Riverside Inn - Lake Cowichan

This place is a hidden gem great customer service and the food was excellent. Can't wait to return

Went in for Sunday breakfast. The food was good but it took longer to cook than it did to eat. We were waiting 22 minutes from the time our order was placed until it arrived at the table

Rooms are OK, I was there for 2 nights on a work trip. The first night was fine, but the second night there was a party or something going on in the pub below. The music was unacceptably loud. Even with ear plugs in I was able to hear it and it kept me up until 11pm. It was a Wednesday night. For almost $250 a night I'd at least expect it to be quiet.Checking in was alright, but checking out at 8:00am was not possible as there was no one at the front desk and no one at the pub as per the sign at the front desk.

Great location, and the rooms were very clean and new looking. the bed was very comfortable. the restaurant had excellent eating and service. we were there for an event and the manager of the restaurant was simply beautiful so that the staff was organized and everything went smoothly. I cannot recommend this place enough!

The place is huge, but unfortunately, the food quality is lacking. The bartender seemed inexperienced, and the atmosphere was unwelcoming, with some unfriendly locals around. I understand that a local pub might lower their standards for appetizers (I’ve attached a picture of the nachos I ordered), but this was just unacceptable in terms of basic food quality. The bartender struggled to pour a decent beer, having to fill the glass five times before finally getting it right. Sadly, there aren’t many dining options in the area, but I urge you to seek alternatives. Consider yourself warned!
