We spent 2 nights at the Arbutus at the end of August 2011. We received a warm welcome from the motel owner, even though we arrived late in the evening due to a ferry delay.. The room was impeccably clean and smelled fresh. It was obvious that it had recently been renovated. The room had 2 comfortable queen sized beds,... More

Can't say enough about this little motel in Parksville near the resort beaches. Comfy bed with a flat screen tv was a bonus. We got a kitchenette unit which is worth it... More

This was our second stay at Arbutus Grove Motel. Our car club rented all 10 units for our 2nd annual trip to the Seaside Cruizers Show & Shine. The motel was updated prior to our first visit and is clean, comfortable and quiet-except for the noice we made. There was plenty of room for all our cars with lots of... More

My husband and I were on our honeymoon and had just come down from Port Hardy, having just come from Prince Rupert after taking the train from Toronto. We needed a place to stay and relax before we headed to Tofino on the the west coast of the island. The Arbutus Grove motel was perfect! The price was reasonable, the... More

Its value for the money. Nothing fancy, just a motel that was needed and used for what it is worth. It was clean and we had no troubles checking in or checking out. Looks like they did renovations before. For the price we paid, it was worth the stay, especially when surrounding hotels cost much more. More

We just spent a week at the Arbutus. We had a kitchen-suite and loved it! The room was very clean and comfortable. Definitely good value for money. Jackie, the motel keeper, was very helpful and friendly. We would have no problem staying there again when we come to Parksville. More

Just one night here but managed to get plenty of rest. The rooms were clean and of a good size with two huge beds and a good sized bathroom. As it's a little way out of the main Parksville area it is quiet but you will have to jump in the car to get food in the evening (during the... More

Recently, we were visiting Vancouver Island and stopped in Parksville to spend the night. We had stayed in a different motel previously and had not been happy there. The Arbutus Grove Motel looked older but well taken care of so we stopped in. The room we had was wonderful! The rooms have been renovated in the last 2 years so... More

Standard motel, close to busy road, south of town, nothing special. No one even up in the morning to check me out of my room. No wireless Internet, instead needed a cable, so only one of us could compute at a time... What strange manipulation of Trip Advisor ratings makes this the #1 place to stay in Parksville? VIP Motel... More
