Somass Motel

Port Alberni

A few tidy, level, graveled spots. Ours had electric and water. A couple had dumps too. The rest of this place is small cabin motel rooms. Everything seems pretty well kept up. There is one bathroom and shower, which means if someone is showering you aren’t going to be able to use the bathroom. The shower is small and the hot water is not abundant but it’s adequate. small outdoor pool that looked clean. Staff was friendly. 

Nice, simple RV spot

Had a quick stopover in Port Alberni and picked the Somass. Great choice! Very clean and bright room with many mirrors so I could get ready while hubby was in the shower. Liked the full sized kitchen with hot plate, would have been fun if we had been staying longer, it was a bit cold in the bathroom when we first arrived but warmed up after turning the heat on, might have been something wrong with the register in our room, not a huge deal as we were on and out. The bed was super comfortable omg didn't want to get up! Very nice for an older motel, will keep in mind if we come back this way in the summer. :)

Very comfortable bed!

Used as a base to wander around Vacover Island spending a little less.

Good foundation

Could not get a room in Ucelet or Tofino so drove back to Port Alberni to stay the night. Stopped here on a whim and am glad I decided to stay there. The rooms are clean & reasonabley priced & the owners very accomadating. Had a good sleep and was very impressed with this Motel.

Great quiet stay & clean rooms, great owner's.

So, the wife and I are heading back to Tofino again for my birthday week this year. This seems to be the only time I get around to posting reviews so here does a week of writing!

This Motel was recently purchased by a very nice family. We were planning on arriving at 10:30pm but my navigator (also know as the wife) fell asleep and I missed a turn off at Coombs and took and 30 KM detour.

The man at the desk was very pleasant and helpful and checked me in.  The room has two doubles and the beds were comfy - got a good nights sleep!

Small TV mind you - and the wife tricked me into watching a horrible Hallmark movie...

Bathroom was decent - but don’t put white body lotion next to the shampoo, cause I’m gonna think it’s conditioner and use it that way!

Also - when you shower in the morning and think you might hear knocking on the door - GO AND CHECK! Cause it might be your wife that is locked out for 20 minutes and needs to use the bathroom....

She might be mad at me.

Also - the place is pet friendly.  But it might be certain rooms - shhhhhhh ...our Chihuahuas are therapy dogs anyways...

There is a pool as well. I’m sure it’s wet and all that. Just happy the wife didn’t throw me in it when she locked herself out and blamed me for that ...I mean of course it was my fault. What was I thinking.

Good place - good price - nice staff. Recommend! Now onto Tofino! 



Late arrival due to sleeping navigator!

Clean motel with a nice pool.  The rooms are a bit dated and the bed a bit lumpy but is very clean and very quiet despite being on a main road.  

The staff are helpful and did their best to make the stay enjoyable.  

Would stay here again 

Quiet motel

We’ve stayed here multiple times, 3-4 times a year for the last 3 years. The staff is amazing, the rooms clean and very reasonably priced. I’ve never had a single complaint about anything with any of our stays. My children love it and play in the pool during the summer months

I love it here

Preferring to enjoy a leisurely drive to Long Beach and Tofino, stopping overnight in Port Alberni allows for a relaxing journey. Over the past few years, we've stayed at the Somass Motel and RV. Initially selected for the competitive rate offered, we have returned numerous times as the result of the remarkably clean rooms, the quiet surroundings, and the helpful and pleasant owners. There is the added bonus of being close to Victoria Quay where it's possible to watch bears walking along the opposing shoreline in the evening. This is a great place to stay. And you'll feel good about supporting people who are truly worthy of your business.

Stay Here. Seriously... It really is quite special.

The entrance to the site is a bit backward and not particularly welcoming, but the small studios on both sides of the road are nice and in very good condition. The reception is very friendly The small studio is well arranged, with a refrigerator, microwave. It is clean and in good condition. The bathroom is functional, well lit. In front of each house, there is a small terrace with chairs. The site also hosts RVs The pool is very shallow on the main part with a deeper place. A little cleaning of the grass around the bathroom would be welcome.

Nice stop.

It's a very clean and large room with good facilities. The bathroom was also very clean. The owners are very friendly and helpful and had good tips for travel planning. It's located on the Pacific Coast exit (Tofino, Pacific Rim NP) and only a few minutes from Stroak Lake.
