Appreciated that they keep a room for people travelling with pets.
Very clean. Comfy bed.
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.
We had an amazing stay at Antheas place. Anthea was really nice and thougtful. She gave us good recommendations for our visit in Nanaimo. In the morning she made us a delicious breakfast with fresh eggs from her own chicken. Also her two little dogs and her cat are so cute.
The room was really nice and clean. We had our own nice bathroom. The waterfront was only a 5 minute walk away.
10 out of 10 for this stay. We can definitely recommend a stay here.
I also asked for a quiet room. This did not happen. Had to ask for that. The room they put me in which was not what I paid for was an old room that was; Dirty, freezing ( I had to sleep in my sweat clothes), didn’t have the things it said it was to have not did the hotel have the things it said in the write up. When I tried to go over this when checking out the clerk just ignored me and started to do something else.
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 room has a kitchenet. It was spacious enough and the bed was comfortable. The location was far from Nanaimo downtown (25 mins drive approx) but walmart, Save On Foods etc. were on a 5 mins drive and Real Canadian Store was just across the street.
Overall, a nice place to stay.
The prices are great for what you get. I've stayed here several times before and the staff are super friendly and down to earth. The rooms have been renovated and are comfortable and very clean. This is where I like to stay when I'm visiting Nanaimo.
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.
Everyone there was amazing and super helpful. The location is walking distance to the Harbour, which was fantastic. The view was amazing and the hotel was clean, comfy & super affordable. We would definitely stay there again 🙂
Immaculate kitchen and common rooms. Very friendly and warm and welcoming people who were in residence there. Really exceeded my expectations all around and is so incredibly central to anything downtown Nanaimo has to offer.
Had a beautiful upscale room that we had booked in advance, which fully lived up to our expectations. Staff were very courteous, helpful and showed real pride in their hotel.
