I stayed here with family recently and had a fantastic time. The rooms are clearn, large and very comfortable. The lounge had a great atmosphere. It's well situated as a jump off point for the Pacific Rim National Park and other surrounding attractions. The best part of all however, was the quality of the staff. They were incredibly friendly and... More

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a great experience. The staff and owner were absolutely outstanding and the room was newly renovated.......very clean, cozy, and nicely decorated. Great location as well, right near town and the highway. I was also lucky enough to get a sneak peek of what the new pub will look like, which will be... More

I recently stayed at this hotel and I can honestly say the hospitality given to us by the staff was exceptional. I have stayed throughout hotels in the US and Canada and can say the staff here went above and beyond my expectations. The location of the hotel was great. It was centrally located on the island allowing enjoyable day... More

Like other people who came to the region, I stayed here for 2 nights because it was considerably cheaper than staying on the coast while exploring Pacific Rim NP. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean, and it's not a bad drive to the coast. If you want more than that from a hotel, I'd look elsewhere.... More

We stayed a total of two nights in August 2011 at the Howard Johnson hotel in Port Alberni, BC. The staff were exceptional. Very friendly, accommodating and helpful for info for surrounding area. The breakfast was nice but not extensive including cold cereal, fresh fruit, toast, juice, coffee and tea. We were welcomed to relax and enjoy breakfast with our... More

We were greeted by a very pleasant and helpful front desk person and throughout our stay (of one night) we encountered friendly staff. We wish the hotel would do more to upgrade the rooms. At first glance the room seemed dark and shabby, the coverlet looked 10 years old, the TV was ancient and there was a window airconditioner which... More

The room was clean and quiet. Beds not the best for comfort but all in all not bad

I just want to thank Dean and Julie owners of the Howard Johnson. They went beyond the call of duty. The staff was pleasant. They gave us a good deal on rooms. My niece got married and had friends from out of town stay at the hotel. One of the guests checked out early and was charged by mistake on... More
