Reviewed Oct 6, 2025They had a room when we needed one and the town was gridlocked by the only road to Nanaimo being closed. It was all that was needed ion not what we would book for several nights if planned ahead. We are grateful they were there for us wen needed, and just after having some technical issues with their water supply earlier the same day.

Reviewed Sep 20, 2025The rooms are older and ours smelled musty- likely from the carpet. The mattress was saggy but not too uncomfortable. The room was reasonably clean; it’s not easy to make an old room look really clean. We were on the ground floor so had sliding glass doors to outside which was nice. However, the area outside was very unkempt- old rickety table and old chairs as well as generally not kept up. The motel is on the highway but was quieter than we expected.

Hotel parking lot is huge where has no problem even oversized RV. Everything in the room was so clean especially bedsheets, blanket, towel and mattress.

Reviewed Apr 16, 2025Although in the centre of the south of Vancouver island, Port Alberni really is a port. Vancouver Island is big, beautiful and quite remote, especially given that it's so close to the city of Vancouver. The property is a fairly typical motel, clean and comfortable and designed for a car user. Which is just as well as while I did see some bus stops in town, i can't imagine how you would get there by public transport.
