Nimpkish Hotel, hotel in Alert Bay

Nimpkish Hotel is located on the beachfront in Alert Bay, Cormorant Island. All rooms feature a flat-screen TV with cable channels and a private bathroom.

Such a magical place to stay. It was lovely to be upgraded in our room and we stayed longer than we were going to. The new owners were in their first full week and they were so wonderful. The food is incredible.

Orca Inn, hotel in Alert Bay

Facing the beachfront in Alert Bay, Orca Inn has a bar and water sports facilities. The accommodation features evening entertainment and free WiFi. At the inn, all rooms include a wardrobe.

A room and bathroom in an older building - may have been a rooming house or an inn previous - it's fine - it's not luxury by any means but that's not what ya pay for... cheery innkeeper - there's an attached restaurant and pub but I was there for another event which prevented partaking in either.

Alert Bay Lodge, hotel in Alert Bay

Overlooking Johnstone Strait, this B&B on the south shore of Cormorant Island features ocean and mountain views. Orca whales can be spotted from the sun terrace. Log-style rooms offer free Wi-Fi.

We loved Alert Bay Lodge. It's rather quirky and clearly a labour of love for the owners Nina and Scott. There is an amazing communal space where you will find some really interesting objects and First Nations art. As well as comfy sofas and a lovely fire, tea and coffee is available. It is a wonderful open area to spend the evenings. From here you can access a veranda with incredible views over the water. The location is amazing, we saw orca in the water right outside the lodge! Nina and Scott are very friendly and engaging hosts. There was some healthy competition going on between them with their breakfasts. We had an early excursion on our first morning so Scott made us breakfast rolls to go, which were great. On our second morning we had pancakes made by Scott which were very nice but on our third morning we had pancakes made by Nina which were sublime (sorry Scott) We loved our stay here and would definitely return.

Alert Bay Sweet Home, hotel in Alert Bay

Alert Bay Sweet Home is a recently renovated holiday home in Alert Bay, where guests can make the most of its garden and terrace.

This one-bedroom house on the bluff overlooking the harbour with amazing views was a superb location for our 3 night stay on Cormorant Island. Cormorant is a magical place and the Village of Alert Bay is amazingly welcoming and friendly. We attended the 65th Anniversary celebration of the local library/museum, toured U'Mista Cultural Centre, walked the Ecological Park trails and soaked in the local atmosphere in the Village shops, shopped for gifts at Culture Shock where you can find the best coffee in the Bay.

    Visiting Alert Bay and the Umista Cultural Centre is a must-do for any BC resident. the history and story of the Kwawakuwak (spelt better) is important and the community and island are beautiful. Don't forget Culture Shock on the dock - a great shoppe with local artisan's work and amazing folks who run it. the giftshoppe at Umista is also wonderful... had great food @ pemba's kitchen and also the Bayside Inn Cafe for breakfast... go hiking, go explore - it's amazing

    Access to Alert Bay is by one of the new BC Ferries from Port McNeill. The ferry is a very smooth 40 min ride. The people we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Do not miss the U'Mista Cultural Centre which was very interesting and one highlight of our visit. We also saw the world's tallest totem pole which is 173 feet tall, and enjoyed many wonderful views around the island, which is not very large.

    Magical.

    Magical. To feel Alert Bay/Yalis, one needs to spend time in the U'Mista Cultural Centre and wandering around and talking to local First Nations people, all of whom we found very open and friendly and willing/interested to talk about and share their culture.

    This is a magical village - perhaps half First Nations, half European non-indigenous - working together. More carved totem poles and other carvings around the village than I have seen anywhere in the Pacific Northwest (including Haida Gwaii). We spent five nights/six days there, seemed just right to visit the world-renowned U'mista Cultural Centre, wander the village and spend some time bush-walking through the forests on the "back-side" of the island. We spent one day on a very worthwhile and satisfying bear and other wildlife tour boat, lead by First Nations guides, ending up with an impromptu guided tour of U'mista, an unforgettable experience with people who know and have been affected. We felt it a privilege and it was deeply moving to visit the cultural centre, a special place for the repatriation of sacred First Nations artifacts. We walked, easily, everywhere, no need for a car, in fact, I believe a car would be a bother and a hindrance. The Seine Boat Inn was a tremendous place to stay - ask for one of the two fully self-contained suites perched over the water with their own decks to the sunset.

    Alert Bay is a small island that is rich in First Nations culture and history. The U’mista Culture Centre is a must see, a board walk along the waterfront takes you through town and past the burial ground with several old totem Poles. I was there mid week and a lot of eating places were closed so bring your own snacks, maybe more is open on the weekend.

    For the two days we were there, we saw just about everything we wanted to but would have enjoyed spending more time at each place. Local people were very friendly and we probably learned more about the history and life in Alert Bay just from talking to people.

    Despite being an older building, the rooms, especially the bathroom, appeared to have been recently updated. Everything was clean and well-maintained and there was a barbeque that we were able to use. The full garden of planters on the deck made for a beautiful setting and having a room that stretched out over the water allowed for a beautiful view of the bay. The location was great. Steps right across the street led to the Alert Bay Ecological Park and there were a number of restaurants and a grocery store within easy walking distance.

    We had a lovely stay in Alert Bay at the Orca Inn with our extended family including the ever so silent children :) A lovely little Inn with nooks and books and a fantastic view of the sea. A whale and porpoises obliged us with frolicking right in front of our lounge window! Very glad to dine at the restaurant and enjoy live music with the locals at the pub. A genuine gem and would not hesitate to return. Big thanks to Larry :)

    Very close to the center of the town of Alert Bay. The Inn is within walking distance to the ferry terminal. Terry Lin and other staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our suite 103 gets a bit of "corridor view" of the water from the patio. Surprise a BBQ on the back porch is available to use. People on the island were very friendly except the Information Center.

The property has a very interesting history with lots of pictures and stories of the past glory days of Alert Bay.

    This is a historic hotel right on the beach, with views of nearby islands and a spectacular sunset. Our room was small and very comfortable. We had our own balcony and access to communal living spaces. Breakfast is included and the hostess also cooks dinner on request—delicious.
