Everything that you could want was provided by the host.

Quality Inn is located in Nanaimo, within 12 km of Wildplay Element Park and 3.3 km of Petroglyph Park. The property is around 700 metres from Nanaimo Museum, 2 km from Nanaimo Bastion and 2.1 km from Newcastle Island Marine Park. The inn provides a sun terrace, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available.

Exactly what we were looking for. A nice, clean, comfortable room located near downtown and the harbor for a reasonable price with parking. A few semi-related tips. Neck Point Park is about 15-20 mins away with incredible views of the ocean and potential to spot marine life (we just missed a pod of orcas). Also the Save on Food in the Nanaimo suburb was the best grocery store we visited in the island/Vancouver/Calgary if you are cooking your own meals.

    The accomodation is beautiful, clean, spacious with windows allowing light and fresh air. Didnt feel like a basement. Inside provided everything that we needed including kitchen, kettle, coffee machine etc. The beautiful quiet location and perfect host made our stay perfect. Having access to laundry facilities was an added bonus. Ample easy parking.

    I enjoyed our morning chat with Darlene (host) during breakfast. The breakfast was delicious! The house is on a quiet street. The room was cozy and very quiet. Comfortable bed. Little vases with dahlias in the bedroom and the bathroom were a nice touch. I loved the view from the dining room window of the ocean and a busy bird feeder.
