It's like a basement, dungeon type of feeling. There were water damaged marks on the ceiling and some mildew odor. I think the other part was that this room faces the seating area where the hotel restaurant was so you hear the noise and they can see you (if you dont have your blackouts and screen on) from the outside. When asked to change the room, they said they were fully booked. 5-7pm they have popsicles for the kids Also, on the website it mentioned you can get 2 hours of free kayak rental but the weekend we were there, they had a wedding so it was not open. Lame! When asked to speak to the manager, they put you on hold on the phone and then wait and they will say they spoke to the manager but in fact they did not because I was standing right in the lobby.

Great place to stay, especially if you want a view of the ocean. All rooms face the bay which is…read morereally nice. The only drawback is there is no elevator. But it is only two levels. Just pack light or request for ground floor if you have mobility issue. I don't think this was mentioned in their website. I wish I knew about it as I am recovering from an accident and still working on my strength. Lucky I only had an overnight bag so I could manage the stairs. I didn't request for daily cleaning since I was only there for 2 nights. I did overhear the staff telling a customer they don't vacuum the room and only change the towels. The customer was complaining the room was not cleaned at all. So something to take note of. My room was clean when I checked in. Otherwise the room is pretty good. I had a nice view of the pier though it was partially blocked by the tree outside. The AC could be more powerful. The sun does make the room warmer when the temperature outside is 23-25c. I love the bee kind range of amenities. They are nice. I also like the rain shower and handheld shower options. The front desk staff are friendly and they will also call the room to check if you need anything before they knock off for the night. There is no 24 hours reception here. I like the coffee machine in the lobby as it has more choices. Just have to wait till 8am when the reception is open. When the AC is turned on, I can't hear anything. But when it is turned off, I can hear voices from other rooms. But at night it is quite ok. No loud noises from inside or outside. I didn't really hear the traffic outside despite it being the highway. I will definitely stay here again. And you will need to car to get around Sunshine Coast easily. Only a few restaurants and shops in the area so you will definitely be going out and about. There is a bus stop next door though.

(The sleeper sofa not so much but was ok for small kids. Ours are 3 and 8.) Lots of beach toys for the kids. The hosts made a delicious breakfast and brought it our suite so we could eat in our pj's. So much better than usual B&Bs that you need to get dressed for to eat breakfast. I may need to go back just to get the recipe of those apple pancakes. We stayed here for one night on a trip around the Sunshine Coast but could have easily spent a few nights here. If you need a place to stay in Sechelt and are looking for a quiet and cozy place, this is a great pick.

My son was sick this week so I inquired about the cancellation policy "IF WE DECIDED" that we couldn't go. They advised me of the policy and also mentioned that other couples were interested in the suite for the same weekend. My mom had agreed to babysit if my son was still sick by that time. After they told me the policy I emailed them back IMMEDIATELY and told them that I would be keeping my reservation and I would "See you on the third" They replied "Great see you on the third" Which I understood as an acknowledgement that everyone understood that we were keeping our reservation. An hour and a half later they emailed me to tell me my reservation was cancelled and my deposit refunded. I replied right away and asked "Why did you do that I thought we agreed that I was keeping my reservation? All I did was INQUIRED ABOUT THE POLICY" and they said "ITS ALREADY DONE" I sent two more emails that were never replied to. Sounds to me that one of they other parties that inquired about the date we reserved was more important to them. Did they book additional nights? Did they want the spa package? Whatever your reason for cancelling our two month old ANNIVERSARY reservation one week in advance is abhorrent. I have been to this bed and breakfast before, and even wrote positive reviews on it, which I now regret.

No note, no card, no bottle of wine, nothing. Also after many umpteen conversations with the front desk, not one word was said about the fact that the restaurant and bar was closed. Not due to Covid, but a kitchen fire, In JANUARY, and it's now August 7. And the whole point to our many conversations was that they are 81, we need the ground floor oceanfront so it's easy access to the ocean and amenities. Not one word. The room was good but the patio was dirty inside and out , cobwebs and patio doors busted. Awful integrity. My parents were beyond disappointed. We will NEVER go back.

While waiting to order our food, we heard the couple behind us complaining about their meal, and the sympathetic waitress offered not to charge them for their watery over cooked halibut. We decided to skip the halibut and went for the Fisherman's Pot at $29. Think Prego spaghetti sauce with tiny bits of horrible over cooked fish and clams/mussels that looked and chewed like old gum. It was truly disgusting. My daughter got the chowder which we both agree was likely from a can (Campbell's?) Even the coffee tasted like it had been in the pot all day. Avoid at all cost. Macdonald's filet of fish would be better choice.

My husband and I were looking for a quick get away from Vancouver and this came to mind. It really is a fantastic view point for sunsets. The rooms are as expected, shabby and simple but charming and clean. One note though, there was a strong odour of stale cigarette smoke in the rooms we looked at. Once we were settled into our ocean front room with kitchenette, we popped over to the Extra foods in Sechelt for a bottle of Eucalyptus oil. Boil several drops in water on the stove top and the room will smell fresh for days. The place has wifi and you can bring pets for a surcharge of $15. There's also a great spot for coffee, tea, ice cream and other food items found right next door at Pier 17. I haven't been back to the Beach Buoy for fries and a shake but it's on the list.

While this particular hotel isn't in the same league as a luxury five star hotel, for the area and…read moreintended clientele I'd give it a five star rating. The location is rather cute with the back units facing Porpoise Bay directly below. It's full of duck and geese at low tide, with a marsh on the other side by the overflow parking lot -- it's all kinda funky! And oh, if your car's back up sensors are beeping, it's probably a goose waddling by. If it's not waddling it might be leaving little deposits! The units in 2025 just underwent renovations with apparently further improvements coming to the property (the check-in area perhaps). While the rooms aren't huge by any standards (we had a double bed room) decor and layouts are clean, modern and pleasing to the eye and functionality of use. Thru wall air conditioner units, while occasionally noisy, work well. The bedding is comfortable with good pillows, sheets and comforters. The dedicated cleaning staff do a great job -- though the center hallway by the supply room gets a bit crowded in the afternoon. The bathrooms are totally up-to-date, the toilets work well, the bathtub/shower setups are awesome (for those who find that important). The waterfall sink tap is a nice touch but at partial water flow the water drips down the tap pooling on the countertop. I noticed the modern wall pegs for towel hanging while bathing were coming out of the wall. When are renovators going to learn to place blocking behind drywall first? I did find the large window covering in our room, being a simple roller blind, was mounted over the window opening rather than inset. For the lower units with an outer walkway I felt it wasn't the best configuration for privacy. Also if your itinerary allows for sleeping in, it's probably best to get an upper unit as some travellers above you may be up early moving about. I don't know how cumbersome the stairs might be, etc. And hey, certainly the staff are entirely friendly and enthusiastic when we visited in the summer. Between 5 and 7 in the evening they will fire up the propane pit and bring out chocolate cookies and large marshmallows with a small stick. Um, bring your own napkins and hand wipes. There is very little parking directly at the front but a huge dedicated lot just across the road. I believe that lot has camera surveillance. There is a tent community a distance up the road currently, though there wasn't any apparent rift-raft where the hotel is located near the marina.

Ah, yes, things have changed mightily since the last review in 2019…read more In particular, it was recently purchased by Evergreen Hotel Group after a notice of discontinuance in a foreclosure case was filed. Before Evergreen, and as is evident by the reviews, the hotel was run into the ground by a succession of unscrupulous owners over several decades. It would have been a tremendous undertaking at the best of times, let alone making the investment, and doing all the upgrades, in the midst of some pretty heavy-handed travel restrictions. I'm awarding this inn full marks, as it's succeeded in partially breaking the Airbnb stranglehold/monopoly on the Sunshine Coast hospitality industry, and hopefully motivating the other hotels to step up to the plate by its example; it has rescued an otherwise perfectly acceptable venue from total ruin; it has provided a realistic alternative to the ridiculously priced competition. The management and staff are the very definition of hospitable; the rooms are clean and modernized, and the view out to Trail Bay is spectacular. However, there's always a catch: it's clear that with the pandemic that this is still a work in progress, but what they have already achieved over a very short period of time is very impressive. Highway 101 runs in front of the building, but the noise doesn't detract from one's enjoyment, and the highway is mostly silent late at night. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
