Book Arrowsmith-Benson hotels

Water vuew

Where the hotel is located is very close to the airport, so for people like me needing to go there, they aren't far from it. The only thing I have a negative experience with was the cards for the doors, it just flashes the doors both red and green, not either one specifically, so it was really confusing the first time that happened.

Kids loved the pool/hot tub! Great to have a restaurant onsite. Many bugs. Cleaning below par. Room had finger nails and a safety pin left on the floor, after cleaned again you could tell the floor was simply mopped and the yuck and nails and pin were along the wall after they were done.

Last minute decision to stay in Parksville on our way home. On arrival our room was upgraded. Very pleasant surprise.,

The staffwere frienly and accomodated us when we arrived before checkin time.

The staff were friendly and went to great lengths to make our stay enjoyable, especially the restaurant employees. But the hotel is located in a part of town that feels run down and lifeless though efforts have been made to revitalize the area. It was convenient for us to spend a delightful day on Gabriola Island but I did feel eager to wander the area near the hotel.
