What a great experience we had at The Maq. The reception from Ivory was great (and so was the cocktail!) We were able to store our bicycles in a locked compound. The food in the Bear House Restaurant was wonderful. All in all, this is a great, funky place to stay. The entire staff were welcoming and friendly.

Great bed! No coffee in room, no a/c, no small frig. Coffee you can purchase downstairs but coffee shop doesn’t open till 7:30. And you get an ice chest. Beautiful place, but it’s glamping! Would like a few more amenities, esp. coffee maker or open coffee shop earlier.

Walkable to downtown. Would have appreciated them having a coffee maker in the room. There's also no counter space in washroom to place your toiletries on.

Really sweet place, love the artistic/West Coast feel :) The only glitch was finding out there was no bathtub, so no hot soak after catering the Private Dinner Party that I was in town to facilitate. Given that it would quite a challenge to install bathtubs at this point, perhaps have one outdoor hot tub on site, to make up for this?

Great place to stay in the heart of Tofino. Super friendly staff in all aspects of the property and excellent food and drinks at the Bear Bierhaus! Rooms were quiet and clean and the whole property is super dog friendly which was a must for us. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back!
