The Francis Boutique Inn

Wow what a wonderful experience. After a long surfing day in the cold and rain, and then to come back to our warm, cozy, inviting cottage was SO nice. The cottage has a clean and stylish design. You can tell it was put together with care and with the guest's comfort in mind. The amenities all work great. Nice sound proof and warm room, super hot showers (just what we wanted after coming in from the ocean), entertainment, and super comfort beds. Also the cottage was SO clean! The owners were also super responsive and helpful. Got us whatver we needed in a timely fashion. They and the caretakers were very friendly and wanted to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to come back.

The accommodation was very clean, was modern and well-appointed. The bed was very comfortable and everything was provided for. The bathroom had a rain shower and regular shower with extra towels, hair drier, etc. The kitchenette had plates, cutlery, microwave, glasses, mugs, salt and pepper, lots of coffee in compostable pods, teas, etc. and mini refrigerator. There was a hot tub just outside the door. Very safe and parking just outside. Very kind owners who went out of their way to help accommodate me when I got ill. Will be staying there again!

We really had no idea what to expect...came around the back of the hotel to check in and WOW...a little oasis. Beautiful shady space with chairs to lounge in and take in the scenery or a hot tub and sauna. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return

We stayed at the Francis for one night. I wish we could have stayed more. The room perfectly equipped, very clean and with all the comforts. 100 percent recommended. The person who attended us, charming, very attentive and worried about us when the route we had to follow the main road was cut off and we had to turn around a lot. She informed us of everything. Very grateful for everything.

This is a nice inn. However, there is nothing "boutique" about it. What was listed as a luxe suite was in fact a large room. It was pleasant and spotlessly clean, and we did have a view of the harbor as listed. It had a tiny well equipped kitchen. The bathroom was awkward - a sink with no space whatsoever for toiletries, and a tub with a shower curtain but no door (the toilet itself was in separate closet-like enclosure). The Inn is very conveniently located in the center of town, walking distance to everything. So - overall a pleasant stay, but don't expect a luxury boutique property.

Everything about this place was great, from its location in the centre of town to the high quality, well-appointed rooms and the friendly lady who couldn't do more to assist us. We stayed for 3 nights and it was a perfect place for us to use as a base to explore the local area. The room (suite 2) was big, bright, had a very comfortable bed and a great view of the water and forest / mountain behind - for those that care, the wi-fi was also good! There is also a small kitchen area with a sink and fridge (and a microwave if I recall) and a table with a couple of chairs, so certainly a lot of space that made it feel less like a hotel room and more like a small suite. The bath / shower are not separated from the main room, which might be an issue for some visitors, but it was fine for us. From a location perspective, it was great - easy to find, plenty of parking and walking distance to the local supermarket, a couple of coffee shops and most of the restaurants. The one minor point is that it was a little pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for and it was certainly a great stay worth paying a bit more for.

Great place. The room was comfortable and very clean. The location was within walking distance to grocery , restaurants and the trails. check-in and check- out super easy. The Inn’s outside area and parking lot are extremely well maintained and safe. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Francis Inn for being perfect,

Beautiful hotel with a nice view. Sauna and hot tub available outside. Only we missed some clothing hooks in the bathroom, and a relax chair. The smoke detector was not working, but the fire department was nearby

We actually couldn’t stay at The Francis much to our disappointment due to the wildfire which cut off the highway to Ucluelet. The owner of The Francis suggested that we take an alternate route but it was specified by the authorities that this rough route was for essential traffic only. The reason for our poor review is that the owners refused to refund our money or any portion of it even though it was physically impossible to get through. I would be very cautious in dealing with this hotel. We were offered a different time for our stay but we had travelled from Ontario so we couldn’t take advantage of their offer.
