We stayed one night in Port Alberni as part of our road trip from Victoria to Tofino, and it turned out to be a fantastic stopover. The accommodations were impressively spacious and ideal for our group of four adults and one dog. Our unit had everything we needed and more: two bedrooms, nice bathroom, a full kitchen, dining table, sofa, TV, and even a recliner. There was plenty of space to relax after a long drive. The entire unit was spotless. It’s clear the hosts take pride in maintaining a clean and well-kept space, which made our stay all the more enjoyable. Whether you're passing through or staying longer, this spot in Port Alberni is a hidden gem. Spacious, clean, and pet-friendly—highly recommended!

Very comfortable rooms with nice beds. Extremely clean and had everything you’d need. The only thing that was a bit odd was the parking. Slightly tight spots and had to back onto the road to get out but I would absolutely stay here again.

In my past experience, motels are all the same, and usually a bit run down, but this motel was different. We were pleasantly surprised; the interior was updated, soft towels, comfortable higher quality pillows, and very cozy comforters. There was nice undercover seating where we visited with guests, and we felt very safe. I would highly recommend this lovely motel.
