The staff at this motel are incredibly friendly, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. While the decor might be a bit dated, the comfort it provides is undeniable, making it a great value for the price. I'm already looking forward to returning on future journeys, especially considering its convenient proximity to all necessities. Highly recommended!

The location was very nice, out in the country. We listened to crickets all night instead of cars and sirens and it was dark, no streetlights! The suite was well appointed with comfortable seating and a TV. Hostess had already prepared our coffee for morning, all we had to do was turn it on. There was a nice assortment of goodies in the fridge for breakfast/snacking.

Fantastic buffet breakfast, super friendly hosts. Among other things, they recommended a nearby place to see salmon spawning with black bears attempting to catch them. Our favorite stay of our Vancouver Island trip. We weren't bothered by road noise, unlike some other reviews. We only wish we'd stayed more than one night

We stayed in Port Alberni as a stopover on our short vacation to the coast; accordingly, it is difficult to assess/review the town. I met one lovely couple while banking and was greatly impressed by their friendliness and willingness to help a total stranger.

Port Alberni is relatively easy to get around.
Port Alberni is relatively easy to get around. Lovely hiking spots and parks. Great sports areas. On the beautiful ocean inlet, with fabulous views. A variety of shops and restaurants. The gateway to the wild west coast. First Nations cultural experiences available.
I would not forget my cell phone charger so that getting around might be even easier with GPS.
My favourite was going on a dog walk with my hosts along a lovely wild path by a stream with waterfall and a beautiful kingfisher.

Staff smoke in the lobby
Staff smoke in the lobby
They bring their children to work and children are constantly pulling the fire alarms
Rude service some staff were nice though
Maid did not ever clean the rooms
No more breakfast
Broken vending machines
Not safe for children
Fire hazard as there’s no cover on fire place
And the laundry shoot door is always open a child could fall through that
Over priced for what they provide
Not impressed and the location is filled with drug addicts and homeless people
Maids steal your medication too
Poor service all on all

We enjoyed the activities at the Harbour Quay.
We enjoyed the activities at the Harbour Quay. Farmer's market, evening music and evening strolls along the water while enjoying small shop products. Great restaurants and cafes to choose from. Our favourites: Boomerang Cafe and Bare Bones (platter for two) . Bamfield trip by boat. Sproat lake swimming. Stamp River Provincial park where we saw the salmon going up the waterfalls and bears coming around. ( we learned from a native family at the river to clap loudly, everyone clapping with whatever you had at hand, to get the big black bear approaching to run away). We found people were very friendly and would always greet you. Many cafes and places we did not have time to go to are in our calendar for next time around. Beware restaurants close early in Port Alberni so check closing times before heading out to eat. Overall, great memories of Port Alberni.

Starboard Grill was excellent meal on the docks one night and Twin City Pub had excellent pizza and a variety of local beers.
Used Port Alberni as a jumping off location to visit Tofino/Uceulet and Bamfield - served us well!

We did a few local hikes like the Hole in the Wall and Cathedral Grove. Our hosts recommended another one we did in the morning called Little Qualicum Park where they had views of the upper and lower falls. We visited a brewery and took in the beautiful scenery. Impressed with the stores they had, didn’t know Port Alberni was so big! Would definitely recommend travellers check out this nice place on the island!
This is a great apartment for a group or family. Lots of space and beds for everyone. We were 3 adults, 1 child and 1 dog and everyone had their own space. There is room and beds for more of course. Beds and living room furniture were very comfortable. The location is perfect for walking to shops for groceries and not far from hiking and swimming opportunities in the area. The kitchen and bathroom were fully equipped and clean. We would absolutely stay here again when in Port Alberni. Thank you Char!
If you like ships and the sea, this is a must to go place. Very special. The hosts are very kind and make you feel very welcomed. Very good and freshly cooked breakfast. Even though it´s not a bargain, compared to the prices in Tofino it´s still very good value for money and you can easy go for and back to the coast on the same day. Don´t expect the sapce of a 5star hotel, it´s a ship ;-).....
The reception was great, awesome that dinner ánd breakfast are included. And Bill is a great cook, even as vegetarians we were in for a treat! They also gave us great recommandations for hikes nearby. We thought only to stop for the night in port Alberni but we ended up staying an extra day because of this great B&B. We would definitely come back here. Thanks!
The staff at the Stamps Cafe were fantastic - efficient and pleasant! Always got the orders right, even though one day only one server was looking after the whole restaurant, plus answering the phone and doing the cash register. Kudos to her - don’t know her name, but she was the grey haired lady.
All the breakfasts were cooked perfectly too and were yummy.
The worst place to stay. When we came to the hotel, we made a mistake on booking and in stead of trying to help to solve the problem, the owner was so angry and super mad. The solution was from her side to charge 7 months baby and 3.5 years old boy 100$ extra per night for the same room which we booked. There were no changes just extra charges.

The suite was fantastic and suited our family of 5 perfectly. The staff at the front desk was super friendly. Every morning there was a knock on the door asking us if we needed anything; no other hotel during our stay in BC went out of their way to that extend to look after their customers! Super impressed!
Bathroom was clean, and accoutrements clean/fresh. Fridge and freeze unit worked well. Owner obliging. Adjacent (co owned) restaurant was very busy, and food order was fine. Bed mattress and linen were clean. (but Bed blanket and bed coverlet smelled (smoke and body odour)--both needed washing.
A wonderful stay in a spacious and comfortable home with two of the best hosts that any traveller could hope for. If you're staying in Port Alberni and this place is available you shouldn't hesitate to book. Breakfast is delicious and the room itself is extremely well-kept/comfortable.
Loved the antique furniture and wallpaper! Bathrooms and windows were new. Heater was silent and worked well. (Although it was available, we didn’t need air conditioning.) Clean and comfortable basic room. Staff was super helpful. Thank you, Ocean Marina Hotel!
Please take this off booking.com; it is no longer an operational hotel. We showed up at our confirmed booking time, only to be told that the Port Hotel was no longer in business. We had a very difficult time scrambling to find somewhere else to stay.
We got a ground floor room so access to our vehicle was amazing. We have a 1 year old and it wasn’t an issue at all, rooms are soundproof and the motel is family friendly. We might just like Motels better now for family trips.
Restaurant's were very close. Staff was excellent!
Room price was the Best in town and got good quality for the room. Good Hot water. Very Clean bathroom. Smoke from smokers outside did not permeate into my room.
My request for a pet friendly room, close to the main entrance was fulfilled. The air conditioner is an essential in Port Alberni. Front desk staff were friendly and accomodating.
Thank you Bill and Milly!
We dream of getting back to meet you again!
