Yes, this place is a two-star. Yes, it's older. Yes, the décor is a little dated. And yes, I would stay here again. For my weekend visit with family this place was great. The accolades: clean suite, comfortable bed, and quiet location, despite the fact it's on a semi-busy street. (Busy for Port Alberni, that is.) All the little amenities... More

We stayed here again this year while visiting family and stayed in one of the suites. It was clean, had pretty much everything you needed to have a comfortable stay. The only problem we had was a lack of hot water in the morning for showers, it didn't get cold, just stayed lukewarm, so not terrible, but not quite what... More

My insurance company put me up in this motel 2 nights a week for 4 weeks. The owners were very accommodating to my varying arrival times. The rooms were very clean, very quiet and I slept like a log every night. Like other motels in Port, there were no teams running around or parties happening. The location couldn't have been... More

Hans & Janice make sure your visit to their motel is an experience to remember. Hans took Norman and me fishing. As well as catching salmon for the Barbie... More

Exceeded our expectations. The riot of flowers around the motel are wonderful! The "cottage" is really a 2 bedroom house and it was very spacious, clean and very comfortable. A real gem, will definitely stay here again.

We stayed in this motel only for one night, but found it to be very well equipped. Shampoo, hairdryer, minifridge, hotplate, comfortable bed, good cable, wifi, onsite laundry etc. The only issue (if you can really call it an issue) is just that the site needs a bit of updating (aesthetics only). The room was clean and had everything we... More

Our son was playing in the Provincial Squirt Boys championships in Port Alberni for the weekend. My son has allergy induced asthma and needs to stay in a place that has never had pets in it. We arrived to find this beautifully renovated room with two beds and a kitchenette. Very clean and fresh. Everyone we ran into, staff, owners,... More

The cottage was very nice, well furnished, and comfortable. It had a full kitchen with an assortment of cooking utensils, pots and pans. The beds were very comfortable, the sheets were of good quality. Noise from the street was minimal. My only complaint is the lack of detailed cleaning. The bedroom doors had obvious smudge marks from peoples hands and... More

Exceeded our expectations, checked in by cheerful efficient staff member. The motel exterior was a riot of colourful hanging baskets and roses, the room' s decor and fittings were of superior quality as was the linen. The proprietor was most helpful with his advice on where to go (and how to cultivate hanging baskets)! Port Alberni is a pleasant and... More

we stayed here in 2003 for the first time., and loved it so being in Port Alberni it was no question where to stay. The motel is located near the Somass river, with restaurants in the neighbourhood. Since our stay in 2003 are the rooms redecorated. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite with kitchenette, Outside the many roses against... More
