The Francis Boutique Inn

I don't know what a "Boutique Inn" is, but for me The Francis was just a room -no more. We did not meet anybody - all communication was online. The room in first floor was huge and nice and with a harbour view ( partly). There is no walk in shower - it's in a bathtub and the whole bathroom is connected to the room - open area. Toilet is of course in a room, but the shower just behind a curtain. Coffee/tea maker , fridge etc. Lovely huge bed. Everything fine. No breakfast - you had to go downtown - five minutes of BYO in Coop which we did on the second day. Ucluelet is very nice and cosy - If I come back I will stay at other place where I meet people at breakfast as in a b&b, small hotel etc.

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!

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.
