The Spotlight on Skylite Motel

Cozy, budget-friendly motel just minutes from Parksville's music scene

Skylite Motel offers a simple, no-fuss stay in Parksville for travelers looking to catch live music, relax by the beach, or explore Vancouver Island. Located just off the East Island Highway, it’s a laid-back spot with essential comforts like free WiFi, coffee-making facilities in every room, and even kitchenettes in select units. Bonus: it’s pet-friendly in some rooms, so you don’t have to leave your four-legged fan at home.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you’re planning to catch a show in Parksville or nearby Qualicum Beach, Skylite Motel is a smart pick. It’s only a short drive from local venues and offers a quiet retreat afterwards. The easy highway access makes it ideal for road-tripping music lovers or those arriving from the ferry terminal just 35 minutes away. With a 2:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, you’ll have time to settle in and recover the next day.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a gig and needing a simple, cost-effective base
  • Solo travelers on a music pilgrimage
  • Couples pairing a concert with a weekend beach escape
  • Fans who want a chill, quiet spot after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music fans who’d rather spend on merch than accommodations

Food and Drink Options

While Skylite Motel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, you’re just minutes from downtown Parksville’s local diners, pubs, and takeout spots. With kitchenettes in select rooms, late-night snacks are totally doable. And yes, you can grab a coffee in your room before heading out for brunch the next morning.

Nightlife Options

Though the motel itself is quiet, you’re close to Parksville’s pubs and lounges. A short drive brings you to spots with live music or relaxing drinks by the water. Perfect for winding down after a concert without the noise of staying right in the action.

What People Say

Guests love the value for money, praising the clean rooms and friendly staff. Many highlight the easy access to nearby attractions and venues, and appreciate the peaceful atmosphere after a busy day or night out. Pet-owners also give it points for being accommodating.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury hotel—and that’s part of its charm. Some rooms are a bit dated, and there’s no on-site restaurant, but for the price and location, most guests agree it’s a solid deal. Just don’t expect high-end amenities.

The Bottom Line

Skylite Motel is a quiet, convenient, and affordable base for concert-goers wanting a no-frills stay near Parksville's music venues.

Wonderful - 4.5 out of 5

Howard Fri, 6 June 2025

Comfort on a budget.

Liked: Although the buildings are dated, the room was spacious, well furnished, and came with a large screen wall mounted HDTV. The bathroom was spotless with perfectly functioning water taps and drains, modern toilet, and updated flooring. The rooms had professional quality paintwork throughout.
Disliked: Parking is surprisingly restrictive given the generous lot size.

Superb

Liked: Reasonable price, very clean room and exceptional and courteous customer service.
Disliked: There wasn't much I didn't like. If I was picky, I would have wanted an extra pillow or blanket in the room. In my case, the comforter while cozy was way too hot for the conditions. The exterior of the motel showed a lot of wear but the interiors were refreshed so not such a big deal. It is located on the opposite side of town in comparison with most of the accommodations but it is very close, a short 10 minute walk to most everything you would need including the community park and main beach. None of this bothered me.

Clean but outdated and small.
