"We had a great stay in Tofino in the Crows nest. Clean, bright, open concept was great, the best was the hop and skip to the beach. Directly accross from the public access we spent every morning and night on Chesterman Beach enjoying the sunrises and sunsets.The only thing I would mention is the bed is closer to a double then an actual Queen. We will be back soon."
