I stopped by to check out lodging availability, but decided to stay elsewhere, not because of the resort, which looked nice, but because of the unfriendly, arrogant, know-it-all attitude of one of the front desk staff members. It was clear that he did not care about my business, so I left, and found another (nicer) resort nearby. More

Please accept my apologies, for the poor service and attitude you experienced with one of my Guest Services staff. This is certainly not indicative of the staff here at the resort, and not acceptable. I will discuss your comments with the employee. Please contact me directly so I may apologize and perhaps I can offer you a complimentary night stay... More

Spectacular ocean view rooms with cozy fireplace and lovely deck. Run by first nations band and the employees are very warm and friendly. North coast aboriginal decor. A genuine nice place. Great housekeeping staff who taught us a few words of the local aboriginal language. A very welcoming and comfortable place to stay with small kitchenette. Loved it More

My husband and I stayed 6 nights, from Mar 18-24, 2012. We had a king suite with kitchenette on 3rd floor in building C. I'd recommend the location on MacKenzie Beach. Beautiful beach views right outside our balconey! The room was spacious, clean, cozy gas fireplace, and the kitchenette was very handy (fridge, 2 burner stove, microwave, and all the... More

We stayed at the Best Western Tin Wis for 3 nights of our 2 week trip to Canada. I have to say first impressions of the hotel on arrival were not fantastic - the hotel's external appearance seemed a little dated & needing a little attention. However, after a long drive, we were greeted by friendly front desk staff and... More

We really enjoyed staying at this motel. The view is fantastic! It is clean, quiet and comfortable. As with many Best Westerns, it is a motel trying hard for respect. We recommend it. The room and bathroom are a bit small, but acceptable. We also liked the free wi-fi, laundry and free parking. Our first impression was not the best... More

We went in the off season and were disappointed in some ways. Our room was clean and comfy, but not fully stocked. We had one package of decaf coffee. The dining room wasn't open for dinner (we were not told this in advance) and when we went for breakfast, our waiter got both of our orders wrong. The scenery was... More

We stayed for 3 nights just before the Easter long weekend. We brought our shepherd and had a pet-friendly room very close to the beach. The room was simple but nicely appointed and clean. We had a mini fridge which came in handy. The place suited our needs perfectly and we would definitely stay again. More
