Best Western Cowichan Valley Inn
This was a nice hotel with friendly staff and adequate breakfast. It would be nice if the slots for USB cables were updated to accommodate the newer universal USB-C cables or just an additional regular electrical plug.

Thunderbird Motor Inn
It's a simple motel with no airs or graces. But as clean as a whistle, with lovely mattresses and bedding. Excellent bathroom water pressure and hot hot showers too. PLUS, it's the best value you'll find in the whole of B.C. !!
