Book a hotel near Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park, Parksville

"What a diamond in the rough! You wouldn’t know it from the front of the property but the king bed ocean view room was an absolute gem! This little fully renovated “motel” type hotel sits next door to a huge resort but it shines brighter! I could hear the street traffic at the front door of the room but that is a minuscule point, especially while I was sitting on the rooms private ocean view balcony, with a huge 10ft door sliding door! "

"very good"

"We stayed in a one-bedroom waterfront room (end unit in the east wing), which had a balcony with a table and chairs. The suite was very spacious (big bedroom and big primary bathroom) and having an extra hall bathroom was great. Parking is underground and easy but if you return later at night, finding a spot can be tricky. My husband found one spot left at 7 p.m. when the hotel was fully booked. The water view from the room was gorgeous but since we had the end unit, we also had a view of the neighboring RV park. Be aware that the doors to the rooms on the upper floors in the east and west wings (not sure about the tower) are outside (we were on the 3rd floor) so the walkways can get wet and we occasionally smelled the cooking smells from the restaurant below. The hotel is in walking distance from several great restaurants so we didn't eat at the hotel restaurant. We didn't interact with the staff much but check-in/check-out was easy. You can inform the front desk if you don't want/need room service, which would been helpful to know when we checked in to avoid the stack of cards left by housekeeping. Great stay and would stay there again. "

"Clean spacious room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Easy to get to and from our destinations during our stay."
