Stayed for one night based on tripadvisor reviews and found motel to be as advertised. Reception was prompt, courteous and efficient- felt welcomed on arrival. Room was clean, and we were surprised it was as quiet as it was considering motel location near main road. Motel is close to all Parksville amenities, overall a good choice.

Even if you are staying in a non-kitchenette room you are provided with a mini fridge and microwave. The rooms have wall mounted flat screens and the office provides free dvd rentals (with a... More

It was a early get away for us to Ucluelet and we decided to stop the night in Parksville. As we had no complaints with Arbutus Motel. This time we did not have a reservation and the clerk at the desk had a great room and of course it had to be pet friendly as we had our small dog.... More

We stayed in the Arbutus Grove Motel for three nights! We found it to be very comfortable and very affordable. The rooms have been newly renovated and are very clean and quiet. The beds were extremely comfy and the extra blanket they provide is like a teddy bear. The staff is very friendly. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

This is by far the most amazing motel in, Parksville. Glamour meets modernity. I have had the pleasure of staying here three times and I wish I could live here. The staff are very friendly, definitely not snooty given the grand surroundings, we felt very at home. Our room was wonderful, very clean, lovely furnishings, and an amazing clean bathroom.... More

As a traveling salesman I've spent thousands of nights in hotels and motels and when I come across a place like Arbutus Grove Motel in Parksville, I feel the need to stop and write a few words to other travelers. Hotels and motels are businesses - some well run some not. Arbutus is the pace to stay. Not fancy, but... More

Stayed for one night on the way from Victoria to Tofino. Room was clean, quiet. Didn't spend much time there, just overnight before leaving early the next morning. A little steep for an overnight stay but at least it was clean and comfortable.
