This hotel is nice, the staff have great customer service, the pool is nice and clean. The gym could be nicer with more up to date equipment and open for longer hours (5:00-11:00 perhaps). This hotel is not walkable to the shopping area Quay. It would be nice if there was an option to include breakfast in the cost of the room. I recommend this hotel if you are ever in Port Alberni. Or driving to Tofino and want to stop in for a break to a city that is a bit more cost effective.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel was overpriced for just run of the mill hotel. I paid $414.00 for 2 queens, not even a complimentary bottle of water for that price. The pool was outdoors, advertised as heated and it was cold water. No breakfast included but got a 20% off coupon on over priced breakfast. Upon check in wasn't directed to the hot tub or gym or the pool or what floors ice etc were on. The pillows were lumpy. All in all the stay would have been satisfactory but when yiu pay over $400 for a hotel a person does expect more. Port Alberni is a small community with not much going on. Price goughing at it's best. I was told that the prices were so high because it was high vacation season and Tofino is close to Port Alberni, not for the quality of the hotel, service or amenities, just close to Tofino.

Considering the cost of one night's sleep this was totally underwhelming! In order to connect the computer one has to crawl under the desk unplug the coffee machine to plug in the computer. The lighting in the bathroom was inadequate etc. Not worth $408/night!!!

Room was extremely overpriced. First I was charged wrong at check in. I caught it and didn’t end up paying the extra 300$ she tacked on. The guy in front of me got two of same room I was in for 100$ less a night! Front desk thought nothing of it. The room was old and small. Cabinets all out of alignment. The middle drawer wouldn’t stay shut and it was in the walkway. Went for a shower and no soap in the dispenser. All in all a complete ripoff. Do yourself a favour and find a nice air bnb. Note: if the cost reflected the shape of my room I’d probably over looked everything but it wasn’t
