There was an event outside the hotel during the day. Although we asked for an early check in- the front desk failed to mention there is NO parking, streets all around the hotel are closed and that it doesn’t open until 10pm!
We went to a friends in Parksville for dinner instead of checking in early and came back around 945. Upon check in we were told there is 1 spot left in the lot a block away from the hotel. That there are no options closer (at the front door entrance road) unless we are gone by 8am. We were travelling with a wedding and had totes of things that could not stay in the truck in such a crappy neighbourhood.
As we are loading the luggage cart with all of our things the lady says “ there is a slight step to your room” I explain we have lots of things as she can see, and she says there are no other rooms. We wait for the elevator that is TINY and has a CORNER! Only the luggage cart and me and my husband barely fit inside. We get to our floor to not find a step but a 5 stair staircase! My husband just pushed the rolling cart right down, to the very end of the hallway where our room is. We are laughing hysterically because this is so insane! We open our room, to then find that the floor and everything is slopped so much that the luggage cart rolls to one end hahahah
DONT STAY HERE, your vehicle parked by the beach would be better.
