This is truly a pleasent surprize finding such a well stocked and well cared for motel. It is a smaller and older motel but has been updated. We did not have a reservation and were greeted by a very friendly gentleman. As we had our little dog of about 10lbs with us it nice to find a smaller. No corparate... More

We found this hotel by chance, as due to weather problems we arrived a day early for the cottage we had booked from Internet. Had we known, we would have stayed there for the whole time we had intended to stay in Port Alberni. This is such a nice and clean place, with much care for details like flowers and... More

My wife and I have stopped overnight here three times now. It is always a pleasure. It is immediately obvious that the couple that own and operate this motel do their most to insure the best stay for their guests. If you could sum it up in one word it would be “charming”.

When returning from Tofino we noticed how clean and tidy the gardens and buildings looked and decided to see if a room was available and found the staff extremely helpful and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised when seeing the room almost clinically Clean! Would highly recommend to all.

I had booked this motel just the day before my stay, and MAN, was I happy that I chose this one! First of all, the room was very nice and spacious with a well appointed bathroom with tub. Second, it was within walking distance of the "Western" half of Port Alberni's city (the history about that "East and West" the... More

It really is an excellent motel - friendly... More
