We spent one night at this hotel. The power was out from Port Alberni to Tofino (20 000 people) so the restaurant was not open and it was very quiet. The girl at the front desk (the owner) was very nice with us. We talked with her for a half of hour and it was very funny and interesting. The... more

My boyfriend and I just got back from a 2 night stay at the Inn at Tough City. Even though we had a fabulous vacation, this Hotel was definitely not the highlight. The Hotel looks beautiful from the Outside, but we didn't have a very comfortable stay. The whole Hotel smells like Sushi of course, from the restaurant below. This... more

Upon check in, we have been told check out time is 2 PM so I thought they were so nice to allow us for late check out. We were staying there for 2 night. On the check out day, we went for breakfast at 11:30 am and back to the hotel at 12:25 just to take my luggage. Once I... more

We stayed at Tough City for 2 nights in June, and it wasn't long enough. The Inn is located on the water front in Tofino, and offered great views from our room (#4) of the goings on in the harbour. Our room was spacious with a comfy bed, balcony, bathroom with a huge soaker tub. The room was clean and... more

It's not a resort, but if you're looking for a place to kickback and take your shoes on the deck then this is the place. It's a unique hotel and loved the service. Especially Francine at the Front Desk. Room was OK. We stayed in room and it has a nice view of the bay. The sushi at the Restaurant... more

Fabulous view from some of the rooms but a somewhat quirky hotel with an owner who is also equally strange. Rooms are OK but you have to be willing to be a bit flexible on the standard of cleaniness more

Enjoyable

This was a cute little place and very enjoyable stay for us. It is centrally located in the town of Tofino and would require a car drive to reach major beaches in the area. We found it to be clean, friendly, and good value for the money . Glad we stayed here instead of the Wick!. Crazy Ron was a... more

Crazy Ron, the proprietor was definitely a jovial pirate in a former life. He is not for the weak at heart, but if you have an open mind and an adventure is what you seek, Crazy Ron will not disappoint. The sushi at his restaurant is top notch and If you are lucky, Crazy Ron just might tell you his... more

I just recently returned from Tofino and a three night stay at the Inn at Tough City. Tofino was the subject of a national Canadian news story as the town's water supply was decreasing to a level that precipitated business closings and mass confusion. It also exacerbated some fundamental problems with the Inn. I telephoned before I even got there... more

We came up on the Inn at Tough City as our last resort if we wanted to visit Tofino. We ended up staying in two different rooms (#3 & #4) and were happy with both. #4 was a bit more money, but definitely worth it as it had a wonderful view of the ocean and harbour. The bathroom was also... more
