Blue Marlin Inn - Port Alberni

I decided to spend my saturday nights here after rack and rally had their liquor license taken away, and at first, they treated me with respect when i told them (rather teary-eyed) how i was discriminated against at fx niteclub just because i got sad that nobody wanted to take me home because of my visible autism, but apparently, that was just an act, because just a few short weeks later, the staff began treating me like a criminal just because i was upset about being stranded across town with little to no cab service a few weeks prior in addition to the problem i've just mentioned. ableist staff, do not go here. i'd give zero stars if i could.

Thursday Jam night..great fun! Good music, service was excellent, food was delicious with good portions and nice presentation. Loved the dancers, musicians and vibe!

We really enjoy visiting the bar at the Blue Marlin. Super friendly and welcoming people, good draft, and the food is REALLY good, with VERY generous portions! We haven't had occasion to stay in the rooms, but if the effort made by the staff in the bar and kitchen is any indicator, I'm sure they're a good bet, and we did read that they were recently updated. Certainly a hidden gem, in our opinion! Service: 5

Nice old hotel that's had a decent upgrade however never finished. In the bathroom the shower needs silicone, water actually runs out the corners and across the bathroom floor. No fan in bathroom aswell. Could be cute if they finished it. Check out at 9 do to Covid to allow extra cleaning, okay but what about the hair in the corners and coffee rings on the dresser state's other wise. Very nice lady checked us in. Rooms: 2
