This property is in the middle of downtown tofino. With a lot of food options near me. Maq Hotel has one of the most amazing staff i have ever met. Excellent hospitality. I asked for an early check-in and they managed to get the room ready for us in less than 10mins. The hotel also offers free parking to it's guests and has their own restaurant, pub and cafe.

Loved this place. Great value for the money. Good location in town, great coffeehouse and restaurant on the property. Open at 7:30 but I would prefer earlier for coffee. Walkable area. Comfortable stay. No ac or fridge but they do have a cooler and tote to use.

Great location! Super cute boutique hotel!

From a free cocktail at check in, friendly staff, and the cutest hand written welcome note upon arrival they made you feel special right from the start. They checked on us regularly to see if we needed anything thru the weekend. Free bags of ice at the wine shop/store, the Outdoor patio, bar, restaurant, and coffee shop on site was awesome and handy. We had a problem with our key after hours & they resolved it swiftly. The beds and linens were super soft & comfy! The location was excellent & quiet. Easy walk to shops, the beach, and restaurants in town. We would stay there again & can’t wait to go back!

The only downside about the stay would have been the disrespect of other guests coming/going at all hours of the night. Their loud voices in the hallway. Even with noise machine in the room it was quite loud.

unmet need for a hot soak after full day

Really sweet place, love the artistic/West Coast feel :) The only glitch was finding out there was no bathtub, so no hot soak after catering the Private Dinner Party that I was in town to facilitate. Given that it would quite a challenge to install bathtubs at this point, perhaps have one outdoor hot tub on site, to make up for this?

Amazing location and amazing opportunity to make a destination accommodation, but something isn't right. Some of the people in the surrounding area make me nervous. There appears to be many unhoused in the vicinity. Universal problem, but still a reality. Making the rooms more comfortable and attractive would go a long way. Having chairs in the room would help.
