It was comfortable accommodation however, we left after one night (we'd booked/paid for 2 nights) because we felt unwelcome, intimidated by the both owners who were rude, angry, argumentative, exacting house rules and generally very unpleasant. They did not say hello and introduce themselves when we arrived, they said 'You're late', we'd scheduled our arrival btw 6-7pm and arrived at 6.15pm. Our 'dinner ' was already on the table but they didn't tell us what it was and instead took us up to our room which was followed by more rules (don'ts). They were sexist, dismissive, frightening people. After a fitful sleep, we felt unsafe and there were no locks on our door, we decided to leave. I summoned courage to knock on the owners door and when I said we were leaving a day early, he smiled said 'thank you for staying with us and shut the door in my face. It was an absolute relief to leave.

We went to Port Alberni specifically to golf. The course is lovely. It’s well maintained with the front nine being relatively flat with a creek meandering thru several of the holes. The back nine moves you into a series of gentle climbs in a forest with deer and hawks in abundance. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. Thank you Angie!

I went to Port Alberni in order to go on a boat trip to Bamfield, which was really nice. Port Alberni itself is not really worth visiting, though. There is just a lot of industry and cars everywhere, so I wouldn't recommend it for anyone without a car.

We stayed in Port Alberni as a stopover on our short vacation to the coast; accordingly, it is difficult to assess/review the town. I met one lovely couple while banking and was greatly impressed by their friendliness and willingness to help a total stranger.

Port Alberni is relatively easy to get around. Lovely hiking spots and parks. Great sports areas. On the beautiful ocean inlet, with fabulous views. A variety of shops and restaurants. The gateway to the wild west coast. First Nations cultural experiences available. I would not forget my cell phone charger so that getting around might be even easier with GPS. My favourite was going on a dog walk with my hosts along a lovely wild path by a stream with waterfall and a beautiful kingfisher.

Staff smoke in the lobby They bring their children to work and children are constantly pulling the fire alarms Rude service some staff were nice though Maid did not ever clean the rooms No more breakfast Broken vending machines Not safe for children Fire hazard as there’s no cover on fire place And the laundry shoot door is always open a child could fall through that Over priced for what they provide Not impressed and the location is filled with drug addicts and homeless people Maids steal your medication too Poor service all on all
