    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 surprise of having a bedroom all to myself. Very clean, housekeeping was wonderful. Grateful for the AC and fan in the rooms. Tv and cable worked great. Easy 25 minute walk to downtown with a great view of the water. Restaurant attached to hotel was amazing and the best Pho place with a seaside view is only 15 minutes away.

    There was no breakfast included. The location was close to everything but off the highway, which was nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They even had a dog bowl in our pet friendly room. I would definitely go back there again.

    The hotel was bright, modern and clean and there were great views over the harbour. It was very nice to have two restaurants on the ground floor of the hotel. The free parking was also great.
