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.

I like the cleanliness of the rooms but it was really cold and took a long time to warm up. In floor heating would have improved my stay.

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.

This was our second time staying at Riverside. This time we were a group of three and we opted for a cottage. It was super spacious and comfortable, with everything we could possibly need. It’s also a very short walk from Twin City Brewing and a (slow but free) EV charger

What a terrific little motel! Travelled to Port Alberni for a weekend trip with my sister and daughter and to do the Lady Rose Ferry ride to Bamfield. We stayed 2 nights and the rooms were so comfy. Great location for some good restaurants. Highly recommend! Would definitely go back!
