Glen Lyon Inn

We decided to take a 3-day trip to Port Hardy, and stayed at the Glen Lyon Inn. Absolutely no complaints. The service at the front desk was efficient and friendly. The room was very clean and spacious; we rented the honeymoon suite for 3 days so that we could enjoy the jacuzzi tub. The fireplace worked great, the balcony was huge, and the view was absolutely spectacular. Having a window on each side, we woke up to stunning sunshine and ocean views. We would definitely recommend you stay at the Glen Lyon Inn when you are in Port Hardy! Finally, just some constructive criticism. We rented the honeymoon suite, so it would have been nice to have some wine glasses, some plates, some cutlery, etc in the room. It does have a built-in kitchenette with a microwave and a bar fridge, but we had to go down to the restaurant to get cutlery and wine glasses.

I had to make last minute booking adjustments to our two night stay to include another night. The gentleman at the front desk was most accomodating in making sure we had the same room for the three nights and not have to move to another room for the additional third night. The rooms were clean and comfortable and housekeeping was daily. I wouldn't hesitate staying here again.

I'm gauging this review on my personal experience and managed expectations for a location that is not a popular, international, big-budget destination for jetsetters and huge investors. It is an economic, well-designed, comfortable, professionally run establishment with free parking and located in a great place on Vancouver Island. The room was very comfortable and clean. The shower worked great and the mini-fridge was in good shape and not screaming all night keeping me up. :-) It seems that all the rooms have a great view of the ocean, mine included - great design. The lady at the front desk was so nice and we were checked in so quickly. Checkout was just a moment and the attached restaurant/pub was perhaps a little spartan but the food and service was great.
