    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.

    The ocean was the best part as there are many places to visit and the views are awesome. People were very friendly everywhere I went. The city is kept quite clean. Parks are nicely attended. Overall visit was very pleasant. Easy to get around having a vehicle as everything is very spread out. Piper's Cove and the harbor downtown were favorite.

    I liked that it felt more like an apartment than a hotel. I've been in hotels and hostels a lot lately so it was a welcome change. The parking lot was well lit and it was fairly close to stores and food options, as well as not very far from the Arts District and Ferry Terminal. The shower was very nice and quite large. Felt luxurious after hostel showers in Tofino.

    I was a bit resistant to book a motel at first due to the impression I had from TV shows. But after staying at this hotel, I found it exceeded my expectations. I could feel that the owner must be very detail-oriented and clean. I really enjoyed the stay at Buccaneer Inn. I will come back if I had the chance to come back Nanaimo..

    This is the third or fourth time I have stayed at Harbour Light. It is perfect for an overnight stay. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, there is both a desk and a table in each room, a coffee machine and a fridge. The motel is very convenient for both of the ferries between Nanaimo and the mainland Vancouver area.

    My room was spacious and very clean. Had everything I needed! I was close to the elevator however never heard it. I was pleased with the price and how close to town it was. I would highly recommend this hotel! I did not eat breakfast…but there was fresh coffee in the lobby!

    Location along the waterfront with our waterfront room view. We know the restaurants were not part of the hotel but we ate a both and enjoyed our meals. Proximity to these was a nice bonus. The roof top terrace was also an added bonus.

    It really is on a country road with a small creek behind the large property. The host lives on the other half of the modest duplex. Downtown Nanaimo is a 15-20 minute drive but there is a supermarket and a couple of restaurants closer.

    I liked the accessibility of the hotel which is exactly off the road and it wasn't hard to find at all. The room was huge and had everything we expected in a hotel. I liked how close the restaurant is and the food was great too.

    We liked the location to the downtown - we like the view overlooking the harbour - the room was clean, the beds were comfortable...and we liked that the water was hot as soon as the hot water tap was turned on.

    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.
