I had to go to hospital as I was covered in bed bug bites. I stayed in room 30. The doctor said it was the worst case he has ever see. I feel violated, I had to spend over two hundred dollars on medication.

Good location. We had to arrive very late which was ok. To our surprise we were upgraded to a superior room at no extra cost -- and it included a hot tub!

Check in was friendly and efficient, the room was very clean and comfortable and the coffee, wifi and shower were all excellent. We definitely plan to return the next time we stay over in Duncan. In past years we have stayed in more expensive places which were no where near as nice.

I had an amazing stay, just what I needed after a few days of camping. The suite was comfortable and is decorated really nice. The amenities and breakfast were great. Would love to stay again if I ever get the chance!

Duncan is best experienced outside of town for trails lakes and nature in general. Try an AirBnb. There are a few within 20 minutes or so from town in beautiful settings. To Eat, go to Romeo's. I had one of the award winning pizzas, and it didn't disappoint

Sadly, this town seems quite depressed, with little that was visually appealing, and many homeless folks wandering the streets. Seems to be a good jumping point, to get fuelled up, get groceries, do laundry etc, before continuing to stay elsewhere.

The Cowichan Valley region (incl.
The Cowichan Valley region (incl. Duncan, Cowichan Bay, Cowichan Lake, Chemainus, Ladysmith.) has restored, sweet, old towns with plenty of outdoor informative signs, images, murals about local history, walking, cycling and equestrian trails to renovated trestle bridges (Kinsol Trestle is the biggest and most impressive one), the best river tubing in the pristine water of the Cowichan river, clean lakes with nice beaches for swimming, ecotourism with wineries, cideries, distilleries and breweries, all in beautiful settings. Don't miss the Hand of Man museum in Mill's Bay. Easily explored within 4 days with a car. All the municipalities are easily explored on foot. We were never disappointed with the food either and they have gluten free options everywhere on the menus.

I know Duncan well as I was born here. I came to town to attend a concert. I took advantage of the great shopping. I enjoyed dinner at Mr Mike’s prior to the show. Lots of restaurants within walking distance from the theatre and also the hotel.

This hotel is old, run down, and downright scary.
This hotel is old, run down, and downright scary. My husband refused to get out of the car! The "guests" who happened to be outside were standing in huddles that appeared more like a drug deal going in. One women was outside her room in saying only a towel. Rooms were full of stale cigarette smoke. Do not book a room here. My only saving grace was that the manager told me the room hasn't been charged yet.

We've been there many times.
We've been there many times. Small quaint town; lots of restaurants, shopping and a casino for those who like that (not me), lots of totem poles. We are there every summer to attend the Cowichan Folk Music Festival, which was the reason for this trip as well. Easy to get to by car/bus as the main highway runs right through it; could get there by boat as well. By air would most likely be via Nanaimo or Victoria and then an hour drive either way to Duncan. Outdor music performances every night in July in town.
This is a motel on the highway going through Duncan and cost less than others, so the location was the first draw. It is surrounded by restaurants, easy for meals. As I was there in the middle of a heat wave the pool was a huge bonus. Cleanliness was good, no complaints. A bit noisy due to highway but not unexpected. There was no air conditioning, but the motel was surrounded by trees and a high fence, and the staff supplied a fan, I took advantage of an evening swim too!
What a pleasant surprise to stay in this nice hotel. Although we were only there for one night, we were very happy with our room, which appeared to be recently renovated. The bed was comfortable and we were happy to have two chairs to sit at the little table. Usually, it seems there is only one chair in many hotel rooms. Even though the hotel is right on the highway, it was quiet inside.
The breakfast was great and she even made us a pot of English Breakfast tea. We liked her garden and lovely to sit out there and watch the birds and the local possum. We particularly liked that it wasn’t smack bang in the middle of tourists hotels etc. It was nice and quiet.
Everything was great! Over and above our expectations. It was within walking distance from the person we were visiting. It was also easy for us to find our way around Duncan. Loved the extra space compared to a hotel room. Will highly recommend to anyone going to the area.
Great place and my parents stayed at this hotel in the 1980'sand were so happy staying at the thunderbird I had to try it myself and totally agree. Very nice and couldn't be happier and trying to book another night for Monday night.
For a place that you just to sleep, rest, shower in; it was great. Very clean, even better than hotels. No breakfast but that was expected. Hotel breakfasts are cheap and you might as well take a walk to grab a bite.
The unit was comfortable.. it had a fully equipped kitchen. The neighborhood was quiet and was easy access to transit. Could easily walk to most things in Duncan. It is an older building but clean
Very big, nice renovated townhouse. Two bedrooms, 2 and half bathrooms makes the stay very comfortable. It also has washer and dryer. Check in/out instructions was clear.
