Only thing I would say to anyone that stays there more then 1 night make sure to call them to get cleaning service done. They don't just do it they need to be asked. But the place was a nice place to stay and we will be back there.

A gem in the heart of Port Alberni, tucked away a hop skip and jump from the lake. Room was quaint, charming and most importantly CLEAN. Very happy that we chose a locally owned business.
