I was even offered freshly baked cookies (literally -- the concierge had to run to get the cookies out of the oven) during my midnight check-in. I chose this hotel mainly for its dog-friendly 1-bedroom suite. For an 8-night stay, I need a kitchen and a washer and dryer. Not all 1-bedroom suites have a washer and dryer, so be sure to request one. The suite was very clean and updated. Kitchen was fully stocked and there was a dishwasher as well. I got a massage at the spa and that was great. It was a very clean facility. As a guest at the hotel, you get 15% off services. The only thing I didn't like was the location of the fitness center. It was located in the super creepy basement. As a female traveling solo, I was extra alert going to and from the fitness center. As for the fitness center itself, it had some outdated cardio, but plenty of free weights and even a bench. It is... sufficient at best but better than nothing.

I scored lower than 5 on the above review for a couple of reasons…read more (1) When I was called about confirming the reservation, the host did not explain why they were calling to offer our group different rooms (had booked a room with two double beds and were asked about a room with a single double bed and sofabed instead). (2) In one of the rooms where I slept with another occupant, there was a condensing unit that was dripping. This kept us awake. I was able to obtain earplugs from the customer service desk (helpful). However, upon check-out, we received an apology about the dripping unit. It was implied that it was our own fault that we had chosen not to rebook a different room. Had there been any inclination that there was an issue with the room, of course, we would have rebooked. So, not only were we *not* told that there was an issue with the room, but we were met with resistance and as one of the checkout folks said, "gentle suggestion for next time, accept the offer of another room to rebook". I was annoyed but kept this to myself and instead said would they please address their unit. Anyway - I will make sure not to stay there again.

We had a good stay at Bayview Hotel in Courtney. It is right on a main highway and access is very…read moreeasy. They have a large parking lot and finding parking was never a problem. It is included in the room rate. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. We had a booked a view room but there really isn't much of a view - overlooking part of the parking lot and some trees on the back of the property. The water is too far away to have much of a view. The room is a very good size with 2 double beds and a chair for sitting. It was clean and well taken care of. The air conditioning worked well and was nice and quiet. We slept very well. The room was nicely cleaned during the 3 days of our stay. Breakfast was very good. I liked the fact that they varied the hot dishes slightly each morning so that you had options for hot food during breakfast. The dining room is very small though and it was frequently necessary to share a table with other guests. My husband went to the swimming pool but it is an indoor pool and he said that it felt very muggy and had a strong smell of chlorine which he found very unpleasant. Overall it was a good visit and we would likely stay again.

I'd give it five stars because compared to our week in cheap motels on the Sunshine Coast, Bayview…read moreback on Vancouver Island was heavenly. Large clean, modern rooms well laid out. We had a double bed unit for three family members. Perhaps missing were a spare luggage rack and a kettle, maybe. Though the coffee machine does tea. The breakfast room has truly hot water if you need some. That service appears 24/7 along with the brewed coffee but confirm that with the desk. At breakfast there was decaf too. And. The cold drink dispenser only works during the breakfast hours of 6:30 to 9:30am M-F, 7-10am S&S. The a/c unit in the suite is a commercial-grade unit that's very quiet. The bedding is top notch and we found the mattresses to be wonderful. Bathrooms are appropriately clean and modern. The pool and hot tub were a welcome addition on a humid evening. The pool isn't huge and not too deep and the hot tub/whirlpool safe for supervised children. The waterslide is amazingly high for a hotel and a thrilling ride down -- though you probably should pinch your nose as you hit the exit slush channel. Water hitting your feet shoots straight up your nostrils! There are lots of towels and a change room where you should shower first. There's no shoes allowed with a small cubby for them. Bring minimal valuables. Located in the pool room hall are vending dispensaries. Bring change or some machines also accept $5 and $10's. This is where the ice machine is located. There is a 24 hour fitness room on the main floor though when I went by at 10:30 pm there were a large contingent of small children playing almost out of control on the equipment. Obviously an evening playground for parents to bring their youngsters. Um, no thank you. There was a clean, efficient laundry room on our third floor. Probably every floor. The front staff were friendly on arrival and one fellow gave us a great recommendation for a nearby pub restaurant that truly had the biggest servings I've ever experienced. He'd given us very accurate information. The complimentary continental breakfast buffet area is reasonably large, clean, bright and efficiently laid out. With cold and hot items available there is practically something for everyone. Shirt and shoes. No pets. For seconds get a clean plate please. The hot item can rotate in the morning from sausages to sausage patties and scrambled eggs to egg patties (for instance) depending on the time you arrive. It gets busy the later you go and seating for a family might be challenging depending on how busy it is and how many single business persons sit by themselves taking up the larger seating tables. I've taken individual pics of the food/drink stations just in case anyone using this review wants to check it out first. It was all good, though the scrambled eggs were a little bland but there's great omelettes and cold, peeled hard boiled eggs in a cooler for you. The hotel has lots of parking and there's a lovely walking path behind the hotel with an approximately 30" loop past marshy areas and a light plane landing strip. I'd use this hotel again no problem. Very quiet night. It's family friendly...maybe a bit too much so but that's okay. At least the kids weren't glued to device screens. There are pet friendly rooms on the first floor with some restrictions on where they can go. We didn't use the wifi or tv but from all appearances selection, speed and use look top notch. Rooms come with an alarm clock and lighting is good. The platform bed preclude leaving item behind under the beds.

Our accommodation cancelled on us so we then had to find a two bedroom and this was one of the only…read moreones we could find. Reading reviews and the low price compared to everything else left us a little concerned but we thought oh well, only for a couple of nights. Our expectations were low and we were so pleasantly surprised. First impression was the lady in our office and she was so helpful, stressing that if anything was wrong let her know, giving us food suggestions and you honestly felt really welcomed. The room, we had two bedrooms was spacious, the beds were super comfortable and most importantly, it was really clean. The room had a big fridge freezer, microwave and coffee machine. If you were going to be critical and look for things, the paint on the wall is scruffed, the window paint in the bathroom needs redoing, and the toilet seems to be on a slight slant. The pool and hot tub also were not in service. We stayed here because we needed somewhere but we would stay here by choice again, especially when you consider the price. We have no complaints!

I like that there are lots of outdoor tables and chairs and that it includes a contiental breakfast. Would like to see recycling in the breakfast room. It takes forever for water to run hot and on checkout, I heard another guest say their phone didn't work. Seems to be a spot where people stay for longer stints, especially seniors. Location is convenient and walking distance to downtown and the marina.
