This hotel room was intended to be used for a quick overnight stay in Nanaimo while I was visiting friends. When I checked into my room I was shocked to find that the bathroom sink and floor were overflowing with sewage.

My husband and I have stayed here three times in the past month due to real estate business. Janet and Phillip at the front desk could not have been kinder, friendlier, or more helpful, recommending restaurants, where to get a newspaper, and even mailing back a left-behind pillow. Janet even looked at real estate properties online with us and remembered... More

The hotel is in a good location, very close to the ferry terminal and easy to find etc…Receptionist was pleasant and polite.
