Nice, clean room with 2 queen beds. There was cross ventilation, so we didn't need to use the AC at night. There was a sweet spray smell in the room which was a bit strong, but otherwise everything was fine.
This small motel had a great location and the owner was very helpful and friendly. Rooms were your basic style motel rooms. The place was clean and quite had everything you need. We would stay here again.
The only reason I stayed at the Ocean Crest was because I couldn't get a room at the two nearby hotels on the waterside. Ocean Crest is a low-budget place, only not a low-budget price -- $97.75 for a single person for one night, after season. Everything in the room looked about 10 years old. For $100, the room didn't... more
Arrived late at night after a long drive and found this place. No barganing about the 99 dollar unfortunately, but the price/quality was definately ok. Friendly folks and the rooms and locations are very good. Near a few restaurants and bars. All in all a pleasant short stay.
We stayed here for one night and enjoyed a relaxing time. We also enjoyed the sun on the chairs by the grass at the back of the motel. The room itself was spacious, comfortable and very clean. As others say its across from the beach but it's also close to places to eat and so we just walked to dinner... more
Never ever felt a bed or chairs that hard in my life. Bed is a mattress on top of a solid wooden box no give at all. Reclining chairs are the same. Pillows are hard as rocks too tired to sleep on top of three pillows and couldn't stay on them. Paid for two nights going to beg for second... more
We stayed one night here while in town for a wedding. Room was quiet except for a little noise from the stairs in the morning. Right across the street from the beach. Host was very accommodating when we checked in late. Also we managed to leave a cell phone behind which was mailed back to us promptly. Wish we could... more
This was a pleasant surprise, a stopover between from the Aurora Explorer Coastal trip and the Nanaimo ferry. Very clean, roomy, location across the street from the beach. Staff helpful, lots of room to park, and the air conditioning was reasonably quite at night. Nice grass area with tables to just sit and enjoy morning coffee.There are lots of motels/hotels... more
We stayed here for one night on our way to Tofino. The room was very clean, the premises were also clean and the host was very friendly and helpful. Across the street from beach access. Close to restaurants. Comfortable.
Ocean Crest has everything you need: quiet, clean, comfortable, walking distance to good restaurants and pubs and only a short walk to the water-front. There is also a nice garden area to sit out and there's a BBQ which I assume is for guests' use.
The place is very clean and the management is very friendly. The only complaint that I have is that it is not close enough to the ocean for my taste. When I go to the ocean I want to be right on the water front. The drive to the ocean is not far at all though, and that is why... more
This hotel cost us $90 inc. tax for one night, room only. We've learned not to expect the same standard of hotel for that money as we'd get at home. By local North American standards, it was good for that price. The rooms were clean, if a little worn. Odd layout with the hand sink in the room, beside the... more
Been Staying here with Family for 10 years! Great Value for 2 people to 4 people. very clean and close to the ocean. Restaurants are close by as well as qualicum beach town only 5 mins away. Great Hiking trails! Would come back again!
The motel, while on the main road, was nice and quiet. They have a noise policy which seemed to be honored. The rooms were air conditioned and the beds were quite comfortable. It was walking distance to the beach and nearby restaurants and pub. Great value for the money!
This motel is a little older than some others along this ocean strip of the Island Highway, and in most ways it's pretty standard fare; however, it's very clean and the owners make a consistent effort to keep it well-maintained. We have stayed here four times in the past year, latterly in Dec.2011. We've always had two queens and a... more
Nice, clean motel. Very good value compared to other establishments, mainly due to being on the opposite side of the road from the beach. Rooms are standard motel fare, but well maintained.
This motel is the best deal around. It is an older motel but rooms are very clean, bright, and the kitchenette was well equipped. Location is great - right across the road from the beach with beach access down a little road. At $114 for four of us, this was great value.
My family of 5 adults stayed at the Ocean Crest Motel in July 2009. The motel is very basic and somewhat dated. However, the rooms are clean; the location is across the street from the beach; the bed was comfortable; it was quiet; and the price was reasonable. We had only a short drive into town for anything we might... more
A solid 4 in every category. The price in August 2008 is $104 per night but that is good in this area at this time. This is a 2.5 star facility and must be judged as such.
The kitchen was adequately equipped. We had one queen bed and 2 easy chairs plus a table with 2 chairs and a chair...

We stayed here Apr 30 & May 1. The room was quite clean & bright. We had a room with 2 double beds (which were quite comfy) & a small kitchenette. It had a good sized mini fridge, 2 burner stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, kettle, fry pan & 2 pots. It was suitable for cooking a complete meal, which... more
We have stayed at this motel for several years with many members of our family. The price is fair. There is pride in the ownership. It is exceptionally clean and the beds are comfortable. We have stayed at least 6 times and always happy. We need no extra ammenities so have not needed to ask for any other service from... more
