Nimpkish Hotel is an excellent place to stay on Cormorant Island. We arrived very late at night due to a late last ferry but the owners and staff were extremely accommodating and helpful. The facility was clean and charming. Breakfast overlooked the beautiful harbour and offered lots of options. Highly recommend.
This is a 100 year old hotel in the village of Alert Bay. Our room had a small balcony with a great view. The breakfast included bread, fruit and yogurt.
The dining room downstairs had a limited menu. Donât pay any attention to the one posted online. Prices, of course were higher , but the food was good.
Amazing location on the water with the added bonus of a restaurant on site. Varied and fresh items for a self-serve breakfast.
Walls are thin so bring ear plugs as not all guests are respectful.
The owner was great at providing information about the area and the ferry before arrival.
It's an old inn and rustic which is cool but it is missing something. Staff is adequate but there was little interaction or interest in the guests. Aside from one cheery table server the owner and wife were lackluster, and we had the impression they didn't really want to be there. The restaurant menu needs an update with fresh salads and fresh food. Too much food comes from frozen like French fries, halibut even the beef and broccoli were from the freezer. Fries accompany most food with no other choices, i.e. a salad. Sticky menus and stained aprons are not impressive. The continental breakfast could use more variety and don't put out brown bananas. The rooms are clean but the lazy-boy chair in my room looked old and stained. Having a balcony was great and overall, everything was okay but too expensive for what you got.
Thank you to Will, for upgrading us to an ocean view room, where we could sit on the deck and admire the stunning ocean view. The complementary breakfast was substantial, again with fantastic views. Dinner in the restaurant was convenient and delicious. We highly recommend the Nimkish Hotel
