Loved it
It is a quirky little Hotel.... very old school with actual door keys. Just wish they would auto lock as some one accidentally came into our room because they thought it was theirs. Great location walking distance to just about everything. Air-conditioning would have nice a couple of nights but not terribly bad. Coffee shop and Restaurant onsite were both good. I would book here again

I loved the hotel’s decor and found it to be very clean, you could see it has a revamp recently so everything felt new and fresh. I was incredibly disappointed with the service however. We went to the reception desk numerous times and were met with unprofessional behaviour between staff members, banging on windows and waving at other people while we were waiting to be served, we were ignored for a few minutes. We also have to say the service in the restaurant/hotel bar was also terrible. Our server ignored us and when asked by a server if they could take our order they told us he wasn’t our server but he’d send ours down… we felt like we weren’t able to as for anything then. Our food came down cold and it took nearly 10 mins for someone to come with 1 beer to us. We also hear off duty staff of the facility sitting next to us being loud and drunk, which really put us off. If you are looking for some peace and quiet in Tofino then it’s not the place for you.

4/5 stars, watch your shins!
Room was clean, bed was super comfortable, bathroom was small but very modern. The building is old so no fridges in rooms but are provided coolers and free ice. No elevator. Cons - the bed frames blend in with the floor so watch your shins, and the lobby/check in was difficult to find in the multiple entrance building. Loved that the staff checked in throughout the stay and were very courteous. Bonus, free cocktail upon check-in! Cafe staff were quick and food/drink wad delicious. Pub staff were great as well. Beautiful view and very centrally located, walking distance to most things! Overall would definitely stay again.

We stayed at the Maq April 2024. Location is in the heart of Tofino, easily walkable to shops, restaurants & tour services. Parking was provided behind the hotel at no charge. Our rooms were clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The “mini fridge” was a cooler and ice was provided free of charge at the Maq liquor store. Perfectly suited our needs. Since we stayed off season, the hotel dining room was open only one night during our stay, food was really good with affordable pricing. There is a beautiful patio off the restaurant and lobby. We happened to hit “wine Wednesday” for 1/2 price bottles of wine, so that was an added bonus! The coffee shop in the lobby offers snacks and good coffee. We loved the eclectic feel of the hotel, the decor and that the Maq is dog friendly as is the town. Next time we visit, we will be bringing ours. Any staff we interacted with at the hotel were friendly and knowledgeable. Our future visits to Tofino will ensure a stay at the Maq, and there will be a next visit. Tofino is a fun little town, there is something for everyone and such a natural wonder that we and Canada are so fortunate to have.

The outside of the hotel is nothing like the inside. What they did with this over 70 year old hotel is amazing!!! Only thing is there is no elevator but staff are happy to help with carrying luggage to the 2nd floor. Would definitely say at the Maq again.
