Breakfast included in the room rate was pleasant surprise. Also bottled water complimentary from reception. Although located within a business park the location was convenient for exploring both north and south of Nanaimo, and a few restaurants within walking distance.

The service by all the staff members were really great. Specially the ladies who were managing the Breakfast room on Sunday and Monday did an amazing job. Loved the cheese omelette and the sausage patty. I managed to use the Gym as well. There's ample parking so there was no problem finding parking. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were spacious and the kids loved the tv channel options provided.

    This wasn't our first trip to Nanaimo so we did know our way...

    This wasn't our first trip to Nanaimo so we did know our way around most of the city and beyond, but it is always a great place to be. We love the well planned Harbour walkways, many events in the parks, the beach trails. Our favourite beach walks are Piper's Lagoon and Neck Point. There are many good music venues, restaurants, scenic drives and walks. We easily found side roads that were basically parallel to the highway to get to and from downtown. Nanaimo has has a LOT to offer any visitor of any age! Can't wait to return!

    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.

    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!

    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

    We loved our stay at the hotel! The jacuzzi was super hot (in the best way!) and the water felt amazing. Everyone treated us so kindly and everything was super clean. The bed was insanely comfy, like sleeping on a cloud. Also, having a microwave in the room was such a nice surprise — very practical!

    Modern High Rise Hotel, very convenient for central Nanaimo, water-front walks and the ferry terminal. Great Views from our 14th floor balcony. We arrived on the evening ferry, enjoyed a walk along the waterfront and found a great Thai Restaurant on Commercial Street. Perfect for a one-night stay.

    Good location after getting off the last ferry! 24 hour front desk, older building but updated nicely. Great for work trips, but I'd take the family there too. Coffee was pretty good, with the free continental breakfast! Always really friendly staff, best value in Nanaimo that I've found.

    "This was the best all-inclusive vacation — and even more! If I could, I’d give it 10 stars. The hosts are warm, sincere, and everything is top-notch. To be honest, the price is too low for such luxury, with everything included and breathtaking views. Thank you sincerely!"
