Choice of hotels in that area are limited. This looked pretty good and I was right. Rooms were very clean and nice. We got a room on the back side away from the parking lot so it was quiet. The pool was too cool for me to use and we didn’t try the hot tub.

One reason we booked here was for the breakfast buffet. At check in we learned they haven’t had a breakfast buffet for many months.
The staff are absolutely fantastic. Front desk clerk was helpful and professional and made our stay much better!
Inside has been renovated but the outside is starting to show its age.
The restaurant was closed but our stay was made terrific by the incredible staff and housekeeping. Second time we stayed there. Definitely going back the next time we're in Port.
The hotel was clean and comfortable the kids enjoyed the pool. We were in town for a hockey tournament, and we understand that can be hectic. However the front desk staff wasn’t very flexible or accommodating. And we were denied a late checkout even though we could see online many rooms were available for incoming guests.

Good afternoon Rebecca, Thank you for your comments. Always nice to hear good feedback like this. The electric charger I have found a very nice amenity, an enexpected one for guests as well. Happy to hear that we can accomodate guests with such vehicles. Looking forward to welcoming you back in the future.

The staff at the property were rude and terrible to deal with. They wanted to charge us for multiple nights due to multiple bookings but we only booked once. They made us check into a 2 bed room instead of 1 and then tried to charge us more for that room. They told us we could cancel our Expedia booking (which we couldn’t). I’m not sure if we’ve been refunded yet
Nice and quiet windows open for night sleeping which is great!

Thought it was an expensive for what there was. Web site says there’s a grill but it was closed. Property and building needs some repair.

Hotel is currently under renovation. So the attached restaurant is closed at the moment. Our room was clean but our view was off the renovation dumpster. Didn't bother us we thought it was kinda funny actually. The staff was friendly and helpful always greeting us on our way in or out.
The pool "outside" but is fully covered an enclosed in by a fence so is private. It is also heated so it's nice & warm, and the hot tub was a perfect temperature. Just a little chilly when you get out.

Hello Irene, Thank you for your kind words about your stay with us. I am glad you were able to find some humour in your view. I hope we can welcome you back next time you visit Port Alberni. Warmest Regards, Chelsea
The bus dropped me off there from Nanaimo👍The bed was well worn, paint missing, wall paper peeling, room was not serviced between my two day stay, no food was available and only fast food within walking distance. 👎
Sink wasn’t running properly and the smoke detector went off a few times during our stay. Otherwise our experience was mostly pleasant.

Good evening Nathanial, Thank you for your comments and review. I am sorry to hear you had issues during your stay. With our rooms being smaller, and where the smoke detectors are place, unfortunately, a hot shower can sometimes set the alarms off. Though, I am not sure if this might of have been the case with your stay. I will let management know about the detector and the sink not running properly. I hope your next visit with us will be of better standards.Warmest Regard, Chelsea
Super rundown property. Chipped paint, heat didn’t work, taps broken in bathroom. Noisy - as one of the only two rooms in the hotel that night we were placed next to another room which was very noisy at midnight.
Had to move rooms to get quiet. Clerk didn’t bother to ask how the stay was at checkout. Not worth the money.
Good afternoon Jesse, I am happy to hear that you were pleased with your recent stay with us at the Hospitality Inn. I hope to welcome you back soon. Warmest Regards,
The property has not been maintained and is not well cleaned. Restaurant was closed, pool paint was chipping. Drug paraphernalia was found in a “cleaned” room. I would not recommend staying here.
Two of the nights were marked by noise as fellow patrons became intoxicated and fights broke out. On two of the nights police were called ----- and we lost about 2 hours sleep each night. This really affected our day time hours given our busy and demanding schedule while in town. We are seniors.
The staff was very polite and supportive but these circumstances make us wonder if we can continue to stay at this preferred location.
My beef about this hotel:
1. No elevator witness the front desk gave a disabled person a 2nd floor room and didn’t assist the party to their room.
2. Hallways too long and staying on the second floor the ice machine & snack machine out of order.
3. Being out for the day and then coming back to the hotel our room keys didn’t work for three days. We had to walk this long ass hallway downstairs and have the access card reactivated. Pain in the ass! It seems they hotel doesn’t trust their guests staying there.
4. OVERPRICED people for what you get in poor service and amenities.
Great stay. Liked the pool and hot tub. Plenty of good parking. Friendly, helpful staff. Room was clean, bed comfortable. Some minor observations…vending machine not filled/working; we were looking forward to the breakfast buffet but it was cancelled due to staff illness. Overall a pleasant stay!

Reception people excellent. The outside of building needs some work but the inside is nice and looks like it has been updated relatively recently. Rooms are clean and beds comfortable.

I am very sorry to hear that your stay fell short of expectations. I can assure you that your comments have been shared with the concerned leaders, to address these shortcomings. We take great pride in the quality of service that we provide, and I apologize that this was not what you've experienced.
No frills here, just a comfy, quiet room in a convenient location. The staff were friendly and helpful when we checked in, and the room was clean.
