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.
When I drove up I was underwhelmed as the building looks a little old school from a distance. I was late checking in, but there were still a few parking spots close to the front door. When I walked in everything was fresh and new, staff were fantastic and the room I was in felt recently renovated. Carpet was new, bed was perfect, room was very clean. Best hotel sleep I've had in a very long time. So quiet in there.
Great location, newly renovated and pet friendly! Reception was so warm and welcoming! She made sure that a hot plate was available so I could cook, and arranged an early check in.
I had a ground level suite which opens up to a patio and fenced back yard that’s enclosed so my dog could hang outside without a worry he’d wander off. Such an excellent value stay!
The view and the beds were awesome . The beds were exactly what I like to sleep on , firm but just enough pillow to put you right to sleep . The view of the Nanaimo Harbor was great . The attached View Restaurant was some of the best food I have had in my travels . Kudos to the chef !
I loved my room so clean and very comfortable. It's was so nice to have a pet friendly place for my dog and they gave me extra blanket for my pup to sleep on. The staff were very friendly, I would recommend this place and the price is very affordable.
Loved my stay.
Room was clean and we had an ocean view. The location of hotel was very close to everything and we didn’t have to use the car, we put the car in the free parking and walked around and enjoyed it. For sure if we have a plan to go to Nanaimo we go the same hotel.
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 🙂
Immaculate kitchen and common rooms. Very friendly and warm and welcoming people who were in residence there. Really exceeded my expectations all around and is so incredibly central to anything downtown Nanaimo has to offer.
Our room (on the 6th floor) has a great view torwards harbour waterfront. You are able to see beautiful sunrise! The room is quite spacious. The hotel is located near the old town quarter and is very convenient.
I loved everything about it! I was surprised how comfy the beds were! I had just stayed at high end hotel which the beds weren't comfy. Ill be coming back for sure with my family when I visit Nanaimo!
The staff were super friendly (the lady at breakfast was especially lovely) - best cheaper hotel we stayed in over 3 weeks having stayed in everything from Fairmont's etc over 3 weeks.
Inexpensive and reasonably ok. It has A/C which most cheap hotels in Nanaimo do not have. Staff were friendly. It was clean but old and starting to get a bit run down.
Best value in Nanaimo. Clean, spacious and well laid out room. Lots of plugs for charging devices. Great budget room within walking distance of downtown.
