Sportsman's Inn on the Harbour Front

Great quiet stay, in central location

Room was dated, but very clean and spacious. Great view of the harbour.

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.

Overall experience was good. We could be back again.

odd check in. wasn't expecting much so the actual rrom was a pleasant surprise. Unique lay out

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.

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.

Hotel has no staff on site. Very dirty carpets. Shabby

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.

Room was nice and bigger than anticipated. It had a great view of the water too! Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly!

Parķing was beside the building
Walking to ferry right there

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.

Clean spacious room.

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 .

Clean and tidy room close to the waterfront

Bathroom was renovated but carpets need replacing urgently

Staff was great.

We stayed here for one night as we were passing thru the area. The rooms aren't fancy but are comfortable and had everything we needed.

Clean and comfortable

We delayed booking until far too late and there were virtually no rooms available in Port Hardy so we looked at Port McNeil & found this hotel.
The pictures looked nice, the rate was very good, the reviews were mixed...
The Good:
(1) Port McNeil is actually much more charming a village than Port Hardy. So for a night this was a great choice.
We enjoyed the marina, the excellent Devil's Bath brew pub, and Gus's Grill (outstanding fresh seafood!) the restaurant associated with the hotel.
(2) The after labour day rate was good.
(3) The staff were friendly and nice.
(4) Very comfortable bed.
The BAD
(1) Bait-and-switch. When we arrived, following directions, went to Gus's for check in. Were informed that the Sportsman's Inn we booked was closed for "refreshing" and instead we'd be staying at a different hotel on the other side of Gus's, which was NOTHING like the hotel we'd booked on line.
The UGLY
(1) The room we were given, #2, was on the ground floor, in a parking lot (not harbour view as booked).
(2) The bathroom caulking was BLACK.
(3) The side table, cheap pressboard, was pitted and marked (for $10 at a thrift store you could do better)
(4) the microwave & coffee maker the cheapest I've ever seen.
(5) There was no cultery, plates, nothing The table provided was wobbly.
All in all, check before booking if you are REALLY getting the Sportsman's Inn or being shunted off to a dive with NO warning until arrival.
