The room was very nice! We were worried that it would be run-down like the rest of the hotel but it seemed to be newly renovated and was actually well appointed. We were impressed :)

The 2 bedroom suite was well appointed with all the necessities including complimentary water & pop. Coffee & coffee mate was provided and there was an assortment of condiments. We picked up milk as we prefer it to coffee mate. The towels and linens were of good quality, everything was clean, tidy & organized. Robes & slippers were provided as an added touch. It was equipped with all the necessary appliances including an iron, ironing board & steamer. We didn’t cook or do laundry there so cannot comment on that, but those amenities were available.

    The Inner Harbor was beautiful.

    The Inner Harbor was beautiful. The Snowbirds did a show when I was there. The harbor was lively and fun. The hiking in the area was awesome. Nanaimo is easy to navigate with a car. Great halfway stop between Victoria and Tofino.

    Nice town. Good things to do in the area. Cowichen River float, Parksville mini golf, cycling the adjacent islands. Druggies and street people/beggars. Sirens all night. Car alarms. Shouting at night. Traffic even during the week at off peak hours.

    I l lived in Nanaimo for 20 years and was thier for business reasons. The motel had no facilities to make coffee or tea or any drawers to put clothes in. Management even locked me out of my room even though it was pre payed. Management needs to have training in work properly for customers.

    Jaw-droppingly beautiful Newcastle Island Park right there!

    Jaw-droppingly beautiful Newcastle Island Park right there! Excellent innovative fine dining/cocktails and wine at Mélange. Amazing breakfast at Gabrielle’s Cafe. Fun coffee, drinks and eats at The Vault, which has a rather mesmerizing ambience. We stayed at the Dorchester Best Western. It is worth it to get a harbour facing room. The islands and water there are spectacular to wake up to. Be sure to spend time exploring along Chapel and Church streets area - the old part of town. It is small but really interesting. Nanaimo is also an excellent hub for day trips.

    Nanaimo is the little city that could! adorable city centre (small) and kind people. But best of all, it is a great lift-off point to see the incredible wonders of Vancouver Island if you don't want to camp... hikes, waterfalls, watersports... all at your finger tips

    Exceptional Service. The reception staff went beyond our expectations to ensure our requests were met and were very pleasant people, as were all staff that we encountered in the hotel . The view is absolutely amazing...fantastic location, best in Nanaimo. The in-house restaurant opens early and has a varied menu to suite the needs of various diets. I highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Nanaimo; you will be treated well and will appreciate the location etc.
