Alberni Inn

The only real plus was being close to the hospital and a few places to get food. Inside, the rooms were outdated and disgusting: dirty utensils, no bedsheets, and mold in the shower. There’s no office, either. You have to check in across the street at the gas station, which felt pretty unprofessional. Given the condition of the rooms, it’s a rip-off.

The room looked clean, including the sheets, floor, kitchenette, and bathroom, but the tub was clogged after we showered the next morning. Check-in had been across the street at a gas station. Just before we left, the desk attendant asked us to tidy up and make the beds. I usually take out our garbage before checkout, but making the beds made me wonder whether they change the sheets. We stay somewhere so they’ll clean it, after all.

Getting the room was strange: check-in is at a gas station across the street. Inside, there was plenty of space and it was fairly clean, but the furniture felt tacky, the paintings were creepy, and there weren’t many plugs. Everything looked badly outdated. It did the job for a night, but I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

We never checked in and went elsewhere for the night. The lot was full of U-Haul trucks, and the place looked run-down and sketchy. We couldn’t find any sign showing where the lobby or check-in was, so we asked some people parked out front. They were there to buy cannabis and had no idea where to go either. We found a Best Western down the road and had a good night there. I can’t recommend this place since I didn’t stay, and my first impression makes me doubt I would have.
