    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!

    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

    I participated in the Elwood Wylie Memorial Track and Field Meet at the Rotary Bowl for 2 full days. I needed a quiet and comfortable place to stay. The Pub below was quite loud at night but I could still sleep.

    Loved the location with the peaceful lake front room on the ground floor, appreciated the sounds of Canada geese, orioles, owls, doves! Loved the dock and chairs to be able to sit quietly to enjoy! Loved the hot tub and view! Warm cuddly house robes were provided to wear to the hot tub and sit on the patio by our suite. The Breakfast was wonderful and we were grateful to be able to sit on the outdoor patio overlooking the lake and feeling the warm breeze. Hotel was easy to locate and parking is totally accessible.

    I was a bit resistant to book a motel at first due to the impression I had from TV shows. But after staying at this hotel, I found it exceeded my expectations. I could feel that the owner must be very detail-oriented and clean. I really enjoyed the stay at Buccaneer Inn. I will come back if I had the chance to come back Nanaimo..
