Pioneer Inn by the River

Excellent motel style accommodation with friendly and accommodating host

Pros: Really helpful and understanding host. We had explained that we would be arriving on the ferry from Prince Rupert a little after midnight. Despite the late hour the motel was very happy to receive us. We had a comfortable room with sufficient beds for the four of us. Kitchenette and fridge, although we didn't use these as there were drinks (tea, coffee, chilled water) and even continental style breakfast available in the reception area. Would we recommend? Yes. Would we stay again? Definitely!

Cons: Two double beds rather than one double and two twin, but we knew this would be the case, as as it seems to be usual across Canada at our budget end of the market we were happy to work with this.

Pros: The Korean/Japanese restaurant was fabulous! The staff were lovely and the food was great!

Pros: Availability of light breakfast ( we had not expected this(. Convenient for Port Hardy Ferry

It's a simple motel but very clean and practically located for accessing the ferry. Would stay again

Pros: It's a simple motel but very clean and practically located for accessing the ferry.

Pioneer Inn - would stay again!

Pros: Very clean, updated room and amenities. Light continental breakfast snacks & coffee available. Friendly and helpful staff, Quick and easy check-in. Key drop for early morning check-out.

Pros: The location is excellent connecting North-South and West-East of Vancouver Island. Well cared Owner operating facility.

We like to stay here - near Port Hardy but out of town.

Pros: Quiet, beautiful environment - great place to go for a walk with family and friends. Room was clean and the kitchgen had most of what we needed.

I felt we paid way too much for what we got. We would only stay there again for a lower price.

Pros: When we entered the family suite we were greeted with a fresh clean smell. Everything looked very clean. The kitchenette had a full stove, a microwave, a coffee machine , big fridge and a good size sink. We liked that there were 4 gas barbecues available for the guests. The suite was a nice big size for the 3 of us plus a small dog. The hotel is in a forest setting, it was very quiet there. There are nature trails nearby. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Cons: THE KITCHENETTE: Not enough dishes [cups] for the number of guests. No soup bowls. No cooking pot. No salad bowl. The kettle was ancient {that is why I like a big cooking pot to boil water in]. The door to the bedroom did not close properly. There was a bullet hole in the bedroom window. The was a lack of counter top space around the sink in the bathroom. The fridge was making noises at night.

Great motel! Would stay again.

Pros: Free cookies in the lobby, separate bedroom in the room.

Cons: Pullout couch was very creaky.

Very nice, I would recommend is stay here

Pros: Very helpful at check in met us at the entry and showed us were to park. Rooms were clean and nice

Cons: Breakfast was pretty light, not much to choose from
