8/10 Very good

Overall good accommodation for money. Friendly staff and an amazing location. Only thing I’d say is that the walls are far too thin and it was quite loud.
James, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very convenient for our overnight in Tofino. Comfortable beds and coffee bar in lobby with light breakfast selection. Short walk takes you to many restaurants and down to pier to see stunning sunsets.

Superb MAQ

Bed was comfortable. Ivory on reception was exceptional and the Australian man on reception. Amelia and Fin were just superb. The staff really went out of their way to make our stay memorable
Brian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A nice, no nonsense hotel.

No frills here, but that's A-OK. It was clean, the hotel people were very helpful. The walls are a bit thin and it felt a bit like staying in a dorm room, but overall I'm not upset with this particular booking. I would recommend it.

Adrian, I think that was her name, checked us in and was very helpful and pleasant and efficient. She was very attentive.
Tanya, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, cute with lovely lounge

Great location, super cute hotel, especially the lobby area. Was a very nice touch to get a drink upon check-in and the staff was lovely. Couple of things in our room that could have been better: 1) there was no outlet in the bathroom (!?!) & 2) it was a double bed (the room overview said it would be a queen) in a queen frame. Because the frame was too large for the bed, we kept mud-judging where the corners were and our shins are covered in bruises - ouch!

Good hotel. I dont think they have AC though so take that into account.
Dan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I really enjoyed the quirky and thoughtful decor throughout the building. The staff greet you with a complimentary cocktail and the adjoining restaurant serves delicious food with a fun and young vibe. Our room door knob needs replacing and I would have loved a coffee machine and supplies provided.

We Hope to be Back

What a great experience we had at The Maq. The reception from Ivory was great (and so was the cocktail!) We were able to store our bicycles in a locked compound. The food in the Bear House Restaurant was wonderful. All in all, this is a great, funky place to stay. The entire staff were welcoming and friendly.
