    “Comfy, Convenient, Considerate!”
    Reviewed 6 October 2015 for a stay in August 2015

    This is the place to stay on Alert Bay. Just steps from the ferry and market, beautiful view from the porch, totem poles additional steps from door, and plush and cozy accommodations. Maxine was not only considerate of our desire to have our pup along, but she rushed to send my case of makeup that I left on the table!...
