Repeat customer, clean and quaint motel

This is a quaint little motel, clean, quiet. We have stayed there 3 years in a row. We only sleep there and are out all day and it’s perfect for that. Close to the harbour front.

Jamie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Will repeat our stay when next in Nanaimo

Excellent value for the cost. Very clean and had a working fridge with internal freezer-also working, microwave, and Kerrigan machine. The internal fan/air conditioning unit is remote controlled and works well. High quality sheets and a comfortable bed were greatly appreciated. Clean towels and bathroom with over the door hooks in an adequate number were a bonus. À surge protector power strip attached to the wall between the beds was a much appreciated feature. It is an older motel and well maintained.
Ruth, 1-night trip

It was a simple but good room for the price. We appreciated the fridge and microwave. It was much cheaper than other comparable motels/hotels in the area. Convenient location. Good job!
