The YukonHome/Where to stay/Ucluelet/3-star hotels
3-star hotels in Ucluelet
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Ucluelet, from waterfront inns to cottages and out-of-town lodges, with guest ratings from 4.1 to 5.0 out of 5. It is for travellers who want a base for the Wild Pacific Trail, the harbour and Pacific Rim National Park Reserve without paying for more than they need.
Staying in Ucluelet
Ucluelet sits on a rugged stretch of Pacific coast, known for the Wild Pacific Trail and as a gateway to Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, with fishing, kayaking and wildlife viewing on the water. The town centre is compact and walkable, with shops, restaurants and services near the harbour, while Marine Drive follows the inlet past waterfront properties with views of the water and passing boats.
These hotels are spread across that layout. Several sit close to the centre: Reef Point Cottages on Peninsula Road, The Francis Boutique Inn and Black Rock Ridge on Marine Drive, The Salt Shed on Marine Drive, and Seaside and Whiskey Landing on Cedar Road, all within 1.7 km of the centre. The Bayshore Waterfront Inn on Hemlock Street and Waters Edge Shoreside Suites on Harbour Crescent face the water. Others lie further out, such as A Balsam House and A Tamarack House at over 5 km, Wya Point Resort on the Tofino Ucluelet Highway at 5.7 km, and Eagle Nook Resort in Barkley Sound at 29.6 km. Couples, families and short-break visitors are all served, with family rooms, kitchens, fireplaces and, at some, saunas and spas.
