My wife and I checked into the Best Western Cowichan Inn on December 27th. We had come over from Saltspring Island when she started labour so that she could be close to the Duncan hospital when it came time to have our baby. From the moment we walked in to the hotel the staff were kindness itself and very caring... More

Dear Newfietraveller.... It was a pleasure having you stay with us, especially at such a special time for you and your family. Our staff very much appreciated all of the kind words you posted and for that I thank you. And so in return, in the most Canadian way I can think of we offer you this very personal response:... More

We stayed here over Christmas while visiting family in Duncan, BC. I was actually dreading it because we'd stayed here a few years ago and found it dingy, depressing, and noisy. But things have changed for the better since then. This is a decent little commuter hotel since it's been refurbished. Modern paint colors, decent beds, nice bedding, very clean,... More

Located just north of Duncan and 50K south of Nanaimo, one place to stop on the way to Victoria if you are tired, if you are not push on Basic Rooms with a small fridge and tea/coffee making facilites. Fitness room is very small and not really worth it. There is a pub attached so you can have a drink,... More

I have stayed at this hotel on business on many occasions. I have to stay it is even better now they have updated the bar area. I hope they do the same for the rooms (they are OK but a little TLC wouldn't go amiss).

Location and consistency. I have stayed at this location several times last year and this year. The location is great when I am travelling up and down the island. The food in the pub has always been flavorful and a good value. I always get a room close to the front desk and I have never had an issue with... More

Several of my colleagues have stayed here on business so felt confident in booking a room for the weekend. We had requested a rollout bed for our son who was with us but this was not in the room when we arrived. When I asked one was provided but it was broken so my son had the choice of feet... More

While the outside of the hotel looks quite dated, I was pleasantly surprised with my room. For a basic business stay in the area I would recommend. Reasonable rates, rooms have been updated with newer furniture, flat panel TVs. I am a clean freak that travels with disinfectant wipes (seriously!) and the room was super clean. Love that! Wifi worked... More

Checked in on a Sunday night. From the time I walked in, it felt a little weird. The front desk lady was checking her Facebook account on the public lobby computer when I arrived. Another staff member had to motion to her to assist me at the front desk. I arrived with luggage, and was waiting at the front desk,... More

Once in a while comments are made that give one pause for consideration. This is one of those. The desk clerk may or may not have been checking her Facebook status or some other thing, which on a Sunday night in a small town in British Columbia will help the staff to fill in some time on what is usually...

Ok, I had to stay in this hotel for 2 nights. My ranking of "poor" is based on the expectations of a 3 star hotel. Location - First of all, Duncan is pretty small so I'd think most of the hotels are pretty well located. This hotel was off the main highway and beside a Tim Horton's and a Coldstone.... More

We will do our best to respond in point form as the review was written. Check In: No issues and we're glad that no chocolate was wasted on a guest that would only complain about the shape. Room: A standard room is correct. We're a Best Western, not a Four Seasons. Every year there are a few people that may... More
