Then there is a lot of screaming and yelling in the middle of the night and extremely foul language as the homeless person is evicted. Happened twice during our 5 night stay. We would have left but everything else in the area was booked. Anther night we were awoken again by drunk guests who were sitting outside their room at 1 in the morning talking loudly. Sound really caries under that overhang. I have always stayed here when I come to Duncan to visit my mother but it's really gone downhill since my last visit. The rooms are clean but we will never stay here again. Horrible!

There are sketchy homeless people roaming the parking lots at night so keep your cars locked.

Lots of outlets for plugging stuff in and fast charging USB outlets. Hotel has a gym and includes breakfast and free parking. Breakfast includes grab and go options like yogurt and granola bars, but also hot food items, including scrambled eggs, potatoes, suasage, and ham. Light in gym is on a timer, turned off, and I was in the dark in the middle of a run in the treadmill lol. Nonetheless, a good mix of equipment, though small. Fridge doesn't have a freezer and didn't seem cold enough. Noisy as can hear reception and traffic from rooms on the ground floor. Woken up at 5am by someone's door closing, sounded like it happened right next to my head. Place needs to be spundproofed as any noise in the hall can be heard inside the rooms. Shower walls need to be cleaned better, there were a couple of hairs left behind. Also, the dispenser amenities are just not as sanitary and reliable as the mini bottles. The body wash was open and clearly had been open for awhile and was congealing/out of product.

My wife and I stayed at the Duncan Motel for 6 nights while we were exploring the area…read more The motel is about a block from the Trans Canada highway and conveniently located near the library, downtown, restaurants, and coffee houses. The photos of rooms may have been taken a few years ago when the motel was given a modern vibe makeover. The modern touches are still nice though there has been some wear. The room we stayed in is considered a deluxe and comes with a big TV, microwave, coffee maker, AC, and a small refridgerator with tiny freezer.  Our small room had a comfy bed with bedside lights and outlets for charging devices. Wifi is good.  There is a small table with two chairs in the room for reading or breakfast though the weather was so nice we often sat at the table outside our unit. The shower is a joy! It is a spacious walk in with a large window for light and plenty of hot water. Towels, soap, shampoo, and lotion are provided. The motel has a laundry area that is open 8am-8pm.  The Duncan Motel is in a quiet area transitioning into an area with more apartment buildings. No, it's not the best neighborhood, but is safe and very walkable. The manager closes the big gate at the entry from 11pm-5am to add further security. Staff are super friendly and helpful and we have met some other very nice young and older guests. I definitely recommend the Duncan Motel for your next Cowichan Valley stay.

But the room was clean as were bedding and towels. Bathroom was clean. TV didnt work really, kept randomly shutting off. Didnt really want it for anything other than background noise in AMs so not an issue for me. Kinda dark and narrow tiled hallways. Stairs only. Friendly folks that I interacted with. I used it as a 2 day Basecamp for an event in nearby Mill Bay. For a place to sleep and shower it worked for me. Had my wife been along....probably would have moved along to another place further N in Duncan.

False advertising is an understatement. The review: Terrible hard beds, generally filthy, no fans or ac in rooms. The staff was nice but we almost couldn't check in because we planned to use our debit card that we booked with, but were told on arrival they don't accept debit cards. Thankfully we have one credit card and had to use that to pay. The room was stuffy as there was no ventilation or cooling system of any kind. The mattresses were rock hard, and we couldn't sit up in the beds because there were giant framed prints on the walls from the top of the tiny headboards to the ceiling. The dirty tile hallways were not only reminiscent of an abandoned hospital basement, but terribly loud when people were rolling their suitcases down the hall at all hours. The TV was even just sad and barely functioned. The continental breakfast might as well be taken away. No fresh fruit, no hard boiled eggs or pastry or muffins. Cold cereal, old granola bars (the one I tried to eat tasted like it lived in the bottom of a soccer mom's purse for at least 3 seasons) yogurt, lunch box fruit cups, juice, weak coffee. I don't usually expect much for a continental breakfast but this was about as minimal and low effort as it gets, and the breakfast room was a mess of old sofas, old beat up dirty looking tables and chairs, and some brand new chairs. The entire place needs some serious structural attention, a good scrubbing, and maybe just cut the room rates a bit and get rid of breakfast in favor of a couple of well-stocked vending machines. We stay at Super 8 lodging frequently when we get the chance to travel and this was by far the worst place we've ever stayed. We don't expect luxury but we do expect a fan and/or AC unit, a bed that feels more mattress than concrete, oh and a toilet that doesn't seem like came from a bathroom meant for tiny short children. This place seems like it was a an old run down motel that Super 8/Wyndham purchased, they slapped some new signs up and made exactly zero improvements. Sad.

Run! Run as far and as fast as you can from this place. Recently stayed in this hotel with preteen…read moregranddaughter. Due to a booking error there were 2 reservations in my name. Owner was very adamant that I pay for both rooms even though it was an obvious mistake. When I was trying to explain that I only made 1 reservation he kept asking to see my phone. When I went into my email he grabbed my phone and scrolled through my emails. He then said he'd give me a 40% discount on one of the rooms if I gave him an exceptional review which I did not agree to do. Further into our argument he changed to 30% and then back to 40 when I said you said 40. He then filled out paperwork for both rooms and insisted that I sign them both. When I said I wanted keys to both rooms he said no you only get key for 1 room. I said if I am paying for both I get both keys. He said no and held onto key until I signed both papers. I felt so violated by that entire experience. He later called my cell phone to see if I wanted or needed anything??? The rooms are very old and dated and do not look like pictures posted. Bathroom appears to have mould around floorboards. Beds were very lumpy and only had a bedsheet and itchy old blanket to cover with. The housekeepers do an excellent job of making the rooms presentable. Overall with the sketchy owner this hotel is the epitome of Fleabag hotel. I do not recommend at all
