Very polite staff. Room was clean. Bed was very comfortable. Only negative was the parking lot. It was very small and spots were super tight to get in and out of. But, given the price, it was acceptable. Would recommend to a friend

The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The shower was great, and the beds very comfortable. We had a small kitchen area which was extremely well equipped. Parking is easy, and near rooms. There is a pleasant outdoor area to sit at. The superb beach is only across the road, which is safe and easy to walk across.

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.
