Hi Peter,
I haven't been to Tofino in a couple of years but given Best Western Hotels
record as a good hotel chain look here:    http://www.tinwis.com
and see if it fits your pocket book. However like most tourist locations
this time of year it will be higher than the fall.

Here's a web page for the area... or type in " Tofino bc Canada  " on google
search.

Make sure you have a locked down reservation before getting there as it's a
great place to be in the summer and accommodation can be short.

To see there?
Well it's "Long Beach" and it's just what the name implies, a long beach of
incredible views and walking it for what seems miles of sandy beach and
scenics.

Be sure to look for sunsets!!  Amazing some evenings as you look all the way
to Japan and across the Pacific with the sun between you and Japan. ;-). Or
the opposite, extremely beautiful "fog banks" roll in and make for those
wonderful soft colours.

When you've worked the Tofino area and Pacific Rim National Park drive
south... short distance, a few miles to Uclulet another interesting village
.
