Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Maq Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Maq Hotel places you right in downtown Tofino, within walking distance of shops and offering harbor views from select rooms. Guests appreciate the modern decor and on-site amenities such as the café, restaurant, and even a brewery shop. The inclusion of thoughtful extras like beach bags and coolers is a definite plus, though some guests have noted the absence of a refrigerator or coffee/tea making facilities in the rooms; instead, ice is available for the provided cooler. With free parking available, it's a convenient base for exploring local attractions like bear and whale watching tours.

the staff were great. i spoke with a receptionist, a server, and even the chef early one morning. they were all very friendly young people. the location is central for exploring the region. the food and drinks at the bierhaus were excellent.
my room was warm because there is no ac. the wifi was spotty. the tv often froze because of the wifi problems. the room did have red ants and silverfish.

i found the staff very friendly and helpful . the location was very convenient, right in the downtown area, providing easy access to restaurants. i appreciated that the hotel was modern and had a warm, inviting lobby. the coffee shop felt family-oriented and provided a relaxed environment.
i thought a fridge in the room would have been beneficial, it felt a little like camping without one.
