Top Alert Bay Hotel Reviews

Sportsman's Inn on the Harbour Front

8/10 Good

"The room was much better than what we expected from the outside appearance. The couch was very worn and uncomfortable. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was excellent. With no windows that could open we had to keep the door open with the floor fans running to provide some air flow. As the day was cool, that was okay but it would be uncomfortable on the occasional hot summer day. There were some excellent places to eat close by. We enjoyed the Devil's Bath Brewing for dinner - excellent pizzas and beers."

Nimpkish Hotel

8/10 Good

"The Nimpkish hotel is a very quaint little place in a charming little village. More like a B & B with only 7 rooms but a lovey little find. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is great. Our room on the top floor was very unique and has a lovely balcony overlooking the water. Beautiful! The breakfast room is small but the view more that makes up for that. The food selection is very limited but satisfying. There aren’t a lot of options in Alert Bay but the Nimpkish Hotel is a very charming little spot and well worth a visit. The pub / patio downstairs is great too!"

Ocean View Retreat 1006 Jekyll on 2 Private Acres in Port McNeill

10/10 Excellent

"This is a modern, clean and comfortable cabin with a well-equipped kitchen. The setting is lovely with ocean views, covered bbq area, patio and fire pit surrounded by a big lawn on a four acre property. It's only a 10 minute walk to the local beach. We set up our base here and spent four days exploring the area including visiting Alert Bay and the U'mista Cultural Centre, San Joseph Bay and the towns of Port McNeil and Port Hardy. Steve made the stay extra special by treating our teens to a ride on the side-by-side and a trip to the lake for a couple hours on the jet-skis. Definitely would stay here again."

The Outlook at Telegraph Cove, a place to relax, rejuvenate and unwind

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our 2 night stay! The apartment is well equipped and clean, and the views over the harbour are incredible. Beds were comfy, wifi was fast, kitchen was well equipped, and location is impossible to beat! We were staying in TC for a bear watching trip with Tide Rip so the apartment was perfectly located for the early start. There's a great restaurant and pub, general store and art gallery within steps of the home so we had everything we needed. Would love to stay again in the future."

Azure Ocean Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better home base to explore North Vancouver Island. The property was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. It was the perfect place to relax after days spent exploring the area.The location was peaceful, the views were beautiful, and we especially appreciated the chance to slow down and enjoy the incredible scenery that makes Port McNeill so special. Communication with Ray was excellent from start to finish, friendly, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. Some advice preload the lock box code as there is zero reception. This stay became a special part of our family’s memories as we shared this adventure with my parents during their cross-Canada journey. Thank you, Ray, for your hospitality and for providing such a wonderful place to stay. We would happily return and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area."
