My TripAdvisor Review No.497: Glen Lyon Inn, Port Hardy, Vanc-Island, BC, Canada.

Room With A View.


As we entered the premises the first impression was that of an ordinary motel with identical rooms opening out to a common open corridor, and a central and side wooden staircase leading up to the first and second floor landings. Our impression changed once we entered the lobby. The receptionist was friendly and efficient and completed all the formalities of check-in quickly. There was an elevator to take us up to our first floor room. We let ourselves in with a digital door key.

The room was well furnished with two queen sized beds with bedside lamps, a sofa with a leg rest, flat screen TV sitting on a large cabinet of drawers, a microwave, fridge, coffee maker, a coffee table, and a wardrobe closet. The bathroom had a tub, hair dryer, clean towels, bath mat and all the toiletries.

The best part was the sit-out balcony overlooking the harbour with a great ocean view. With the sea-plane base nearby we could see the planes landing or taking off while sitting on our bed. Next morning we witnessed a beautiful sunrise.

There is a restaurant and bar attached to the hotel, which served good American dishes and fast food. The place is also just about a kilometer from downtown and we could walk down to the cafes and restaurants in town. However it is about 5 km away from the ferry terminal and inconvenient if you don’t have your own vehicle.

We enjoyed our stay in Glen Lyon and would like to do a weekend visit again.
