"Clean and comfortable for short stay"

"The view from our room was great. Staff tried to upsell us to move to a higher floor for extra $60 We were staying one night to celebrate our anniversary and going to the grotto the day we checked out. We added on the tapas last minute and asked whether we could have a later checkout. The gentleman at front desk was rude and could have just said sorry we cannot accommodate you. But instead he went on this rant about how they have other guests checking in, he cannot hold it for us for 6-8 hours unless we pay $40 per hour and it doesn’t matter that we have grotto. He could have been much nicer. He was not friendly or maybe having a bad day. We did drop a lot of money on our room, grotto, tapas and ate at the restaurant for dinner on arrival so maybe he needs to treat guests a little nicer. The pool and hot tub are very outdated and tiles were missing. Our room was gorgeous and view was stunning and we enjoyed the grotto and tapas. "

"We had a wonderful stay at Sea Edge Beachside Hotel in Parksville. The location is absolutely perfect — right on the beach with beautiful ocean views and easy access to the shoreline. It’s the kind of place where you can wake up, grab a coffee, and walk straight out to the sand. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the atmosphere around the property is very relaxed and welcoming. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Parksville is such a great area to visit, and staying right on the water made the experience even better. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet beachfront getaway on Vancouver Island."

"We were very comfortable here. Small hotel with upgraded rooms and hallways. There is no restaurant but a small guest lounge offers 24 hour coffee. We were off season and found the room very quiet and peaceful. "

"Hot tub not open till 9:00 am and closed at 9:00 pm - looking forward to using it on a starlit night but was closed. "

"Bar was well stocked and the menu offered a little bit of everything for everyone! Staff were amazing and kind hearted. Rooms are impeccable but the hotel is also the newest one in town. I didn’t use their in house laundry services but the prices seemed reasonable. Pool is surprisingly big, however the shallow end is 3 feet but the deep end is only 5 feet."

"Great views of the ocean and lots of things to do in the area. Funky restaurants and interesting stores are just around the corner, all within walking distance. The area has atmosphere and the hotel is excellent. Highly recommended."

"It served the purpose "
