What guests think

Skylite Motel is an older roadside property praised for very clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and notably friendly, accommodating staff, with many guests finding the renovated interiors quiet and restful despite the busy highway location near shops and restaurants.

Many rooms include practical kitchenettes suited to families and longer stays. Some guests experienced spotty Wi-Fi and occasional noise disturbances, and a number felt prices were high for basic accommodations. A practical stopover rather than a full-amenity resort.

I like that the quality of the bed was good. It did not seem to be hoping for the high end clients but comfort was great. AC was even quieter than most which was a pleasant surprise. Only real negative would be the shower as it was VERY low and did not have a handle to allow for use without almost kneeling down. Even had a full kitchen for those that want it. Close to food of all kinds; close to park. I'd definitely stay again.

We were given a choice of which room we wanted. We went with an older cabin with a kitchenette, our friends went with a newly renovated room. Both had their own charm. For the price this was an excellent place to stay. Close to everything we wanted to do. Very quiet even though it was right on the highway. clean, comfortable accommodations

I really like the kitchenette concept that is not extra-charge at this motel. A small fridge, stove-top and micro-wave, as well as 'just' enough dishes are there for you. It is a nice room over-all. The big negative is the odour of the room. Upon entering our room, the stale, stinky smell was over-whelming. They were fully booked, and she said that we had the room for three people, so we didn't complain- who wants to complain on holiday? Trying to make the best, we turned on the fan (in the window, the A/C unit), the bathroom fan as well we opened the window. The worst of it cleared and we slept with both fans operating to try to give ourselves clean air while we slept. Upon leaving for the day, we left the A/C unit on , as well as the bathroom fan, trying to avoid the stench upon return. Well, they switched them off! So now we had to smell the stink all over again when we returned. This action seemed chintzy, especially given the price that we were paying- I mean, the room clearly has an issue, let the air circulate!!! Leave the fan on and your guests will enjoy the room so much more.

I’ve been travelling to Parksville for years to visit my parents. This was my first time staying at Skylite Motel and it will likely be my goto from now on. Great location, walking distance to my parents apartment, close to lots of amenities. The only thing I would recommend the motel consider is the addition of a coat rack or some hooks because there was nowhere to hang jackets and clothes.

Booked this property due to price knowing it was an older property; however, it is in need of paint, a good cleaning of walls and cupboards. Fridges need defrosting- freezes things. Did have a small kitchenette. Leary to use stove as burn marks on wall. You could see light around the door. No restaurant at Motel, had to go out which we expected. The bed was comfortable and clean, washroom had been upgraded (walls were dirty), good water pressure. Air conditioning worked well. Towels were changed daily and garbage emptied.
