Stayed for the price, and it was clean.
The Redford is very well managed and taken care of by the attentive staff. We had a wonderful 3 days there. The pizza at Dimitri’s is top of the line. Like pizza used to be.
Unsatisfied
Didn’t get what was booked, had to pay CAN $423,75 more to get the correct place 😡 Place is ok, have used it before, but the case for extra payment for this stay, will unfortunately cause that it not will be used in the future.
Wasn’t expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Place was old school and not fancy. Beds were firm, there were three pillows on each and the place was clean. The minor cons: Plugs were in awkward places for recharging and the toilet was higher up off the floor than normal. I’m 5’4” and my feet didn’t quite touch the floor while using it. It seems like they served very good pizza from the restaurant on the premises, there was a long line of people putting in orders and waiting while we were checking in.
Friendly check in staff. Spacious room. Air conditioned as it was very hot those two days
Great customer service
Thought I was getting a basic room but I got a kitchenette
We called ahead to let them know we were going to be getting in late the put our room key in a lock box and put it on the door of our room so we could get in right away and had a super easy early check out. Also loved their wall where they posted all the things and donations they do to help there community Definitely will stay there again
Great place
Terrible food at Dimitri’s that is part of the motel
Easy access nice staff quick registration great pizza
Herb was friendly and nice to deal with. My room was clean and the area quiet, even though next to a main road.
Very accommodating staff and clean rooms with comfortable beds.
Our room was immaculate, the bathroom new and the bed not too soft, parking right outside, air conditioned and quiet. Although we did not use the kitchen, it would have been great as well! Thank you!
It was really nice. We got a room with a ‘divider’ but it was more than a divider. It put one queen bed in a whole separate room. Great for privacy. We were pleasantly surprised to find some dishes and cutlery in a drawer with dish soap and cloths. Desk staff were really really nice. We really enjoyed our stay.
Comfortable? Quieter than I expected, clean, friendly & helpful staff. They only have blinds on the windows and should install curtains as lights and sun make the room brighter than it should be.
Staff friendly. Covid -19 measures in place.Room very clean. Older fridge and stove unit but functional.Had microwave and coffee pot. Basic.
clean and satisfactory accomodation
Clean. Satisfactory. Good pizza in their take-out resraurant
Hotel nice, except bed was extremely soft - made sleeping difficult
This is a convenience area if you want to drive to Tofino with a reasonable price.
The room was very large. I appreciate the staff ensuring we would have access with our late arrival.
Spacious and pleasant staff.
Very humble place but spacious. The staff are friendly, decent food, clean and for the price, just perfect for a night or 2. Not our first time here and definitely will not be our last either.
Good quiet ocation, clean and prompt service snd information advice.
Very helpful staff. Good location. Pleasant stay.
It suited our purposes for one night but we were disappointed that the Wifi service included an unsecured network.
Great place
Staff were very nice and welcoming. Had no problems. Check out was easy
Welcoming place to stay
Very welcoming people who saw that we were exhausted and put us in a room on the ground floor, very thoughtfully
the odor from the cleaning product(s) was very strong almost unbearable. we opened the windows and it was fine
The Redford is quite dated but is clean, has convenience of a small frig, microwave and stovetop. Quiet, and comfortable. Convenient location.
Slightly disappointing
We were a little disappointed as we had booked a.double queen room with a separate room for one of the beds as we do not get up at the same time. It was given to a couple who checked in just in front of us. They also got the large fridge and ours was very small. Painting was very amateurish with lots of paint over runs.
The only improvement needed was an anti-slip mat for the bathtub.
Great motel. We had one very comfortable night here and would recommend it to anyone travelling in the area. The owner, Herb, was so helpful and interesting to talk to. This place is on the outskirts of town which meant it was very quiet at night. Bed was comfortable, TV, alarm clocks and internet worked well.
very good place and close to Tofino
Family suite is good.
Room is large ang clean. We got a nice full kichent.
Highly recommended.
Overall, exceeded expectations. Staff very friendly and efficient. Food at Demitri’s was excellent. Lovely town. High value for dollar. Would recommend highly.
Great all around!! Would highlt reccommend. Hopefully be back one day.
It Was fine not cheap thow.
Nice, Clean and affortable hotel
Nice stay, clean and lot of space, friendly and welcome staff.
Great Staff!!
The check-in process with easy and quick. The room was big, clean, and had a kitchen to cook in, which is a nice luxury you don't find at most hotels. The staff were so nice and amazing! I had left my jacket in the room, and they were so helpful in helping me ship it back home to me. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!!
The room is match to price in the location
Service with a Smile
Staff went out of their way - couldn't do enough for us. From bringing our luggage to the room to picking up liquor and groceries for us. Very friendly and helpful in their recommendations for the area. Tell the local pizza joint where you are staying for special pricing. 5 stars!
Clean and outdated.
I like clean and this motel was clean. Pet peeves no conditioner for my hair and no tissues and really cheap toilet paper. And very outdated. I like pretty and there were no pics on the wall and very outdated furniture.
Comfortable suites, great guest service!
My family and I stayed at the Redford motel on the hottest day of the summer (July 2017) and was very pleased with the cleanliness of our suite, 3 air conditioners, the fantastic welcome we received from staff and owner. Totally recommend this place to anyone. We will be returning for sure!!
Wonderful comfortable stay! :)
Booked a couple nights here to attend a family wedding in the area. Wonderful little motel. Definitely outdated (although we are told they are updating soon!) but super clean and the owner/staff are super friendly and accommodating. The restaurant (Dimitri's I think it's called) is closed for renos but is still doing take-out and we seriously had the best pizza I've had in forever - thin crust/lots of toppings! So yummy! checked in a bit late (around 10'ish) and ordered a pizza because we were starving after 5 or so hours on the road, and it was delivered to our room! We will definitely stay again! Looking forward to seeing the updates!
Comfortable hotel
Very clean, fresh paint and blinds. Checking in was easy. Enjoyable stay in a friendly town.
Great Family Motel
The room was spacious, we had booked a suite and were given a two bedroom apartment, which for a travelling family was wonderful!. The rooms are a little dated, but clean, comfortable with a full kitchen. The staff was friendly and welcoming. It was a long day and it was nice to have the room delivery option from the motel restaurant which was tasty and affordable. We would stay again if our travels bring us to Port Alberni.
I happened into Port Alberni after a long day in Tofino. There was no place there, so I returned the ninety-minute drive to there for a place to stay on by way back to the ferry the next day. I registered for this hotel and arrived just ten minutes prior to them closing for the day (11pm), but was greeted with a very warm welcome and chat. I did not seem to be an inconvenince and was promptly made to feel at home. The suite was remarkably comfortable and was tremendously well-priced. I would recommend this hotel with high marks !
Clean, friendly, easy to find
I had my doubts, but once I met the owner I was pleasantly surprised. The room was super clean, though a bit dated, but the beds were new and quite comfortable. Great shower pressure. And they managed to fit our friends in in their RV at short notice on the long weekend! We would stay there again!
The beds were comfortable and it was nice having a 2-room motel room. It seemed quiet enough even though it is on a main road. The 2 people we talked to at the desk were very friendly and knowledgeable.
This is the second time we have had the pleasure of staying at the Radford and the hosts were the same .we enjoyed meeting them again and would certainly stay here again. If the owners receive a copy of this Please accept our sincere thanks. PC & MC
Great motel and comfortable room.
Great motel, easy check in process, friendly staff. Comfortable room and spacious. Location of motel is on main road but noise isn't too bad.
Good value for the money
Great to have kitchen with stove/oven/fridge/microwave. Great to have 2 bedrooms. Great to have a living room and an eating area. Beds were comfortable. Only issue was all the stairs up to the suite.
hotel was very clean, location was great. staff was very good and having a restaurant in the hotel was very good with good food
Nice hotel , clean and good staff
We arrived late after 11 pm and the manager made arrangements for us to have to key. Nice room with all you need for a couple or family
Cheap
Cheap and it was sufficient. Met our needsClean but very basic,particularly kitchen facilities.
Great motel, very accommodating
Wonderful staff, very nice room. Everything we could want
OK but could use some TLC
This motel is family owned and we had a good visit with the owner. The room was very plain but comfortable. We were only overnighting so were only concerned with a clean comfortable room and bed and were not disappointed. That being said the room smells musty and is in desperate need of upgrading.
Good budget choice in Port Alberni
We really liked this motel. The separate bedroom and the kitchen were a bonus. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well.
Nice motel and excellent service
the price was very reasonable. The room was comfortable and clean. The owner and his staff were very helpful and considerate and the food was great too.
A good place for an overnight stay on route to a kayak trip. Staff were friendly and bed was comfortable.
Had a great stay. Rooms are spacious staff was very friendly and accommodating!
Basic but clean
Gods for a one night stay before catching ferry. Recent temps, simple food prep area
We stayed here as the price was right. The hotel staff was very helpful.and would definitely stay here again. The motel.was older but clean
Getaway
Well located if you want to see the surrounding. You can order some food and get it delivers to your room. Food is good. Well equipped. The highway is not disturbing.
friendly motel in good location
the staff very friendly, took care of replacing a light bulb immediately
Redford motel in port alberni

I recomend to anybody.
Pleasant and comfortable and we enjoy our stay. The manager is nice and friendly.
Nice and clean.
Older motel but was clean and service was great. I'd stay here again.
good location
Large clean room, friendly staff, good amenities, could supply clock.
It was I expected, fair.
I sort of expected it to be like camping. So I brought my own pancake pan, and utensils [ there was plenty supplied], but I like my own things. The stove worked fine, but the fridge kept cycling every 20 minutes and was quite noisy the first night. I guess I got immune to it by the 3rd night...the restaurant was open, but you could only get take-out or delivery-kinda of strange. The walls are pretty thin, so chatting or laughing, other people were going to hear you. It served the 'need', TV limited channels, but it had music which calmed. Coffee maker, ironing board and iron, hair dryer. I didn't see a pop machine-brought my own. No ice machine in view either. Liquor store and other services very handy, lots of parking and an RV 'yard' behind the 'motel'.
Good location
Have stayed here before. It is an afordable clean newly renovated Motel for the frugal traveler.
Never Again
Should have known something was amiss when my vehicle was the only other one of a total of two in the parking lot. The motel next door was over half full. The "Non-Smoking" room smelled of tobaco smoke; there were cigarette burn stains on the rim of the bathtub; NO complimentary shampoo in the bathroom; the bath towell should have been relegated to the cleaning rag bin; some of the cutlery was still dirty from the last guest; the fridge door barely closed because of the ice buildup in the freezer compartment; all the control knobs on the stove were half melted from some past overheating mishap; any upgrades done in recent history appeared to have been DIY (poorly, at that). All this for $5/night MORE than the motel next door, the one whose parking lot was over half full.
Location was convenient. OK, if you just need a place to stay for a couple of days. The towels were all stained. Management wanted the dishes washed but only place to do it was in the bathroom sink. Smoke alarm had a dying battery and beeped all night long. Probably won't stay here again.
