They let us drop our bags off earlier in the day and put them in storage which was very helpful and then delivered them to the room in the evening.

Nicely finished, very clean and fresh. Seems to have recently been refinished and was very tastefully done. Friendly staff, but very limited. If you’re looking for a great place to sleep and get a meal or a drink at a very reasonable rate, I’d definitely recommended it, but I would not suggest staying here if you looking for concierge services or other amenities. It was exactly what I was looking for, would have liked to have stayed longer and spent time at the pub!

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!

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.

Lots of parking available in Nanaimo downtown, ( dont park on yellow band or else you get ticket) and walk around harbor and see sea plane takes off and landing. lots of trails to explore. you can catch fish on the shore.
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.
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!!!
the reception stayed open an extra 30 minutes because we were running late for check in which was really appreciated after a long drive in some heavy rain that put us behind. the room was spacious and I had the best nights sleep I had had yet in my 2 weeks of being in Canada, milk portions instead of dried milk was a treat. far better
thanks so much
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.
The property is well located if you are travelling to/from the ferry in Nanaimo. There is plenty of parking outside the property and a convenient diner style restaurant next door. The rooms are spacious and facilities see ok. The hotel staff are really pleasant
The unit with spotless, new, well laid out. It was very secure with the codes for a front door and hotel room door. The shower was to die for. This hotel by far exceeded my expectations based on the inexpensive price. The reception staff was very pleasant.
The location is pretty convenient to the downtown area, and it's about C$20 cheaper than 2* hotels with private rooms. The shared kitchen is nice for camaraderie but the stoves are in poor repair and the equipment (knives etc.) is crap.
The location and the ambiance of the hotel was the best part. The breakfast was not upto the mark...but I won't complain much about it as it was not bad...just not up to the mark compared to the other facilities of this property.
Everyone there was amazing and super helpful. The location is walking distance to the Harbour, which was fantastic. The view was amazing and the hotel was clean, comfy & super affordable. We would definitely stay there again 🙂
One of the best apartments we ever stayed at. Large, nice furnishings, all you need is there. It's very close to the waterfront, perfect for disabled people, there is an elevator opening straight into the living room.
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.
I loved that they have a hotel dog. The lady was very friendly at the front desk too. If the ferry ever gets canceled and I’m stuck in Nanaimo again , I will definitely stay there again .
Not too far from down town nanimo , about a 12 min walk to the harbour which was great for us as we are walkers ! This hotel is new , stylish and very clean ! Staff was very friendly
We really liked the view of the harbour and how close this facility is to walk around the heritage downtown. Clean linen and well equipped bathroom were enjoyable as well.
