My biggest goals in finding a place in Campbell River was being on the water side of 19a and having a kitchen to save some money. This place was perfect. Big room with one queen in a separate bedroom and one facing the water. A full kitchen, full size fridge, and clean bathroom. The balcony had an amazing view and we sat out there watching boats and eagles our entire stay. And no traffic noise! Since our time crossed with Canada Day, we were able to walk into town (a mile?), enjoy the parade, vendors and food trucks, then walk home with no worries about parking. Owner Paul was an absolute gem and was very eager to make our stay comfortable. Highly recommend!!!

Solid budget choice in great location

This old motel is thoughtfully looked after. Our ground floor small room was well appointed with double bed, table & two chairs, coffee table & two sitting chairs, microwave and bar fridge plus Kuerig and kettle, 2 mugs & 2 glasses. Other dishes and utensils were available for free from the front desk. The window was tiny so no real view from the room but a cafe table and 2 chairs on the grass outside were lovely when it was warm enough to sit out. Some units have wooden platforms for the tables. The landscaping is not well looked after but the view is great. The unit looked freshly painted and was very clean, especially the bathroom, which had generous supplies of Kleenex, bath tissue and (cleverly) single packets of shampoo and conditioner and soap. Lighting was minimal and cheaply retrofitted with one ceiling fixture over the bed and three small portable lamps, over the table, at one side of the bed and over the microwave. Windows were newer vinyl with screens and there was a small air conditioner unit. The thermostat did not appear to work but we were comfortable. There was a metal set of utility shelves taking up most of the closet space with room for only a couple of hangers. The bed had budget linens and a mattress that felt overly soft but was surprisingly comfortable. Below ground room was very quiet with no road noise, even though motel is on the main highway. Staff was friendly and thoughtful. Overall, good choice for short stays on a budget.

Lovely staff, when I went to put things in the fridge I smelled mold and saw a bunch of it still remaining in the empty fridge. Not a good first impression. Beds, thankfully, were clean after careful inspection and comfortable.

Unfortunately our room was very dirty. I took film footage of the bed ledge covered in hair and dirt. I had to plug in my charger behind the night stand and it was filthy, so bad. The people were nice and the bathroom toilet/shower/sink were clean, so that was good!
