Located in Vancouver’s Harbor City, The Spot offers free WiFi and is within walking distance to a coin-operated launderette. This property is a 0.9 mi drive from Nanaimo city center.
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.

The ocean was the best part as there are many places to visit and the views are awesome. People were very friendly everywhere I went. The city is kept quite clean. Parks are nicely attended. Overall visit was very pleasant. Easy to get around having a vehicle as everything is very spread out. Piper's Cove and the harbor downtown were favorite.
Very comfortable stay, nice room with a view of the harbour etc. The girl on reception was really lovely and very helpful.
Nanaimo, I'm sorry to say is not a very inspiring place, I suggest many were like us and just spending the night before or after a ferry crossing. However the BW Dorchester do their best to make things special and 'The View' restaurant is very good and there also a burger bar for something less formal.
All round very good!
Location was perfect. Right downtown and across the street from the harbour.
I very quickly grew confidence in staff happily altering my requests, with issues as my arrival time changing due to flight disruptions.
All staff from front desk to housekeeping were so accommodating, friendly, and eager to assist. Best stay ever!
- Friendly receptionnist who welcomed me better than I could ever expected
- The size of the room was perfect along with equipment and the quality of the beds
- Hotel located 15 minutes walking from downtown and waterfront
- Some nice restaurants around the Motel (not talking about Mc Donalds :) )
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.
Room was clean and comfortable. Great hot shower and good value with breakfast included. Conveniently located and it is close to the Ferry terminal and walking distance to Nanaimo Waterfront.
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 .
Loved the views in the morning and quietness from the street. The staff at the continental breakfast worked incredibly hard and it was very enjoyable. Very pet friendly location.
