Hotels in der Nähe von Pot Luck Ceramics, Port Alberni

Wow, wow, wow. This was a delight of a find. Stunning location, super friendly staff and decent sized rooms. Located about halfway between Nanaimo and Ucelet/Tofino, its a wonderful small hotel with just a handful of rooms -perfect sized for a family of 4 and quiet. The lake is stunningly gorgeous and we made full use of the hotel's (free) kayaks and paddleboards. There is a hidden waterfall about 30 mins walk where you have to use ropes to get down (our kids, 9 and 14, LOVED it). We also saw the beaver (named Justin by the staff 😀). Basic complimentary pastries and tea/coffee for breakfast. Dinner was plentiful, delicious and not the standard fare - try the fry bread - and reasonably priced for the amount. Boats regularly parked up so must be a good place for locals too. Staff extremely helpful and friendly, which was the cherry on top of a wonderful 3 night stay. Ps The grocery store and taco truck are the last food stops for about 80km so remember to stock up if heading to Tolfino.

Parents of neurodivergent children BEWARE!! We were visiting family for the day and spent most of our time at the pool. The lifeguard on duty was horrific, she abused her power and was often yelling unnecessarily at the kids trying to have fun. After yelling at my autistic son for going down the slide with his little sister, my sister ( who was watching him at the moment) approached the lifeguard and explained that my son was neurodivergent and would not respond well to her yelling at him, so if he did something that needed to be corrected could she please let my sister or myself know so we can talk to my son ourselves which would greatly reduce the risk of a meltdown. The lifeguard looked her in the face and said “ I will NOT do that, kids need to listen to ME and learn to listen to other people besides their parents.” After trying to explain again why this wouldn’t work for my son, the lifeguard became even more aggressive in the way she was speaking to my sister. It was shocking. Shortly after a young boy with Down syndrome was eating his ice cream by the pool, the lifeguard marched over there and yelled at the boy, “you can’t have that here!!” Grabbed the ice cream out of his hand and took it to his mother who was sitting by the fence. Everyone sitting there was horrified. It was really sad to watch the little guy so confused and upset while he was on vacation just trying to have fun. If your job is to monitor kids, it is crucial that you are sensitive to the neurodiversity of children and are properly trained to handle their uniqueness in a respectful manner. When you are approached by a caregiver who explains the needed way to deal with a neurodivergent child and decide that you are more equipped to handle that child using force and aggression, YOU are in the wrong job. That life guard is very lucky that it was my sister she was dealing with and not me. I will not recommend this resort to anyone. I am extremely disappointed and shocked.

This complaint involves a very troubling incident that took place at the Qualicum Beach Inn, Vancouver Island, on May 17th. We were assigned Room 105 when we initially booked into the hotel and paid $550.00 for our two night stay. First impressions of the room was that it was kinda dirty and not recently made up. Further inspection bore this out. Obvious that the floors had not been cleaned. The sheets on the first bed had not been changed as evident by the hair and flakes of skin on the sheets. The inspection of the second bed revealed something much more disgusting that we have never encountered on all our years of travel. There were several large brownish stains on the bottom sheet that appeared to be some type of bodily fluid. This was totally gross and could have posed a serious health hazard if the stains had contained an active pathogen of some type. We immediately reported this to Brad, the night manager, shortly after 8:00 PM on the 17th. Brad was rather muted in his response. He showed little emotion and did not offer an apology of any kind. He did acknowledge that this was not acceptable. I was very upset and told Brad I wanted a clean room. He gave us another room on the second floor for the remainder of our two night stay. We are very disappointed and upset how this whole situation was handled by Qualicum Beach management. The hotel took the position that the replacement room on the second floor was considered an upgrade which represented adequate compensation for our inconvenience. We never requested an upgraded room. We were puzzled by the hotel’s indifference to our outrage over the unsanitary conditions in the room. We were both very upset and distressed by the lack of an empathetic response to our situation. Most reputable hotels would have bent over backwards to make sure we were taken care of. Instead, we get ‘attitude’ from Brad and No Apology. The reality is that the Qualicum Beach Inn dropped the ball on this one. Disgusting dirty room, poor customer service and attitude. To address our concerns we expect an apology from the Qualicum Beach Inn and monetary compensation for our stress, anxiety and inconvenience caused by this incident. We sent a detailed email on May 22nd with photos of the soiled sheets to the General Manager, Irina Ciumac, outlining the basis of our complaint and our expectations for a resolution. We have not received a response of any kind from the Qualicum Beach Inn regarding this incident.

Ohne Tourismusberater, denke ich, ich könnte dieses Hotel verpassen. Allerdings ist es eine tolle Entdeckung! Alles in diesem kleinen Hotel ist perfekt und ungeschickt. Wir haben hier zwei Nächte im Präsidentenzimmer Siam verbracht, sehr groß, sauber und sehr romantisch. Der enthusiastische Gastgeber und alle Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich (anders, manchmal fühlen Sie sich enthusiastisch, dass es vorsätzlich gemacht wurde). Das Essen, das das Butlers Restaurant bietet, ist auch sehr lecker. Es ist ein kleines und exquisites Hotel, das wir lange später bedenken werden. Wir sind noch lange auf dem Weg nach England, aber eine gute Ruhe wird uns energisch ausbauen und sicherstellen, dass wir so schnell wie möglich ankommen.
