"Good spot to relax and visit port hardy"

8.0

The layout was good and everything worked. The beds were comfy and checking in was fairly simple. Staff were very friendly and beyond helpful (keys got locked in my van and they contacted the tow company).

Could use a bit more in the way of utensils/cups/plates etc. Also a bit of touching up but it was a typical motel feel.

"The Pioneer inn lived up to its name. It was a rustic experience sleeping at the Pioneer Inn."

4.0

The suite had recently been renovated, although it had fresh paint, a new kitchen and newer flooring the furniture seemed like original and was a lot more…rustic. The beds were very hard- we all slept poorly and had sore backs in the morning. The hide-a-bed sofa had a very thin mattress that you could feel the two bars through- it was so uncomfortable that my older son slept on the floor. We felt that it was overpriced for what we got. For less money we were able to book a cabin at the RV park down the road for our second night that was very comfortable, clean and new inside.

From the moment we arrived we were hesitant, this place looked really rough and run down. The stairs and balcony up to the second floor looked a little dilapidated and the wood was rotted in places. The main office smelled of mould. The guest contract stated that if you left any dirty dishes in the kitchen you would be charged $200 additional dollars and that if you chipped or broke a dish you would be charged an additional $100-300.
