Ucluelet Wildwood Inn

Ucluelet Wildwood Inn

8/10 Good
"The rooms are large and clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking was easy as this is a motel style property. A little noisy if you’re on the bottom level as you can hear people walking around. Great location and within walking distance to the local Co-Op grocery store and restaurants. It’s good value for the area."

Wild Pacific Waterfront Cabins

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in Cabin D for three nights and had a positive experience. The cabin D was as described, clean and comfortable, and in a convenient location just off the main road and close to Ucluelet town centre. It is a small unit, but it was adequate for two people. A few small improvements would make the stay even better. An iron and small ironing board would be useful, and the frying pan could use replacing as it was quite scratched from frequent use. The TV is also quite small and mounted high in the corner of the room, which makes it a little difficult to watch comfortably. Overall, it was a good stay and we would recommend it for a short visit to Ucluelet."
