Well there's nothing too special about the Dolphin, but if you want a place with a bed and a kitchen and you plan on spending most of your time at the beach, the Dolphin could be a good fit, but if you're looking for anything romantic, or a place you'd like to spend time indoors, this might not be the...

I stayed five nights for a solo R & R / surf and yoga trip. Veronica the owner is exceptionally warm and welcoming, a fantastic host and just a great person! The reviews about miss matched towels and bed linens aren't incorrect, but this is one of the cleanest hotels I've stayed in. While you may have a floral pattern,... More

We stayed there 5 nights, and enjoyed ourselves. There were NO BED BUGS, I'm thinking someone made that up. If you don't mind towels and dishes that don't match, the location of the motel is very convenient, only about 5 min. walk to either Chesterman or McKenzie beaches. The price is reasonable, the owner is friendly and hospitable, the place... More

My girlfriend and I arrived quite late so the lady gave us a discounted room because we didn't stay the day. She probably gave us the room cheap because the following morning we were covered by bed bug bites which we though were mosquito bites at that time. She didn't have the common courtesy to tell us about this problem... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here this summer and were very impressed with the service! The owner was extremely helpful and polite. We stayed in one of the suites, with a kitchen and two bedrooms - more than we needed and for a very affordable price. Everything was clean and well-kept. We had a wonderful stay. Sure, the furniture and... More

We booked for two nights fairly last minute and there were no real choices unless we wanted to spend a lot of money. So we read the reviews and risked the stay for a reasonable price. It was pretty bad overall, really old building, kitchen and appliances were at least 20 years old and showed it. The bedsheets were laughable... More

Two nights in this dump and I was disgusted the entire time. No other hotels were available so we decided to stay here...WHAT A MISTAKE! Towels weren't clean, smelled awful...the bedspread was a Montreal Canadiens crappy blanket covered in stains and the sheets were literally from the 1980's. I brought my own linens and towels and still felt grossed out... More

What a disappointment! Having slogged the 4 hours across Vancouver Island to Tofino we were met by a series of run-down shacks. In a beautiful area, surrounded by new, clean and well appointed hotels, we couldn't believe our bad luck at having booked this place in advance. I haven't seen such a horrible interior since Britain in the 1970's -... More

A five minute walk from Chesterman Beach, this little motel has new owners since I stayed there last and they are very pleasant. The room was exceptionally clean and the beds were so comfortable. We had the best sleep. There was a fridge and kettle and coffee maker in our room. Others have kitchenettes. We were snug and warm -... More
