8/10 Good
"The location is very nice, the receptionist was helpful and polite. The balcony offers great view of ocean. Facility is not seniors friendly by design. Far too many stairs and gravel pathways. There is no assistance - or at least none offered - with luggage."

Ramada by Wyndham Campbell River

10/10 Excellent
"Great location, nicely designed/decorated rooms, nice view facing the straits, fantastic breakfast included with great selection (including self-service waffles, hot fried eggs with/without cheese, sausages, bread/bagels/cereals, different juices, coffee, yogurt/fruits) and also prompt service from the kitchen hostess, very efficient, helpful and polite staff and a nice restaurant next door called Fifty Parallel Tap and Grill (food was good at reasonable pricing). We did not use the indoor pool or other amenities due to our hectic travel schedule."
