At first glance, the Ocean Crest appears to be an ordinary budget motel. Once you get in the room, however, you see that everything is fresh, tastefully updated and absolutely spotless. The management is very friendly and helpful. This property is better than a lot of the three and four star chain hotels I've stayed in for years. Next time I'm in the Qualicum area, this is where I'll be booking. Strongly recommended!

The exterior of the hotel looks old but we were very pleased with our room. It was the double queen bedroom. Newly renovated, clean and the beds were very comfortable. A short walk into town and very close to a very good restaurant , The Shelter. Would absolutely stay here again.

The room was clean, the bed comfortable and appreciated being on the ground floor. Liked the brand of coffee but there was no coffee creamer substitute. Instructions of how to use coffee maker would have been helpful but perhaps I missed them.
