A gem in the heart of Port Alberni, tucked away a hop skip and jump from the lake. Room was quaint, charming and most importantly CLEAN. Very happy that we chose a locally owned business.

What a terrific little motel! Travelled to Port Alberni for a weekend trip with my sister and daughter and to do the Lady Rose Ferry ride to Bamfield. We stayed 2 nights and the rooms were so comfy. Great location for some good restaurants. Highly recommend! Would definitely go back!

Philip, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed 9 years ago on a recommendation and was so impressed back then that upon our next return we made sure we stayed here again. Stayed in a two bedroom cottage this time and was spotless, spacious and comfortable. Will stay again when next return and will continue to recommend.
Paula, 1-night trip

Great place to stay
The room was nice, comfortable beds and airconditioning. Large courtyard with plenty of seating and bbq's for use. I believe the best part of the stay was the friendliest of the staff. Made us feel like family. Will definitely stay there again

Aaron, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our second time staying at Riverside. This time we were a group of three and we opted for a cottage. It was super spacious and comfortable, with everything we could possibly need. It’s also a very short walk from Twin City Brewing and a (slow but free) EV charger
Maree, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The motel was very clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchenette was great and had everything we needed and the front desk attendant was friendly and welcoming. We will absolutely be coming back!
