Not five star. But nice. Comfortable bed. Cozy duvet great pillows. The room is nice comes with a kitchenette nice fridge with a real freezer. I have an issue with the bathroom fan. It’s so loud. And so are the other ones in the other rooms. So loud. Across the street from the ocean. Walked there multiple times to watch the eagles seagulls etc.

This is my second time staying at qualicum bay resort and it’s just as lovely as I remembered. Waterfront views and very nice to have a full kitchen, living room, and your own personal deck with outdoor table. I will definitely be back.

Qualicum Bay has limited resources but it's close to our friends! The accommodation worked great, however the door code wouldn't be reset and even if it was, the staff knows the code. No one was there for check in and we weren't sent instructions, and when we called the owner in Vancouver the reception is non existent so it was a run around to be able to get in at all.
