This was THE cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed in!! From the outside grounds, to the front desk and of course the room. So nice to see owners and staff take pride in their property; made our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. We had a queen room which had a small kitchen area with coffee maker and amenities, microwave, and other kitchen items. Small table and two chairs. Bed was comfortable as were the pillows. The bathroom was on the smaller side but not being big people it worked well for us. The towels were amazingly soft and bath towels were large. Good liquid soap/gel, lotion and shampoo. Place was decorated nicely. Very close to the ferry and short drive to downtown. We would definitely recommend this hotel!!

This is not a five star property as its projected at best a 3 star rated motel. The staff were very helpful.

8/10 Very good

The property is for sure dated, but mostly clean, staff were friendly. The only not clean thing i noticed was dust in places like the front of cabinets, but a busy summer is just ending, ive worked jobs like these so I get it. Overall my experience was good. Just to note there is no AC, this was fine for my stay, they had opened windows when i booked so it was fairly cool.

Loved our two night stay at this hotel! Friendly, helpful staff and an exceptionally clean room. Across from the motel is a boardwalk along the ocean channel. We strolled and enjoyed the boats and watched the seals. Will definitely stay again!

We booked a cottage, it was very clean. And provided full set of utensils. The rooms are very cozy. We had a wonderful day staying there. I definitely will consider this place again for my next visits Nanaimo.😊

Verified review

6/10 Good

This was a very convenient stay close to the ferry terminal for our early morning ferry. While the room was scrupulously clean, and the amenities were very good in that there were good soaps, nice towels, etc. the one major drawback was that the room was barely bigger than the bed. Had it been just that little bit bigger it would’ve gotten five stars all across the board.

Note that the property is pretty old, so you will sleep in smells of mold/old wood/old sewage system etc for the night. Not too strong tho, tolerable considering the price and location. Otherwise the place was fine. Spacious room, helpful and friendly staff, 3 min drive away from Departure Bay, nice Harbour view, quiet, etc.
