I travelled with a friend, so we booked a room with two Queen beds. The room was large and clean and the beds were very comfortable. The room had some kitchen facilities (small fridge, microwave, coffee machine and cups) which was all that we needed. There was an air conditioner in the room, which was very much appreciated in the hot summer weather. The owners were very helpful. The location was just off the main highway, in a quiet neighbourhood, but close to shops and restaurants. There was free WiFi, but we didn't use it. There was a large screen TV with lots of channels.

The only place to hang clothes was a set of hooks hanging on the bathroom door. There was no ventilation in the bathroom - no fan and we could not get the window open.

I can recommend this modest motel. The staff gave me a friendly reception and professional hospitality. They were helpful without being overbearing. Emerose told me about local walking options to see the old part of Duncan. I appreciated that, as I like local history. I walked around the area that Emerose suggested. Thank you! The professionalism gave me the impression that the receptionist could have been the owner. I don't know, but that's how calm and in-charge the staff were. The room I got was sparkling clean. I think the staff clearly put in effort to keep the presentation top notch. I felt reassured falling asleep in this tidy motel room. There were signs that someone was renovating one of the suites, so the owners are making sure that this classic, small-town motel is not getting run-down. The review questionnaire asked me to rate the view. There is no view to speak of from the room I stayed in, as this is a classic motel where all the entrances face a parking courtyard. So, the "view" is not applicable, as this is a motel. That's kind of how it is supposed to be. Once you are outside, there is plenty to see, as this is near the beautiful Cowichan Valley. The sign-in sheet makes it clear that the motel will not tolerate rowdiness that would disturb other guests. Other than the gentle murmur of people sitting outside, enjoying late summer evening, there were no sounds. I got a good night's sleep. The location helps, as the motel is on a quiet side-street, but very close to downtown Duncan. The Duncan Motel has the feel of a family-run business, run by people who work hard to give you good value and a pleasant stay. Positive online reviews helped me choose this motel. I think that the positive reviews are justified.

I think it is hard to find fault with this motel. If you want a modest, pleasant place to stay, this is a good place to go.

Recently renovated so had a fresh look and feel. Also we had two rooms separated by a door which was nice for kids. Full kitchen and fridge/freezer allowed us to make our own food when needed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was good for us as restaurants and grocery stores were very close by. The aquatic center was also close by which was perfect for early evening swims, kids loved that.

Surrounding streets had a bit more trash strewn about than we are used to. Main road (trans canada highway #1) connecting to the street (alexander) the motel is on was congested at times making getting onto that main road a challenge (fortunately there are alternate side ride roads to get around this).

The room was clean, the staff was super kind, and although the motel isn’t located in the best part of Duncan, I felt completely safe on the nights I was there by myself as a female. Air conditioning worked well. The room was freshly painted and renovated all except the bathroom which was still in fine clean working order.

The location wasn’t killer. There’s a lot of interesting people downtown Duncan. The motel is definitely under renovation. The rooms are nice enough but the stairs getting up to the top floor were a bit worrisome.

The room was clean and the front desk staff were very friendly. We appreciated the offer of a flexible check-in, though we ended up arriving before the posted closing time. We liked that we had a mini-fridge and a Keurig coffeemaker with some free coffee pods. We also appreciated the full cable TV.

The room felt cramped and the pillows were too thick. It seemed overpriced for a motel.

The bed is amazingly comfortable. The pillows are great too and I'm fussy about pillows. I usually bring my own. The room is basic but very clean. And the staff were wonderfully friendly and supportive. The TV is huge. Wow.

Nothing. Great option to stay when in town for business and all you need is a clean and quiet room with a comfortable bed.

This property is centrally located just a block off the main highway. Perfect for an overnight stop in Duncan. The room was very well equipped, clean, comfortable and nicely modernized. Good value for the money.

The bathroom was very clean and well equipped, but could use updating.

The room is renovated, spacious, very well equipped and comfortable The staff is nice and helpful The area is not nice but convenient, close to the TransCanada highway

The area, outside downtown (although you can reach downtown by a 15-20mn walk) That's a detail but the pillows were a bit too big and firm for me

For an old style motel they have done a good job of upgrading the rooms. There are some modern touches like a good coffee system, good bed and modern sitting chairs with side tables. It was quiet and clean and I was comfortable. Would return.

Didn’t notice anything. The grounds might be on the plain side.

It’s an older motel but our room had been renovated a little. Flower pots around the outside were cute. Bed was super comfortable and air conditioning worked well. For the value. It was everything we needed. Staff were very friendly.

Comfortable bed in renovated room. Location. Friendly staff
