The hotel was okay, but it definitely feels a bit stuck in the past. While the decor and furnishings in the room were quite dated and could use a modern refresh, everything was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. If you don't mind an older aesthetic, the housekeeping standards make it a comfortable place to stay.
I always stay here when I visit port Alberni
Great guy and good prices

Motel was close to the Hospital and great for a 3 day stay with a living room, full kitchen and separate bedroom. Quick check in and spacious room but it needs some serious cleaning( the microwave and some walls wiped down would be great) and updating. The beds were comfortable and we would return as it was a great price.

The room was dirty and in urgent need of repairs. All cosmetic but dirty because of uncleanable surfaces. Bed was comfy. Kitchen was okay, but lacking a few utensils like a frying pan lifter, etc.
The location is good.
The property had a musty smell as we entered the room.
The carpet had a damp feel.
The beds were in good shape.
Towels were clean.
If the property has a clean paint and carpet replaced, it will be a good stay.

Positives: Fairly clean, comfortable bed, heating was good especially during cold season, very affordable, staff member at reception was friendly, most kitchen appliances were useful.
Negatives: Bad smell during the first day (with good ventilation and heating on, it went), shower did not work to begin with and when it did water was freezing.
The motel was extremely old. There were electrical cords on the floor and strung on the walls.
I would suggest detonate not renovate.
Beds were comfortable. Internet access was extremely difficult and there were only 2 specific areas in the room you could get access - one of which required you to stand up.
For the price, I would say NEVER stay here.
I was grateful to have a roof over my head on short notice over a high demand period that accepted pets. I am sure this place was once a very nice destination (probably 50-60 years ago). However, it was not well-maintained and the room was shabby. Credit for clean linens on the bed. Towels well past their usefulness - time to turn them into car rags. No recommendation from me.

The host was not very polite and seemed in a big hurry to check out for the day. The bedroom was hot as A/C didnt reach the room. The bed was comfortable enough, but the suite looked straight out of the 70's. We were provided with enough clean towels and kitchen equipment and he was quick to replace the broken toaster. I'd never been to Port Alberni, but the neighborhood was older, but safe enough. The cost did not reflect the quality and I'd probably not return, unless I needed a quick rest stop.
The man who checked us in was very friendly helped us with checking in and was very kind. Assisted us. The suite was good. We had a kitchenette, bathroom, living room with all the pots/pans, dishes. We bought paper towels, regular size soap and shampoo as we were there for 10 days. We swapped out the towels for more new clean ones after a few days. We had everything we needed. If your looking for a squeeky clean, new updated place this is not your stay. The beds and linens were clean but the motel room is older. If your looking for a quick and easy room for cheap this is the spot ..we traveled to nanaimo, ladysmith, tofino easily and its in a great spot near restaurants gas stations, tims, save on foods. It did the job for 10 days. The motel is attached to a trailer park which is fine, but be aware of your surroundings at night as there is some colorful charachters at night in the area. I would stay here again.
Would never stay here again. There was an awful urine and musty smell. Stains on the beds, flooring & bathroom. It looks like it gets a ten second tidy, aside from the towels, that were clean but smelt strongly of bleach. Location felt very unsafe. Thankfully the AC worked well for how hot it was. The “couch” is a futon bed and you can feel every spring. There is class everywhere, everything is unplugged because they want to avoid extra costs for running the utilities. Dishes were not cleaned properly, the fridge had a smell. Needless to say, I will never stay here again.
The owner/operator was challenging to communicate with both in person and by phone. Very old property with some maintenance so not completely run down but definitely not in good shape, in need of serious upgrades. Beds were reasonably comfortable, no offensive odors and we didn’t see any bugs so that was good. The trailer park behind the room was totally sketchy with people up and about all night long, although they didn’t make a lot of noise, it felt very unsafe. You must check in before 8pm and the office smells terrible. The pictures look better than real life.
It would be worth a few more dollars to stay elsewhere, we will not return.
