Seine Boat Inn

One of the most stunning and beautiful places to stay. The staff was excellent. Waking up in Room 106 feels like waking up on the ocean itself. Quiet, spacious, very comfortable. Beautiful wood furnishings, large bathroom and a well stocked modern kitchenette. It was a special privilege to visit Alert Bay.

A beautiful place to stay. The rooms are large and comfortable, the decor is quirky, Island style. You can walk from the ferry and to all the sights. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My room has a microwave, fridge and double burner if you want to eat in.

We enjoyed a long labour day weekend at the Seine Boat Inn in Alert Bay. TerryLynn made the reservation process and preparation for our visit so easy, answering my many pesky questions and welcoming us warmsly when we arrived after our ferry from Port McNeil. We stayed in Room 205, which is the large king bedroom right on the water. What amazing views, the sunsets are especially beautiful! The bed was very comfortable, and the room had a full kitchen, making it easy to prepare simple meals. We also enjoyed the Orca Restaurant for dinner. On the island, the Umista Cultural Centre is a must-do, and a walk to the 'back' of the island and along the rocky beach there is very peaceful. We also took a grizzly viewing tour with Sea Wolf Adventures and highly recommend that--we were lucky to see 3 pods of orca at once, all feeding in a big tidal rip. Highly recommend the Seine Boat Inn and Alert Bay!

What a fabulous place to stay. So quaint, and cozy. We had a great stay here, and loved the location, views and wonderful Manager, Terrylynn. So much history in this little town and the hotel which was built around 1940, has been very well maintained. Comfy beds, clean and one of the cutest hotels around.

One of the most charming places I have ever stayed! The ambience was wonderful, so much history. The gardens were bright and cheerful. Very clean and comfortable. Had one of my best sleeps ever. Check in was a breeze and super informative.

We have stayed twice at this Inn and we love it. It is exceptionally clean and comfortable and you simply sink into the simplicity of Alert Bay when you stay here. There is a little kitchenette and a grocery store across the road but as it is a very small community and not all eateries are open every day you just need to plan out your groceries or eating times. Terry is very helpful and responds to emails very quickly when you make inquiries. The location itself allows you to be there 2 minutes after you get off the ferry, doors on either side of your room allow you to step out and watch the sunrise or the sunset and the views are wonderful.
