Best Western Dorchester Hotel, hotel in Nanaimo

This downtown Nanaimo hotel overlooks the Inner Harbor and is across the street from the Seaplane Terminal. The hotel offers free WiFi and free parking.

Cute room, shower was the bomb! Staff was absolutely amazing. Chris caught a man breaking into my side bags on my bike and retrieved some of my belongings. He reported it to the police and covered my room. I am grateful for the act of him trying to get all my possessions back. Great staff, cute rooms. Unfortunately the homelessness was the issue not the hotel.

This was a great little boutique hotel! The staff was friendly and the space was clean and quiet. I would come back for sure when visiting Nanaimo. The location was perfect for us and free parking was a bonus. We felt safe here too.

    I live near Nanaimo. Why would one come to Nanaimo?

    I live near Nanaimo. Why would one come to Nanaimo? We do for the shopping. Maybe to the inner harbour and walk the boardwalk, have lunch, go whale watching or take a scenic float plane ride. More likely Nanaimo is just a starting point to visiting elsewhere on the island. The island is mainly about the outdoors.

    Nanaimo is a great city.

    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!

    Great location right by the ocean and in close proximity to many shops, cafes, historic sites, etc. The rooms facing the harbour give you scenic views. The restaurants inside the hotel are convenient and have delicious food. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly and willing to help.
