We stayed in suite 3- bottom floor - studio suite. It was cute and cozy, & quite clean and fresh smelling (except for some old pizza sauce spray on the kitchen wall- lol) There were robes and flip flops for the walk to the hottub and sauna - which was great ! The parking wasn’t ok for a big truck - it was steep and gravel and tight spots - but we figured it out 😁

We stayed at the Inn for our babymoon and overall had a nice time. We let them know in advance that it was a special trip, and the staff were friendly and welcoming when we arrived. They left a lovely note acknowledging our baby moon and congratulations :) The room was clean, cozy, and comfortable — a great spot to relax. Unfortunately, our first night was a bit disappointing due to noisy neighbors who were up until about 2am making a fair amount of noise inside and outside. It made it hard to get the rest we were really hoping for, especially since this trip was meant to be a peaceful getaway before the baby arrives, and the Inn states a no noise after 10pm request of guests. What was disappointing was my husband having to be the initiator to go and ask the group next to our room (we were in the Queen Suite main floor at the back, #5) at 2am to please let us sleep as this had been going on for quite some time. The rest of our stay was enjoyable, but the noise that first night did leave us with mixed feelings, hence the 3 stars. For the price we paid for 2 nights, we were not expecting it to be a “party space” location. Still, it’s a lovely place overall and location — just something to consider if you’re looking for a very quiet stay.

Sorry, I didn’t check my email before arriving at the Francis Boutique Hotel. We got there and called the property manager for access to our suite. Karina was very helpful in directing us to our suite and guiding us through the self checking. She even helped to take our baggage to our suite. We walked into the suite and were blown away! So beautiful and welcoming. Everything was there for our three nights stay, enough toiletries and bath supplies. This is a perfect place for young and old couples. I would highly recommend the Francis Boutique Hotel!

Had a great two-night stay at The Francis Boutique Inn in Ucluelet! The room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. The drive to Tofino was scenic and relaxing. We also found it super convenient to have an EV charging station right on the property’s parking lot — a nice bonus for travellers with electric cars!
