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.

Amiee

Disliked: Staff & service
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.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Its perfect for a place to crash. Nothing special about it but nothing really bad either.. I would come back if I was in the area.

The room is huge. It is with 2 queen beds and 1 sofa bed, which can accommodate a party of 6. The room is with an electric stove and with some basic supplies.

Disliked: Amenities
This property is squarely in the worst part of Port Alberni. Surrounded by a dilapidated trailer park. Locals mentioned to us that it is often rented by the hour. Staff booked us into a room that was already occupied by another guest. Checked us in at 12:00, but cut could not get us in early (we traveled to PA for an afternoon birthday celebbration) and when we returned later in the evening, we discovered the double booking issue. Had to bang on doors for over a half hour only to be told to go awa. Had to refresh the person’s memory that it was he who had checked us in earlier. After an hour we finally got a room…and let me tell you it was not worth the wait. Stay away from this property at all costs. Scraping underneath the bottom of the barrel.

Bring your own coffee, milk, sugar and dishsoap. I preferred to use my kettle. Lots of space. Old bedspread and insulating blankets. Windows allow fresh air for decent sleep.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Quiet adequate accommodation for the night. There appeared to be no heating in the main bedroom, but adequate blankets were provided. Difficulty experienced on check-in with payment-machine appeared to be down so needed to pay cash; fortunately I had enough cash with me
