Sorry, I didn’t check my email before arriving at the Francis Boutique Hotel. We got there and called the property manager for access to our suite. Karina was very helpful in directing us to our suite and guiding us through the self checking. She even helped to take our baggage to our suite. We walked into the suite and were blown away! So beautiful and welcoming. Everything was there for our three nights stay, enough toiletries and bath supplies. This is a perfect place for young and old couples. I would highly recommend the Francis Boutique Hotel!

Had a great two-night stay at The Francis Boutique Inn in Ucluelet! The room was very clean and the bed was really comfortable. The drive to Tofino was scenic and relaxing. We also found it super convenient to have an EV charging station right on the property’s parking lot — a nice bonus for travellers with electric cars!

Wonderful accomodation

The property is wonderful. The apartments are extremely well thought through, with plenty of space and fantastic amenities. Check-in is done remotely but the reception was extremely communicative and responsive. The additional amenities of a sauna and a hot tub felt as a luxury that really elevated our experience. Overall a memorable accomodation that we would love to visit again along with recommending it.

A perfect home base to explore from!

We stayed in a King Suite and it was a perfect little apartment with everything we needed to be comfortable- two adults and a teen. The hot tub and sauna were amazing to come back to after a day of exploring the rainy beaches and forests. Ucluelet is an adorable town. We will stay here again on our next trip to the area.
