Sadly, this beautiful hotel is now closed! Kathie and Jim worked so hard to make it the nicest place to stay in Alert Bay and it was until June of 2009. After June, David Rand of Jaylyn Investments took over as co-manager with a man named Rick as his henchman; they ran her in to the ground. Alert Bay desperately... More

We recently stayed here during a rainy strech. Given the bad weather, we picked a great place to stay. Our room was large, nicely decorated and had a fireplace and dvd player with a big selection of dvds downstairs. As stated, our room was spacious and had a fridge, small patio and bathroom with large bathtub. There is a continental... More

I have stayed at the Nimpkish both before and after the recent renovation and the improvements are phenominal. Before it was a period hotel sadly in need of a cash injection.

The Nimpkish Hotel is a gem of a place. It is located right on the water, recently renovated by owners Kathie and Jim. We were a group of 10 women and our rooms were wonderful. They have used quality fixtures, trims, top grade linens, very comfortable beds, flat screen TV's with DVD players, larger refrigerators than are usually found in... More

We loved the restored Nimpkish. One of the few old-style northwest coast hotels still standing, dating back to 1920, it's been lovingly restored by its new owners, with all the amenities. Alert Bay is a fascinating place to visit for its rich culture and history: the U'Mista museum -- one of Canada's best museums of Indian art -- and gift... More
