“Romantic place in the heart of town”
We liked the way access to the unit was set up - easy and secure. The unit was also located at the back of the Inn facing the internal courtyard. Also liked the furnishings - obviously, a lot of thought had gone into the interior decoration. The information in the folder was quite helpful in understanding what amenities were nearby.

Place was clean, great shower, close to good restaurants, walking trails. We didn't bring swimsuits so didn't get a chance to use the hot tub and sauna, both of which look great. Most people who go to Ucluelet don't go to watch TV, but in our late 70's we appreciate it when Netflix, Prime and other streaming services are available, and this place has lots of them.

They have created unrealistic expectations by describing the hotel ad "luxurious" and "boutique". It is neither but does provide a perfectly satisfactory, if ordinary, hotel room in a converted house. A note on the wall suggested imminent reservations so perhaps worth watching.
