Best Western Plus Barclay Hotel

This hotel is nicely appointed and within walking distance to downtown and the river. Amiable staff. The outside could use a bit more green space but that's true for most places. Overall a nice place to stay. less

We love to take short trips to explore Vancouver Island, usually overnight, with lots of driving. We stopped at several wonderful spots like Cathedral Grove, The Hole In The Wall on the way to the hotel. Clean and recently decorated, the hotel has a gorgeous mural of Della Falls on the exterior facade. It is always great to have a full service restaurant for breakfast. The walls of the restaurant have a wonderful display of local sites. Service on the lounge and restaurant was great. They let us borrow glass wine glasses for our wine in our room. Coffee in the room, but no bottled water. A great spot and price is always reasonable here. less

I always stay at the Barclay. It is the only hotel in port that has all I require. Restaurant, Bar, Cold Beer& Wine. Wifi, parking, King size beds, pool, gym. Why would I stay anywhere else. Staff very nice less

Worst hotel ever. The receptionist changed my rate to 135 $ after i signed for 115$. It is a illegal action I will be pursuing my actions... They told me to call back every time I call they say different reasons to make me believe its my mistake less

The room was ready for an early check-in which was greatly appreciated. Stayed in room 520, king business, and the few extra dollars were worth it. The room was large, looking out at a mountain view and a local road. Port Alberni is a logging town, and there was no street noise at all. The mountains were touched with snow. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, sheets were soft and smooth, duvet very welcome and cosy. The desk was a decent size, extra blankets were in the chest, and an armoire housed an ironing board and iron, with lots of room to hang clothing. The Pharmacopia brand soaps, shampoo and lotions were surprisingly good- a tantalizing citrus scent filled the bathroom and wafted through the room-a mini spa experience! The gym, located on lower main, with Apex machines and free weights was clean, with lots of towels and a water cooler. A large room with tv, really good for a hotel property. The sauna was above decent, and the hot tub was very clean. As this was off season, the outdoor pool was not open, but it is a good size with a large deck. The restaurant has a working fireplace, making a cosy atmosphere - and the serving staff are cheerful and welcoming. The food is good, basic, and fair-priced with a 20% discount at breakfast for hotel guests. Evening has a deeply rich and tasty french onion soup, made from scratch, worth ordering! Overall, a very good stay, housekeeping staff cheerful and efficient. A very clean, stylish hotel. Best - a large, well lighted parking lot, suitable for motorhome or truck. less
