Sunshine Lodge Inn

After a week in various BC hotels whose mattresses tended toward overly soft, we were delighted with the ones here, firm but not hard. But, everything else about this family-run property was top-notch as well. The gardens around the small pool were lovingly tended; the room was one of the largest, as was the bathroom; a kitchenette is included, which would be helpful for some travelers; and the continental breakfast was more than adequate. Other pluses: TV screen larger than most, with ample selection of US and Canadian channels; double sink in bathroom; location right on 101, not far from the ferry; near several decent restaurants; an in-room fireplace (for winter use); and friendly staff. The pool towels are bigger and thicker than the bath towels in the room, so we used those for showering. The pool is small, but quite deep at one end (3 meters, 10 feet), for no apparent reason. The shallow end is one meter, three feet. It was clean and refreshing after a day's drive. Unfortunately, smoking is allowed on the patio. Our neighbor's ashtray had six butts in it. Although this was just a one-night stopover on the way back from the Sunshine Coast, we wished the other places in which we had stayed were as nice.

This was one of the cutest Lodges I have been in. We were greeted by the man at the front desk who was super friendly and very helpful. Our room opened onto the quaint pool area that was very clean with new umbrellas and a grill. Our room, although dated, was very clean and had a flat screen tv. The beds were comfortable and very clean. We got up in the morning and the same man was at the front desk. He must either own it or run it. The Continental breakfast was enough to fill us up for our windy road to Earls Cove. I wish we had more time to hang out here!

Great service I had emergency and these guys were very helpful.

Quiet

We were there for a hockey tournament. The staff were amazingly accommodating to our team and our families. Allowing the kids to play and run around outside and just have fun. Bed mattresses were pretty new and the rooms were clean. Complimentary Gatorade, coffee, tea, etc. Thanks so much for everything!

Buyer beware ! Rooms are very worn down and dated . Duct tape on light switches or missing knobs on light switches . The rooms smell, our bathroom fan was so loud . Little to No maintenance has been done to the rooms. When you check in Please ask them to see your room before they make you pay up front !!!! Once you’re checked in they will not give you a refund ! The pool was green with algae . The walls are paper thin and you can hear every noise . This establishment would have been wonderful in its prime , unfortunately there has been a lack of care , which means lack of cleanliness.
