Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, select rooms feature kitchenettes for easy late-night snacking, and the motel’s central location means you’re close to local diners and casual eats. A coffee maker in each room helps you recover after a late night. The outdoor BBQ area is also a great spot for pre-show hangouts.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a bar on-site, but you’re just a short drive or stroll from Parksville’s local pubs and lounges. Whether you're up for a chill pint or want to explore nearby live music spots, the area offers a few hidden gems for night owls.
