Very much a trip back to the 70s, kind staff, and large suits but it definitely needs better cleaning services or a more regular deep cleaning. We didn't get lice or bedbugs lol so at that price a win is a win. All in all, If you're not too snotty or prissy and can't afford the $300+ per night else where this does just fine... Maybe bring your own pillow cases just to make yourself feel a bit better. :p

The man who checked us in was very friendly helped us with checking in and was very kind. Assisted us. The suite was good. We had a kitchenette, bathroom, living room with all the pots/pans, dishes. We bought paper towels, regular size soap and shampoo as we were there for 10 days. We swapped out the towels for more new clean ones after a few days. We had everything we needed. If your looking for a squeeky clean, new updated place this is not your stay. The beds and linens were clean but the motel room is older. If your looking for a quick and easy room for cheap this is the spot ..we traveled to nanaimo, ladysmith, tofino easily and its in a great spot near restaurants gas stations, tims, save on foods. It did the job for 10 days. The motel is attached to a trailer park which is fine, but be aware of your surroundings at night as there is some colorful charachters at night in the area. I would stay here again.

I liked the free Wi-Fi, the bed was comfortable, the air conditioner worked well and the location was good but the kitchen and bathroom were dirty. Soap scum in the shower, the shower curtain smelled, the microwave and kitchen floor were dirty and the fridge had a weird smell. I'm okay with old as long as it's clean but we won't be back.

My experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing. The property appears outdated, with conditions reminiscent of a facility from the 1930s, and there was a complete absence of staff on-site to provide assistance or ensure guest safety. The overall atmosphere felt unsafe, uncomfortable, and unsettling, which made it difficult to relax or enjoy the stay. The lack of security measures, poor upkeep, and unwelcoming environment made this the most negative experience of my entire trip. Based on my stay, I cannot in good conscience recommend this hotel to anyone.

So dirty and smelly. The place just reeked of bleach. Hair all over tub and shower. Beds were not made and comforters were just sort of spread out on the bed. Should have spent the extra money and stayed somewhere else.

This property is squarely in the worst part of Port Alberni. Surrounded by a dilapidated trailer park. Locals mentioned to us that it is often rented by the hour. Staff booked us into a room that was already occupied by another guest. Checked us in at 12:00, but cut could not get us in early (we traveled to PA for an afternoon birthday celebbration) and when we returned later in the evening, we discovered the double booking issue. Had to bang on doors for over a half hour only to be told to go awa. Had to refresh the person’s memory that it was he who had checked us in earlier. After an hour we finally got a room…and let me tell you it was not worth the wait. Stay away from this property at all costs. Scraping underneath the bottom of the barrel.

The host was not very polite and seemed in a big hurry to check out for the day. The bedroom was hot as A/C didnt reach the room. The bed was comfortable enough, but the suite looked straight out of the 70's. We were provided with enough clean towels and kitchen equipment and he was quick to replace the broken toaster. I'd never been to Port Alberni, but the neighborhood was older, but safe enough. The cost did not reflect the quality and I'd probably not return, unless I needed a quick rest stop.

I was grateful to have a roof over my head on short notice over a high demand period that accepted pets. I am sure this place was once a very nice destination (probably 50-60 years ago). However, it was not well-maintained and the room was shabby. Credit for clean linens on the bed. Towels well past their usefulness - time to turn them into car rags. No recommendation from me.

Would never stay here again. There was an awful urine and musty smell. Stains on the beds, flooring & bathroom. It looks like it gets a ten second tidy, aside from the towels, that were clean but smelt strongly of bleach. Location felt very unsafe. Thankfully the AC worked well for how hot it was. The “couch” is a futon bed and you can feel every spring. There is class everywhere, everything is unplugged because they want to avoid extra costs for running the utilities. Dishes were not cleaned properly, the fridge had a smell. Needless to say, I will never stay here again.

The location is good. The property had a musty smell as we entered the room. The carpet had a damp feel. The beds were in good shape. Towels were clean. If the property has a clean paint and carpet replaced, it will be a good stay.

Not so good I paid for 3 nights and the motel started packing my bag after 2 nights while I was out. Before realizing I was good for 1 more night. They packed my dirty laundry in with my clean clothes, the thew my toiletries in the garbage and slippers were put in my food cooler. Before they realized the mistake they made as the room receipt was on the table. Very poor service, although they did apologize.
