The room was very clean. Bed was comfortable. Could use some updating. Fan in bathroom very loud and didn't work to take the steam out of the room. Not very sound proof. Heard neighbours and loud noise from others shower. Good location to shopping, restaurants etc.

Thank you for taking the time to comment; I am afraid that the bathroom fans are a necessary evil in order to provide ventilation! More

Pros: Perfect location on beach Blocks from shopping and restaurants Clean Cons: Dated and tired rooms Very thin walls and can easily hear others Overall I would recommend staying here if you are fine with an older hotel. It is a beautiful location. Ate in the restaurant which was good.

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to review our hotel. Our hotel is 33 years old this month but we do try refresh at least a quarter of our rooms every winter. In the last 12 months we have renewed drapes, carpet, TVs and other items as part of our ongoing upgrades. More

Central oceanfront hotel on the Sunshine coast. Great kitchenette rooms with priceless views. Right on the beach and in the small 'town' of Sechelt. Family-run adorable staff and Great brunch spot in the adjoining restaurant-Pebbles has great breakfast/lunch. Good for families, vacation or working holiday.

This motel located in Sechelt - sunshine coast. They have few large suits for family of 4 ppl . We had a great room - just open the door and you are on the beach. Everything was nice and clean, small kitchen if you have to cook in your vacation. There is also a restaurant at the hotel with large... More

Just returned home to Victoria from a 4 day stay in Sechelt. This hotel is the best location of any accommodation on the Sunshine Coast. Rooms are reasonably spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The waterfront restaurant is lovely and the food is excellent. Staff are warm and friendly and service is great.

This is a good budget hotel and if you get the room with a view of the ocean this is very good. We stayed over Christmas and it was quiet and easy to operate in. The room is clean. Fabulous location. Friendly staff. Restaurant right there and on the seawall for fresh air walk / photography. A budget rate with... More

The room was clean and the owner and/or manager very helpful and accomodating. The location is fabulous -- on the beach and across the street from the major shopping centre. However, the room was overpriced for what I got: almost $150 for a non-functional TV, no blow dryer in the bathroom, no mini-bar (which I would have appreciated, having arrived... More

Didn't quite know what to expect after reading the reviews. It is a dated, older hotel but the rooms are clean and an average size, very comfortable. At $169 the room is overpriced, but there are no many choices here. Be sure to make a reservation as the hotel was sold out for the weekend (third weekend of September). The... More

For a basic and good motel, I recommend the Driftwood Inn. It's not one of the ultra fancy and expensive resorts of the Sunshine Coast, but it is a clean, comfortable motel, updated since our stay last year. #1 feature for us is that it is walking distance to shopping, restaurants and other attractions in the charming town of Sechelt....

This is at best a very modest motel that happens to be in a great location, but it has just gone a long way downhill with the start of construction of a huge condo complex next door. Most of the rooms face a huge pit with workers starting to hammer at 7AM. Once the construction is over, you will probably... More

We regret that construction next door for The Watermark will be ongoing until May 2013. If you are vacationing in the area and are seeking quiet we suggest booking into the waterfront rooms. We do have the best accommodation of the downtown area and have been doing upgrading of the rooms to the newer duvets and furnishings through 2012. If... More
