Been here a few times over the years, and there are marked improvements over the last year. The rooms have been upgraded, bed are much more solid vs. the older rolling beds they had, and the restaurant has really cleaned up (they used to have broken boards, and the tables were ancient, but they cleaned up the walls, and all...

This is a fairly unexceptional hotel in Prince Rupert, easy access by car to the ferry terminal and a 20 minute walk in to town. The rooms are large and well equipped if a little dated, make sure you get a top floor room with a view of the harbour. The reception staff are helpful and the on site restaurant... More

Been here a few times, and its probably the best bang for buck in prince rupert. You can pay the extra cost to staying at the casino, but considering how close everything is in this city, this place was a nice middle ground. Everything seems a bit old/dated, but it was clean, beds were fresh, and people were really helpful.... More

I stayed here for two nights in late July at the end of a week-long trip up Vancouver Island, capped by the incredibly gorgeous ferry ride from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert. To cut to the chase: My room was big, clean, and everything worked. Check-in was smooth (even after midnight, since the ferry's arrival time that particular night was... More

The Moby Dick Inn is a very average hotel. The front entrance has a lot of steps which isn’t great for a hotel as most people will be arriving with a suitcase. The room itself was dated. There was no air conditioning, no kettle/tea/coffee etc. I was only in the hotel for around 9 hours in between the “Skeena” train... More

We made another trip to Prince Rupert, and since the staff at the Moby treated us like famiy on a previous visit, we looked forward to another stay there. They went out of their way to help us make plans for the weekend and even showed us where to go on the maps of the town. I found the rooms... More

I travel to Prince Rupert often and have found that the Moby Dick Inn is a great place to stay. It's close to downtown and the restaurant is good. The staff and front desk lady were extremely helpful, full of local information ensuring that our stay was pleasant. More
