Not fancy, not a dive, just what you would expect for an affordable low end stop on the island. One of the few in the area that accepted larger breed dogs so definitely props for that. Outside of an old bra found behind a headboard, both rooms we had were clean. May not be for everyone, but good for a... More

The VIP is your typical highway side motel. It is a little dated, nothing fancy but it is clean, the management freindly and the service good. If you are passing through Parksville and like us need a safe place in the middle of a bad accomodation storm I can reccomend the VIP Motel.

We found this little motel just as we were entering Parksville. Very nice and helpful staff. Quaint little room, with comfortable bed and well equipped Kitchenette and full bathroom. Just a few minutes drive from Rathtrevor Beach and a short drive to the centre of Parksville.

We were looking for a place that had an extra bedroom as we were travelling with an young woman who is not part of our family. This place was perfect for us. The suite was very spacious. The two televisions sets were as surprise as were the number of comfortable chairs and the invitation to get anything you might have... More

We stayed at the VIP motel for four nights in November while visiting family nearby. Even though it was a long weekend and the motel seemed pretty busy, they gave us a king room for the price of a regular which really was a bonus. The room was clean and large with TV, two comfortable chairs, a kitchenette with a... More

Great little motel. Right on the Island Highway. Clean and secure. Pet friendly. Even have a good continental breakfast available in the office to eat in your room.

We stayed at the VIP Motel and are very enthousiastic about it. The room was big and clean and everything you need is there! The bed was comfortable and the wifi worked like a charm. The rooms are very well insulated against noise and all windows have screens to keep the bugs out. The car can be parked right in... More

We needed a place to stay for one night before taking the ferry from Nanaimo to Vancouver the next day. Nothing is cheep on Vancouver Island in the summer. We called this place as we were driving into Parksville. Several other places advertised low prices but only if they were booked on line in advance. Given our last minute search... More

We wanted to spend the evening in Parksville after a long day at the beach to avoid a long drive home. we were travelling with our small Dog and due to our poor planning we were not having much luck in finding a vacancy on the evening that we wanted to stay. We called the VIP and they had a... More
