Ramada by Wyndham Campbell River

Room was comfortable but one of the bed had a dog smell.

Just little Old and Moldy at some places.

Staff were outstanding. The man at reception is from Birmingham England, and with us being from Liverpool, we had a lot in common. The breakfast was easy and tasty. Nothing to blow your socks off, but does enough. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. Price was a touch high for the dated hotel, but it is height of summer. Restaurant next door is lovely and they have a great selection of drinks. Overall, great stay. Particular shout to the staff 👊✅️

The included hot breakfast is always simple and nice, I find the eggs taste better (taste real) with a nice scrambled texture than most other hotels that include a continental breakfast. The waffle makers are always a hit with the kids and the bacon was delicious. I have not tasted good hotel coffee since I tend to enjoy dark roasted darkly brewed coffee or espresso but it was acceptable and actually better than what we found later at a coffee shop. We always love swimming in the pool, and ruminating on what is going on in the beautiful and unique mural they have on the wall in the pool house. The pool water quality felt clean and well balanced with no harsh asthma inducing chlorine smell and I didn't feel like my skin was shrinkwrapped on after a swim. Our suit was on the top floor (3rd floor) and had a cute loft for the beds (kids loved this) and a lovely view out to the ocean that we enjoyed taking in, especially the colourful sunrise and sunsets and looking down on the well established garden of flowering shrubs and perennials. The constant breeze from the ocean kept the room feeling and smelling fresh and the temperature pleasant when we opened the balcony door and back windows in the morning and late afternoon. We always do a "bed check" first thing whatever hotel/motel we stay in and the beds here have always been very clean with sweet smelling white linens and fluffy duvets and pillows. We appreciate the protective covers on the mattress and box spring as a safety measure and feel comfortable with the cleanliness which is obvious even with the finishing and fixtures being older (built in 1970, renoed in 2017) The front staff, kitchen staff and housekeeping have always been friendly and helpful.

We did not have a functioning kettle or coffee maker in our suite which was a teeny bit annoying but also easy to just go get coffee or tea in the breakfast room. A couple of the outlets also did not function and one had a cracked frame, there were still plenty of outlets to use though so only a minor inconvenience for fan placement. The fans were a necessary and welcome appliance as no AC. Keeping the curtains well closed from mid/late morning to later afternoon is a must for temperature control in summer. This was easy as we had a day of exploring and what not to do after breakfast and took off before the heat went up and the suit was a reasonable temperature to return to later.

Breakfast was good and so were the amenities (pool, BBQ, covered area for cooking outside).

The room is old and looked like it could use a deep clean! I found a used coffee filter in the coffee maker and another guest's toy under the bed.
