This was probably the best hotel I've ever stayed at for the price/star-rating. It was eclectic. The staff was FANTASTIC. The rooms were fun (who can say that about a hotel). Each room had a different display and it was like stepping back in time
Conveniently located close to two large malls (including a Walmart), bus station close by with many scheduled stops directly to downtown and several restaurants nearby. The hotel restaurant is also very good.
Fun hotel with a funky 70s vibe. We loved "Granny's basement". It's nice that they had a pool table and a fun place to hang out. In the lobby I listened to some old vinyl on a turntable, and they had a lot of games, so we hung out and played games.

Top Tips
- Expect 45-60 minutes by car from Victoria International Airport (YYJ) to Duncan, 40-50 minutes from Swartz Bay ferry terminal, or 40-60 minutes from Nanaimo ferry terminals (Departure Bay or Duke Point), depending on traffic. Check drive times and taxi or shuttle costs before booking, as local taxi fares range from CA$90-175 for airport or ferry transfers. Pre-book transport for arrivals after 22:00, since late-night options are limited.
- If you want loyalty points or consistent amenities, choose a chain hotel in Nanaimo (30-45 minutes by car) or Victoria (45-60 minutes). Duncan lodging is mostly small motels and B&Bs, often without major programs. Chain hotels typically offer 24-hour front desks, accessible rooms, gyms, and on-site dining; compare options if these services are required.
- Confirm on-site parking size and any RV or oversize vehicle policy directly at booking. Many Duncan motels and B&Bs provide free parking, but lot sizes vary and vehicles longer than 6 m (20 ft) may not be accommodated. Clarify parking availability and restrictions to avoid searching for overflow or off-site parking.
- Many smaller Duncan properties (fewer than 20 rooms) have limited accessibility, such as no elevators and possible steps between floors or at entrances. If you need step-free access, an accessible room, or visual alarms, confirm these features in writing and request a ground-floor room when you book. For more consistent accessibility, consider national chain hotels in Victoria or Nanaimo.
- Cowichan District Hospital is the main acute-care facility for Duncan and is open 24/7 at 3045 Gibbins Rd, about 2 km (1.2 mi) from most hotels. For urgent needs, note this address and carry travel insurance; non-urgent care is usually available weekdays during daytime hours.
- Occupancy in Duncan is high during July-August and on statutory long weekends, with small properties often fully booked 3-6 weeks in advance. Reserve at least a month early for key dates, group stays, or events. Be aware that flexible cancellation policies may not apply during local festivals or peak weekends.
- Small-scale Duncan lodgings often have basic Wi-Fi service, with speeds under 10 Mbps common. If you need dependable workspace or video calls, check speed details ahead and consider using Duncan’s public library (2687 James St) or a coworking venue during business hours. Some hotel lobbies or nearby cafes may offer stronger connections for guests.
- Pet-friendly options are typical in Duncan, with nightly fees generally CA$15-20 and size or number limits varying. Get all pet policies and charges confirmed in writing before booking. For service animals, ask about documentation requirements if needed by the property.
