Nice and casual place to stop in for a beer and snack, patrons were friendly.We got the nachos they were great lots of toppings! They had beers on tap from "twin city Brewing" they were good though a very small drink menu;Not much selection.Didn't find the server friendly, she was in a rush to leave our table rather than answer questions or offer recommendations.

We went to Pastimes the other night for the first time. We were helped by Tiesha (sp?) who was an amazing waitress!!! She was patient and so friendly but not intrusive. The food which came so so quickly, was outstanding. The menu was wonderful and the food even better. So often when we go out the food ends up being disappointing but not this night!!!! We absolutely will be going back and going back!!!

Awesome TV's keno, pull tabs, covered entrance, hotel, swimming pool ( guests only) dining room. Several conference roomsWheelchair accessibility: Yes
We booked the hotel for the day of the wedding, forgetting that we would need a place to get ready for the 2:30 pm wedding after travelling to Port Alberni. I reached out to the hotel to request an early check-in....they were full and check out time is 12 noon. I got put on a list for early check-in. We were delighted to be able to get into the room, unpack and get ready with lots of time to spare. So appreciated....thank you!

The Barclay is one of our favourite places to stay! The AC is always on when we arrive (so grateful for this with the hot weather we have been having) the staff is always super friendly. The cafe is wonderful, the rooms are clean , the beds are comfortable. I do wish the sofa bed had a thicker mattress, but everything else is perfect.

We were very pleased with our stay at Best Western Plus Barclay in Port Alberni. The front desk staff were always friendly and helpful. The housekeeping was fantastic and did a great job freshening up the room. The room itself was spacious and clean, and the beds were comfortable. My son thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor pool. We will definitely stay here again!

Clean rooms, great staff, nice clean pool, hot tub and sauna. Rooms are quite small, but if you’re just there to sleep it’s fine. Close to everything and easy walking to the water and other restaurants nearby.

Beds were very comfortable and the staff was super nice. I was very disappointed there was no laundry and having stayed in over 50 BW with laundry I was taken back. When on a road trip clean clothes are important and no one wants to go to a laundromat after driving all day.
Room was clean well appointed, hotel is central to all dining, enjoyed many breakfasts in the Stamp Restaurant, great staff. Only single detractor was an older lady (staff) at the front desk who had made rude and inappropriate comments, management should consider removing her from engaging with clients directly.

The staff was awesome and very helpful as there was a forest fire that started when we came to Port Alberni and the staff had all of the updates of the fire and maps on how to go on the logging roads as we live in Duncan and had to go that way. It's always nice staying at the Best Western. Thanks to all of the staff, Gina & Barry

We took our motorcycle over to Port Alberni for a day trip from Parksville. Before we could return, the only road in was closed due to a wildfire. As a result we were stranded in Port Alberni indefinitely. Fortunately we were lucky to get a room at the Best Western Plus Barclay. The hotel was clean, quiet, and obviously very well run. The entire staff went over and above expectations to ease a difficult situation for us. The front desk staff in particular was exceptional, even arranging a ride back to Parksville for us and helping us put our motorcycle in storage until we can retrieve it. With your stay, a 20% discount is available for breakfast in the restaurant. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Our room was clean and quiet, very comfortable and included a small fridge and microwave. The TV had a very wide choice of channels - more than any other hotel we have been to - so we had lots of programs available to watch. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone passing through the area.

This is a full service hotel, set a short distance of the main road that passes through Port Alberni. My first encounter with the front desk staff was very friendly and efficient with my Best Western Reward status being acknowledged and the hotel's facilities being explained. There was plenty of parking. My room was large, clean and well equipped. I ate in the hotel's restaurant on one night. There was a good choice of dishes plus friendly and quick service. My meal was tasty and good value with a large portion size. I didn't use the bar - it appeared to be a sports bar - but I understood that the same meals were also served there. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay and reasonable value for money. I'd be very happy to return in the future.
