    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.

    What went well? The 4 day visit from start to finish far exceeded my expectations. Darlene the owner/hostess is a wonderful person. She cooked me incredible breakfasts every morning and even sat chatting with me for a couple of hours each morning. The breakfasts were incredible and far better than eating in a restaurant. The B&B was very comfortable and made me feel right a home. Definitely the place to stay in Nanaimo, BC!!!

    I really liked the location. It is right off of the main road that connects you to all the shopping services that Nanaimo has to offer. Everything was approximately a 15 minute drive from the hotel, which was great for remembering how to get back at the end of the day.

    I loved my room so clean and very comfortable. It's was so nice to have a pet friendly place for my dog and they gave me extra blanket for my pup to sleep on. The staff were very friendly, I would recommend this place and the price is very affordable. Loved my 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.

    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.

    It is one of few hotels in Nanaimo that had a pool. That was the big draw.
