The Maq Hotel - A centrally located boutique hotel with a lively pub, on-site restaurant, rooftop patio, and free parking in Tofino
The Maq Hotel sits in a lively part of Tofino, offering a prime location steps from the harbour and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. This three-star property provides free Wi-Fi, free parking behind the building, and pet-friendly rooms upon request. Rooms feature cable TV, a seating area with a sofa in some units, and modern bathrooms; however, no mini-fridge is provided-guests receive a cooler and free ice from the on-site liquor store. The hotel's restaurant, Bear Bierhouse, serves dinner with locally sourced ingredients, and the adjacent café opens at 7:30 a.m. for coffee and breakfast rolls. The pub downstairs hosts live music several nights a week, and the rooftop patio offers panoramic sunset views over the harbour. Evening entertainment includes karaoke, live sports events, and occasional DJ nights, with a white-noise machine available in rooms to mitigate noise. The property is a 28-minute drive from Pacific Rim National Park Reserve - Long Beach Unit and close to the Tonquin Trail for beach access. Staff provide local recommendations, and luggage storage and daily housekeeping are standard. Complimentary welcome cocktails are offered at check-in, and a 10% discount applies at the on-site restaurant and select local businesses.
