kitchen

We stayed at the Whale's Tail for two nights.  The suite had a bit of a musty, cigarette smoke smell, with lots of stains on the carpet.  The bathroom door knob was very loose, as was the toilet seat.  The door knob assembly is held together with two screws and both were loose, with one of them almost completely backed out.  The toilet seat was the same, causing it to slide around all over the place.  I had a multi-tool in the car, so I was able to fix the seat and door knob.  In the bedroom, on the night stand, was some granola and crumbs from a previous guest's snack.  How do you miss that?  How do you miss the toilet seat and bathroom door knob almost falling off?  Unfortunately the worst was yet to come.

In the morning there was some water on the bathroom counter around the sink.  I thought my daughter must have made a bit of a mess when she washed up the night before.  I cleaned it up, and I didn't think anything of it.  We went out for the day and when we returned in the evening there was a big puddle of water on the bathroom counter.  Closer inspection revealed that even though the faucet was off, there was water dripping from the handle down the backside and pooling on the counter.  Everything on the counter was soaked, including my canvas and leather toiletry bag and all of it's contents.  I tried to manipulate the handle to stop the water, and thought that I had done so, but there was a pool of water on the counter the next morning also.

Not good

The room was smelling really bad. As if somebody smoked a few hours ago. Unfortunately we could not change it. We put some spray the front desk gave us but it did not help. 

The sofa bed was really old with a soft mattress that should have been replaced long time ago.

The fridge was really noisy at night. We put the higher temperature but did not hep neither. It was like having a V8 engine working in the room…

The kitchen had one of the electric burners that did not work. 

Some of the tiles in the bathroom were broken and it was one single bulb that worked out of six! 

The mosquito net in the garden window  was falling apart and the windows of our room that face the parking lot (street leve) could not be closed. So anyone could have jump in and take our belongings… as there was no mosquito net there nor any other protection.

We got a discount for the cigarette smell but the stay was not what we expected for the price paid. 

We booked the room expecting to use the swimming pool the web advertised but it was closed for maintenance. 

All in all a bad experience. I would not repeat … room 202 was terrible!


Bad experience (august 23). Try to avoid if rooms are not refurbished

Nice clean well laid out suite with all the amenities.  Quiet area with easy access to shops and restaurants.  Handy to the Small Craft Harbour where charter boats operate from.  Reasonably priced.  Highly recommend.

Sport Fisherman's Base In Uclulet

We stayed for two nights and we had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The suite was super clean and spacious. We had a miner health emergency and the staff/owner were very accommodating to meet our needs. An added bonus were the deer just outside the picture window one morning. The location is quiet and easy to access. Good value!

Very Accommodating

We stayed there for 3 nights and it was perfect for our family of 4. Well equiped, clean and access to a BBQ and outdoor table. Insonorisation could be better though...  The price is reasonnable for what you have and much cheaper then Tofino equivalent. The pool is not located directly on the site but at the hotel a ew streets away.

Affordable and convienient suite

Great value for the money. Centrally located, spacious suite with everything one needs. Building is older but everything was well maintained and clean. Friendly staff and as a bonus one can use the fitness centre in town for free, which is only a block away.

Vancouver Island family trip

Perfect fit for our family group. All amenities included, plus a BBQ and yard to visit. My family went surfing while I worked. Plenty of room for us all in the 1BR suite. Appreciated the kettle and full kitchen.

Perfect fit

We stayed in a unit with a kitchenette, which was quiet and very clean. It had everything we needed and a great pool, except the beds were not comfortable at all and the nightly rate was quite expensive for a motel.

Friendly staff and very clean.

Are family spent a couple of days and we we're pleasantly surprised. The facility is dated but clean (very important to me) and affordable.  The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay again!

Clean and Affordable

Many thanks to Tanya and the team at Whale's Tail. Our travel arrangements were messed up at the last minute by Air Canada flight cancelations. Whale Tail quickly adjusted our booking and made us feel welcome after a frustrating journey.  We definitely enjoyed staying in the house suite.  Very spacious and comfortable
