We rented two rooms for two nights. It smelled absolutely unbelievable when we walked into the lobby and the hallways were even worse! The ad we had booked through advertised a free "continental breakfast", but this was not honoured! Instead we were herded down to the restaurant attached to the hotel and given a coupon for $4.50 for the children... More

This is not a glamorous 5 star hotel. If you go there knowing that - and are realistic about your expectations - then this hotel does the job. It appears to be an old hotel, and some of the rooms could use an overhaul. The bathrooms especially. But I've always had comfortable sleeps, had tremendous service, and the room rate... More

Paper thin sheets, lumpy pillows, mold on grout in bathroom, and bugs. I went to plug in my cellphone charger and the wall socket was moving side to side like it was loose, and one socket had a splitter in it with six things plugged into it. Very unsafe. Not only that my dad got sick from the complimentary breakfast.... More

"Had" to stay here for 1 night as Nanaimo seemed to be completey sold out that night due to an upcoming event. Got the, probably, last or "spare" room of the hotel being located at the lower level at the very end facing directly some stairs (so only could use artificial light). As walls are paper thin, you can hear... More

Chose this hotel for same reason as last time - close to sea walk and harbour and reasonably priced. Stayed for 2 nights. The bathroom looked as if it was upgraded compared to previous trip and the bed was comfortable. We didn't use the outdoor pool but a number of people were enjoying it. More

Definitely aging, however the price reflected that. We were looking for a place to sleep, near an event we were attending, so it was fine. More

We stayed at this HoJo due to its reasonable price. What we didn't know was there was a MMa event and Saturdays are "party nights" according to the front desk clerk at 6:30am as we checked out on the way to the airport!! The daytime partying is /was not a issue. The partying that began at 11:30 at night and... More

Stayed at the HoJo last June with a minor softball team. This hotel is NOT appropriate for any children or young adults! While the rooms wer acceptable, the other guests were not. There were drunks wandering the halls and trying to open teh doors of rooms belonging to our group. The smell of marijuana coming from several rooms was overpowering.... More

I checked the tripadvisor reviews after I made my reservations and I was a little worried, but it was fine. No, it wasn't a deluxe stay that's for sure, but for $89/night I wasn't expecting it to be a 5-star property. I think it was good value for the money. The room was clean,the bed was pretty comfortable and everything... More
