Pool and hot tub! Only good things plus Saranne our maid did a sculpture of love swans with towels. To make us feel better for lack of towel holders on no proper drinking cups.She also brought us more hangers with clips to hang towels off. I understand the request and complaints about towel bars goes on deaf ears of owners. Bed was comfortable! New bedding probably because of flood. Elderly lady who checked us out was thorough and professional!

Nanaimo is a great city. Has incredible views of the bay and mountain range. Very friendly people. I happened upon a lovely kitchen store, Maison Cookware & Bakeware, that has an incredible selection of quality kitchenware. I spent some time talking to the owner, Julia House. She was a wealth of information on everything in her store. She said they will soon be opening a tableware store in the same complex. Definitely a stop for every cook!

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.
This place is amazing. A gem in the middle of the city. When you step into the lobby iit’s like stepping into a grand hotel of the past. It is elegant. Very friendly staff. Wonderful restaurant with lixurious ambience . There is also a bar at the facility, which is well known as the whiskey bar in in the area. The rooms are big and comfortable and extremely clean and the price was very reasonable.
The location was fantastic, just across the street from the main boat docks, bastion and quaint downtown. The pace and style of the town was laid back and the locals enjoyed taking the time to stop and chat. The meals served at the popular hotel lounge and main restaurant were very good; but, reserve early, finding a table as a walk-in was difficult.
I was pleasantly surprised by the room, it was spacious, had a beautiful couch and a very comfortable big bed. The bathroom and shower were big and the mini close up mirror was a nice touch. The TV screen was very big as well. I liked the fitness room, it had everything you’d need. Overall a wonderful, modern hotel.
This is a classic style motel. Its beauty is it’s a short walk to the Nanaimo ferry to Vancouver and it’s clean. I found the bed very comfortable, as good as more expensive hotels. Staff is excellent, very friendly. I parked my Motorcycle out front of my room and it was safe all night. Just like the picture shows.
The staff there is really nice and patient. I booked two hotel in Nanaimo. This hotel provides breakfast but another one doesn’t. The best part is that you can go swimming in the lake and then go hot tub after. It’s really nice. Also, they are super friendly to pet. It only cost $20 for a dog to stay 2 nights.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Spot Hotel, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff members who went above and beyond to make my stay memorable.
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 location is pretty convenient to the downtown area, and it's about C$20 cheaper than 2* hotels with private rooms. The shared kitchen is nice for camaraderie but the stoves are in poor repair and the equipment (knives etc.) is crap.
I love this hotel! Love the location and the staff is always the best! Thank you to all of you for excellent customer service. Also the restaurant is always consistent in providing excellent breakfast options. Thank you!
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!
The room was immaculately clean, the hotel was SUPER easy to find, the bed was comfortable, and there was great food nearby. This was our best stay on this trip!
