location

beds too soft

Short on hot water the second morning. No option for hot water or tea. Didn’t like the coffee, too strong.

The place is in dire need of an upgrade. At least the view and the beach were nice.

location, balcony

no ice

The room was clean and cute. A lot of effort has been made to make the decor pleasant.

The bath water was not hot — barely warm. Our showers were very short and uncomfortable. The beds are old style mattress and bounce around every time the other person moves. As a result, my spouse and I slept in separate beds. The room smelled very musty until the heat brought it up to temperate (or our noses quit smelling it - like when you make a new friend and their house smells weird, but only the first time or two.

Cosy room with a wonderful view and easy access from the road. Plenty of towels, fridge and coffee machine was appreciated. Checking in and out went fairly smooth despite not having met the reception staff/manager/owner. If you want to eat dinner out it is important to know that several of the restaurants nearby only are open Wed-Sun. I was there on a Tuesday... However the staff att the adjacent liqour store advised me to Deez 10 minutes walk away and I had great food there.

Information regarding checkout when no staff was there and door to office was locked could have been clearer.

great place wonderful staff beautiful view

Great location and views very clean

Bathroom

cute little gem .. beautiful view …. comfy bed

extremely clean, friendly and accommodating. highly recommend

I enjoyed it all

Great location and immaculately clean facility!

The decor is outdated but the kitsch strangely added to the room’s charm.

I have written lots of reviews but this place deserves a perfect rating. Nice man, clean room, modern and pleasing decor, EXCELLENT coffee, and the view could not be better. Simply the nicest place we have stayed at on Vancouver Island ever.

Great views - right by the water. Fully functional kitchenette and Nespresso machine. Very comfortable bed. Quiet suite with a fireplace I was thrilled when at check in I was told my room had been upgraded especially since I was staying for five nights. I felt like I was in an apt and all I needed was to go buy groceries. Problems with the internet the first day were sorted out quickly.

These is more a reflection of the location and wouldn't impact anyone coming with a vehicle. I didn't come with a vehicle. I thought that the local bus traveled both ways along the highway in and out of town but it only went one way and only every hour until just before six. While the walk into town took less than 30 mins and was enjoyable it wasn't doable after dark or when it was raining heavy.

AMAZING BEDS! Cute set up, with balcony, sitting area, coffee maker, fridge, and microwave. Super clean, generous amenities in the room. Great location.

Absolutely nothing to dislike

We don’t normally stay in Motels but we were limited to where we could go because there was a tournament in town. First impressions and availability encouraged us to book. Casa Grande Inn was welcoming and felt like a Spanish getaway with the motel structure. It didn’t feel like a motel because of the fun entrance by taking the outdoor elevator up to our floor. It was enjoyable.Quaint and quite comfortable with great attention to detail. “mi casa es su casa” feeling .Creative folded towels and thankful for kitchenette with fridge and microwave! (toaster, kettle) You don’t get that at a reasonable price in a regular hotel room. I requested an extra blanket and 2 wine glasses and they remembered. They made a heart in the blanket that was cute. Great attention to details! Fantastic views of the beach right across the street! could see a seal in the water from our patio. “Shady Rest” restaurant across the street ate dinner first night and took in the views. Tried 2pc fish and chips with mojito, sticky toffee pudding for dessert. All was amazing! Lastly, a notebook and pen to add thoughts and suggestions of every customers stay. Thought that was clever. We walked on the beach and took in the sites.

liked everything!

The owner was very friendly and volunteered to upgrade us to a room with a king sized bed. the view across the water.

Very noisy - traffic noise late into the night, noise from other guests through the walls, noise from the refrigerator and other things in the room — so much noise that we gave up trying to sleep and left at 5:00 am.

Every little detail was thought of to make a guest comfortable - more so than even a 5 star hotel.

Nothing - everything was perfect

It was such a cozy hotel room. Small touches which were so nice a guest book, real wine glasses, Nespresso machine, and chairs to overlook the ocean, both inside and out. Had a large TV as well which was nice. The gentleman at the front desk was so friendly, helpful and welcoming. He suggested Deez for dinner which also had amazing fish and chips.

There is a fair amount of noise from the highway being in front of the property. Not much they can do, but it would have been nice to leave our door open just way too noisey.
