Called up to book a room for my wife as she was caught in the extreme weather and having to stay in the car. They checked the room and got it cleaned early and got her checked in and out of the weather so quickly. They were excellent to her and our pup she was staying with. So friendly and helpful have stayed there before will stay again.

The entire experience was really good!! Nice friendly staff that made you feel very welcome. The room was very clean and quiet. It was very affordable, compared to many in the area. Right beside a "Rickie's all Day Grill", which is very convenient. Would definitely recommend this spot and would for sure stay here again!!!

I don’t feel like any corners were cut, for the reasonable price. The functionality along with cleanliness of the building is well done. I enjoyed my two days stay there. Thank you to the people that worked there.

Very nice upgraded motel. The highway may sound loud from the parking lot, but the upgraded windows keep the sound out at night. It's also single floor, meaning no noise from rooms above.

Nice landscaping and connected to Smittys for food take out or delivery. Cozy and clean. Like the soap/shampoo dispensers. On a busy road but sleeping wasn’t a problem. Did hear neighbors at 6:30am. Turned off AC. Too cold. Friendly staff. Did have to ask for towels.

The property is owned by a friendly couple, room is cleaner than many 4 or even 5 stars hotel. The air-conditioning is very quiet and I couldn’t hear any noise overnight, Ricky’s is right next door and they do room service so which is a great option since there’s not a lot restaurants around. We would definitely stay there again if we go to Parksville again.
