The room was nice and clean. The "do not disturb" sign was respected as i did not need the room serviced everyday.

Nanaimo was a little city that is spread far apart, but everything you need is 10mins away
The homelessness issue rears its head all around Nanaimo but not as aparant as Vancouver!
A lot of OLD buildings with a lot of CLOSED but there is a bunch of construction, so I am wondering if the city will soon rebuild?

Nanaimo is a cool little city.
Nanaimo is a cool little city. Depending on the goal of your trip renting a vehicle is recommended, since the city is spread out. As well there is much to see in surrounding areas. With the ocean, mountains and forest this community is surrounded by nature and beauty!

We had a great dinner at Firehouse Grill and fantastic coffee at Regards Coffee and the walk along the waterfront was nice but nothing super special, in all honesty it's kind of a dreary, quiet place that isn't very pretty. Maybe it has way more to offer than what meets the eye but I truly wouldn't care to stay there for more than a night passing through.

There was a couple of RATS outside by the pool but they stayed away from people. The hot tub wasn’t working either. But the pool was GLORIOUS and the room was clean to perfection. It was a nice place to sleep in!

I didn't see much of Nanaimo, just Petraglyph Park, before heading to Victoria. This side of Nanaimo was quiet, and I left very early. One great thing about South Nanaimo is its proximity to the Duke Point Ferry - a short drive. Also, the lack of nightlife meant my visit was quiet.
I would recommend visiting Petraglyph Park. It's not easy to find it, you have to be driving on the northbound side, but it's beautiful. I've enjoyed other aspects of Nanaimo in the past, especially the Woodgrove area, and I've found people there very friendly.

Lots of parking available in Nanaimo downtown, ( dont park on yellow band or else you get ticket) and walk around harbor and see sea plane takes off and landing. lots of trails to explore. you can catch fish on the shore.
Great location, in a safer part of town. Very close to the ferry, pretty clean and great value for the money. Keycode entry makes checking in and out a breeze
Recently renovated and it shows! Without knowing what's on the other side of your door(the roadway), you could think you're in a 4 star hotel!
We will definitely choose this motel for our next stay in Nanaimo!
The breakfast was the best I had in my 6 weeks travelling in Canada. The room is very quiet to the back garden with chicken. Anthea is a very friendly host, who tried to help me with everything. The rooms are very nicely decorated. Nanaimo is in a short walking distance.
I liked that they had such clean rooms and friendly staff. the breakfast nook has amazing food and is conveniently located at the hotel. The place itself is located perfectly near downtown Nanaimo and away enough from it to not be so busy.
The house was new with a huge terrace and an amazing ocean view.The hosts Shawn and Lili tried their best to make us feel welcomed and Indeed we felt like home.Thank you Shawn and Lili.If anytime soon in Nanaimo you are the first choice.
The rooms were very modern and clean, with hightech lighting. The staff was very friendly and the hotel was really beautiful. The location was central to the downtown part of Nanaimo and close driving distance to the ocean as well.
One of the best apartments we ever stayed at. Large, nice furnishings, all you need is there. It's very close to the waterfront, perfect for disabled people, there is an elevator opening straight into the living room.
Our room (on the 6th floor) has a great view torwards harbour waterfront. You are able to see beautiful sunrise! The room is quite spacious. The hotel is located near the old town quarter and is very convenient.
I loved everything about it! I was surprised how comfy the beds were! I had just stayed at high end hotel which the beds weren't comfy. Ill be coming back for sure with my family when I visit Nanaimo!
Sid from reseption was most helpful with our special requests. The room was clean and spacious with good harbour view. The Noch restaurant located in the hotel was very good - we had dinner there.
The location worked well for us, about 10-12 minutes from downtown Nanaimo. The suite was new and clean. Beds were new looking but firm. Host was friendly and responded to most questions quickly.
Very welcoming with a cute welcome book for the area, clean and probably one of the comfiest bed I've slept in! Nanaimo is a small town and this was an easy drive to everything.
