Nice location on the water. Great restaurant next door. The motel room was fine but the outside looked pretty dodgy.

Did like the proximity to the beach and town.
This property is need of an update. The lights in the room didn’t all work. The room we had was right by a door that led to other rooms and it slammed shut every time some one went in and out.

The location was good and central and the room provided the basics including a comfortable bed and basic bathroom facilities. The AC worked poorly and could not maintain a steady comfortable temp- was either too hot or freezing cold. Walls were thin and you could easily hear noisy neighbors. The room was clean enough but the property was not- stairs going upstairs were dirty and parking lot had lots of litter. The staff were not helpful or responsive at all - bordering on rude. I spent 4 nights there and was very anxious to leave on my checkout day. Overall, I was not happy as a guest and felt that the staff and management could do a much better job at taking care of their guests. Thankfully I had a wonderful time in Sechelt with friends and did not have to spend too much time in the motel. Motel was generally disappointing and overpriced for what I got. I would not recommend.

The days we spent in the hotel were disturbing and not worth the price paid for it.
The room was not as per request the blame was placed on Expedia while the front office was not able to provide explanation the reason why we have been put in a different room. Lot of mistakes were done by the staff.
The unit was overprice being a 1 star hotel at best.
Ew will never book a hotel through Expedia or visit an inn where the price is noted as a hotel.

We found that the property lacked proper maintenance. Sliding doors were so rusted and dirty that you could hardly open them. The screen doors were off the runners. Hallways and outside were filthy. House keeping was sloppy; beds just had the covers thrown over sloppily, towels just thrown in the bathroom, coffee was not refilled, dishes in cupboards were dirty and not enough for the guests, hair dryer had been broken off the wall and just laid on the vanity. Thank goodness the sheets were clean. From previous visits we expected more. We love the location.

Great stay - bathroom needs a plumbing update but great stay. Really wanted a bath but the lulling under the tap seemed either dirty or rusted and didn’t feel comfortable.

Amazing location in beautiful Sechelt! Ocean walk right outside the Driftwood! Ocean water clean for swimming or paddling. Rocky beach so bring your water shoes! Shopping and various dining options just a few blocks away. This location is a little piece of heaven!
