Top Chemainus Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Chemainus Inn

Best Western Plus Chemainus Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The king room with balcony was like a mini home away from home. Very quiet (which we love), with great amenities, and thoughtful additions to the room to make our stay pleasant. (Great pillows, reading lamps, balcony with table and chairs, good closet space and hangers, great curtains to block out light. And everything worked (and this is not a given in many hotels). Would stay again. Thanks."
