Pros:

It wasn't the cleanest property we've ever stayed at, but what was most disappointing is the hot water in the shower was warm, not hot.

Pros:

Parking was hard to access but mostly empty. Maybe because of the low occupancy or because it was difficult to access.
Coffee machine wasn’t working well. Went to the Sportsman inn where there was a sign on door to check in a pub next door. At pub, was given keys and sent to the McNeill inn next door to that. Very confusing and not overly welcoming.

Pros:

My wife booked for two nights at the Sportman's Inn. When we were trying to check in to the room.They send us to a busy pub next door to check in. The very busy bartender told us that she can't check us in because the owner run out of printing paper and didn't come back yet. It would take at least two hours. Little did we know that we actually had to stay at the Mc Neil's Inn close to the Sportsman's Inn. We stayed for two nights with no house keeping as advertised. We will definitely not stay there again.

Pros:

A very basic room for one night. It provided a bed which was all I needed. I felt safe as a single traveler, however, walls were thin, and I could here snoring from the room above. Overall, it served my purpose, but would not stay there for any period of time.

Pros:

We stayed on the top floor in Room 9. Small "living room" with a sofa bed, table, chair, lamp, wall-mounted tv, microwave, small refrigerator with freezer, counter, coffee maker, cups, coffee, sugar, coffee whitener (no spoons/stir sticks). The window does not open. Blind on window. The carpet in this area was very stained. It should have been vinyl/tile. Large closet with bedding for sofa bed, fan/iron/ironing board. Extremely large, tiled bathroom. Sink, counter, toilet, deep tub/shower (no grab bar). Usual toiletries/hairdryer. There was a partial wall, then the large bedroom with two, comfortable beds, dresser, wall-mounted tv, alarm clock, arm chair, side table with a lamp and WiFi booster. As this is at the back of the room, there was no window/airflow. Recently renovated. There is no reception area. Check-in/key pickup is at the Pub next door. There is no sign in the Pub, you have to flag down a server to get checked-in. No staff on-site and only saw a the housekeeper once during our stay. Had to ask her for more coffee/plastic glasses. There is no check-out, just a key drop-off box on the railing of the landing. The property sits kitty-corner to the water/harbour, so any view is a side-ways view, over the roof of the attached restaurant/parking lot and the adjacent pub. The area around the hotel is strewn with garbage/pizza boxes which was never picked up the entire 3 nights we were there. The hotel is still undergoing renovations.

Port McNeil was a very nice little town situated right on the ocean . It has great views of the harbour and you can walk to anywhere you might need to go . I would recommend staying at the Sportsmans Inn at the waterfront .
