Marland Motel

Oh my , this place is a dump , needed a place to stay for the night all other places were full , checked in for 10mins had to leave , room smelled like smoke , cigarette burns on the bed covers , stains all over the place , argued with owner got refunded told her I rather sleep in my truck than in any of the rooms If trip advisor had negative stars this place is a -5 rating

I am sorry that my phone is not working while I'm in Canada, and the office at the Marland is not open. There is a faded note with phone number to call upon arrival. The office has posted signs regarding the COVID pandemic to wear mask and to call rather than an open office. I felt a bit desperate because my phone doesnt work, so I tried knocking and I walked around the office to see if I could find anyone home. It looks unlived in and unkempt. No one was there. THere is a resident in one or two of the rooms. I innerrupted one of them and they were generous, and said they would call the office people for me and "they will be right up". As I waited for a short time, 10 or 15 minutes, I began to feel uncomfortable about the combination of a dirty office with messages that apear old, no one on site office not attended as the ******* site advertisment says, residents living there but apears to be no guests, I felt a vibe that said I would not feel comfortable sleeping and staying there. And so I left, knowing I can not get refund. I felt better as soon as I drove away. I went to tourist visitor site in Powell River and was directed to a safe, clean and quiet place for same price I paid for Marland.

Needed to be cleaned and updated. Lot of little things needed attention. I was a maintenance supervisor for a large hotel in Victoria and know what is exceptable and what is not.

You get what you park for. Reasonable space for the price but still felt a bit over priced.

Stayed two hours and had to leave. A run down motel. Cracked bathroom sink, still had someone's dental floss stick on the shelf in bathroom, yuck! shower dated with loose caulking. Did not feel safe, definitely not comfortable. Stains on furniture cushions. This is not a tourist motel. Awful! Stay away ! Scary longterm clientele.

How bad could it be for one night (we thought)….HORRIBLE! We should’ve read the other reviews on Trip Advisor and saved ourselves the headache. Upon arrival we were “greeted” by a confrontational front desk manager- she kept demanding more money for our child, which we had no issues paying for. We should’ve checked the room before checking it…dirty, smelly and contains something (mold? Cat hair?) that triggered a major allergy attack for my husband! We called ********** to see if we could re-book somewhere else but when they spoke with the manager she refused a refund. We honestly thought we could tough it out in a less than stellar motel for just one night but really regretting that decision! Read the other reviews about the crazy manager/ it’s no joke, and the place is an absolute dive. Don’t waste your money. Go elsewhere!

Rooms we very dated. Like 1979 stained flower couchs. Most bed matresses are min 20 years old, my friends room had origal bed spreads from the 70s,all furnature was stained old sagging and dirty, even the $2 rubber bath mat was atlest 15 years old stained yellow cracked with age and full of black mould..the sponge provided to clean ur dishes was horrrific, old musty and again doller store cheap crap. I paid extra for the family suite. 179.00 then she chargrd me $10 each extra person there was 4 of us and and $12 per night per dog x3 totaling close to 300 per night. This was absoluty not worth it. Not even close to that amount. Sadly we booked 2 weeks in advance and all other hotels we sold out leaving us trapped to stay here. Please.read the reviews and choose wisely. Wish i could attach photos.

Decent enough place. The lady who runs thr joint was super nice. But it needs some love. Also needs AC. Holy bajeebus. Either sweat your butt off with the windows closed, or keep em open and smell the **** the downstairs customers are smoking.

The kitchen was nice to have although not equipped very well. Upon checkin I informed them that we would not be staying all 3 nights. I understood we could not cancel the 3 night but was not expecting to be charged the pet fee for the night we were not there. The staff were friendly but often not available
