Guest Reviews
- jason (10/5): -
- Judy (1/5): We canceled our stay after observing the room. We just couldn’t stay in a place that we didn’t feel safe or comfortable. - The pictures were misleading. There was a bad smell to the room when we first walked in. Definitely needs an update. The beds clearly had a sag to them. And the area did not appear to be safe.
- Mya-ko (10/5): We will be back! - Very clean room, it’s compact but is charming and has everything you need for a comfy stay. Nothing
- Viktoriia (8/5): -
- Sharan (8/5): Very good close to ferries - Clean
Well renovated , good amenities eg shampoo, hand soap etc No air conditioning and the outside walkways and stairs could use a good spring cleaning with a power washer
- Michelle (6/5): Good stopover to get on ferry - Good location 2 minutes to ferry terminal Old, cramped and no trays in oven to cook
- Christopher (10/5): -
- Russ (7/5): -
- William (9/5): -
- Garry (8/5): Nice and comfortable stay in Nanaimo - The room we had was comfortable, clean and met our needs. It had a wonderful old style motel feel that sat well with the fishing village vide of Nanaimo. We wandered around Nanaimo in the early evening and the location of the motel gave easy access to the waterfront and shops. Our only concern was that the room was on the upper level and we needed to carry our bags up the steps. For us at our stage of life this was not a problem but may need to be considered by some.

- Amber (8/5): -
- Melanie (10/5): -
- Brenda (9/5): - Close to ocean decent size rooms with kitchenette,,good price friendly staff
- Griffiths (1/5): we did not stay there I was told my reservation was canceled so we made reservations at another hote - we arrived there and found a room we were supposed to be staying in was flooded and our reservation was canceled we were told I told the lady to cancel my reservation for the next day as well and she did not so we had another hotel and I am not paying for this one nothing

- Sun (8/5): -
- Dina (6/5): -
- Jaylene (10/5): -
- Victor (10/5): - Perfect location nearby Departure Bay ferry terminal. Ideal if you have a car, plenty of parking spots. Peaceful and clean.
- Cinocco (8/5): Lovely, homey, waterfront spot, close to the ferr. - Felt like being in someone's home. You can tell it was owned locally until recently.
- David (8/5): Just the right size of room and the right amenities in a convenient location for an excellent price! - Excellent location, fairly close to downtown, good kitchen facilities with a microwave, fridge, and dishes, free parking, across from walking paths, quiet, excellent value! The room was just the right size. The policies in the binder in each room did not match the actual policy. For example, the policy on how often housekeeping cleans the room and how to request housekeeping is not available upon request by putting the clean room sign on the doorknob, but instead is after the 1st and 5th nights of stay.
- Alexandra (8/5): - Ich war in Raum 202 (ist nen App)und da ich spät gebucht habe, war das Zimmer sehr günstig. Der normale Preis ist sicher sehr überzogen, denn alles ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und nur überstrichen. Geht bei manchen Dingen gut und bei anderen eben nicht. Aber um nur zu essen und zu schlafen ganz ausreichend und sauber. Der reguläre Preis ist ein no go. Keine Relation zu dem was man bekommt
- Roulin (9/5): -
- Brenda (7/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): - Beautiful to walk Updated facility accommodations needed
- Swetlana (8/5): - Our stay was good. We had an upgrade from a room to a whole cottage which we were very grateful for. Daniel who made it happen was friendly and informative. Baking paper and tin foil would be a good addition in the kitchen.
- Anna Hall (10/5): - I like having the door to the outside and it was clean.
- Connie (9/5): -
- Eugene (7/5): -
- Tipton (5/5): Overall, it was ok. It was a warm, budget friendly, dry place to stay. - We just needed a cost effective place to stay with a kitchette and it fit the budget. Overall, it could have been cleaner. The pullout couch sheets were dirty. Proximity to family activities wasn't as close as we'd like.
- Laura (9/5): Happy with the room number I got, would definitely stay again. - The staff were polite and helpful. I am disabled and
I needed a place to put my luggage before the check in time. They were able to store it until the room was ready. Which was waiting in my room when I came back.
The room was safe enough for me to walk and still have walls to touch incase I lost my balance.
Kettle, coffee maker, microwave and iron available to use in the room as well as a fridge.
Designated smoking area was covered and away from the building with a bench. (Super helpful)
Close enough to the ferry to walk to and from. (Driving or walking)
Close to 2 strip malls for fast food and a grocery store. (Driving or walking)
Will be staying there during my next time in Nanaimo. Better dusting on the ceiling fan
Cleaning of areas you might not notice. (Corners and along edges)
Used to be a cleaner and noticed a couple of things that could have been cleaned for an extra, "Yeah we even made sure this was clean!"
Also being unable to put the kettle under the tap in the sink. (Easily solved by using a cup or using the pot from the coffee maker)
Really a whole lot of nothing to complain about.
- Thomas (10/5): Unexpected home away from home :) thank you - Very comfortable set up and friendly staff. I wasn’t planning a stay but found it to be so comfortable I extended my u and landed stay :) There is nothing to dislike… great view, atmosphere and everything you need in your room.
- Thomas (10/5): I extended the stay as I had more business but I would have anyways! - I arrived pretty stressed.. I was in my room in no time and settled without delay. Very grateful for the calm. I can not complain about anything here. I found it more comfortable than my “usual” go too’s
- Spiridon (10/5): Perfect location for a business trip - Very friendly staff 👏
- Carly (10/5): Thanks Daniel! - We arrived early, before check-in, and Daniel went above and beyond to accommodate us. The room we had was very spacious and comfortable. It was just what we needed. Thanks so much, Daniel!
- Oleksii (10/5): - We had a great experience with the administrator. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. She answered all our questions and provided excellent assistance. We truly appreciate her help.
- Sebastian (10/5): -
- Carole (6/5): -
- Alexander (8/5): -
- Tim (6/5): Cleaning forgotten - The room was smaller than expected, but it was clean on the first night. My roone was not cleaned the second day or the bed made!
- Josh (10/5): -
- Hunter (7/5): - Staff were friendly, the room was clean and had everything I needed.
- Christopher (6/5): - Room was huge, bed was super comfortable I went to check in at 6pm and the room wasn’t ready, they offered me a smaller room
- Champion (8/5): -
- James (10/5): -
- James (10/5): - The employees are amazing, absolutely amazing. Was greeted well and was very helpful. It had a nostalgic feel to it and super comfortable.
- André (4/5): Décevant et frustrant. - Nous avons effectué notre réservation plus d'un mois à l'avance pour 1 nuit dans le type de chambre : Seaview One-Bedroom king Suite. Nous sommes arrivés à 16h pour l'enregistrement et l'établissement avait donné notre chambre à un autre client. Après presque 1h de discussion avec l'employée, nous avons finalement eu une chambre moins spacieuse avec 2 lits doubles et pas avec la vue souhaitée.
- Moose (9/5): Anchors away for a lovely stay. You won't regret the time-o, you spend at this inn in Nanaimo! - I liked that the room was just the right size for one person, with parking right outside my door. It was clean, had good amenities and the inn is close to many restaurants and other attractions. Good value for the money. The room might have been too small for 2 guests staying longer than one night. The parking lot is pretty tight, so it might be a little harder to find a spot during the busiest times of the year.
- Champion (10/5): - The property is located close to the Departure Bay ferrie terminal and close to a Irish Pub, definitely would stay again
- Julia (3/5): - Reception was good It smelled verrry very bad in the room and was all greasy on the counters.
- Heather (1/5): Great place until I found bed bugs - Soaker tub I found bed bugs in my room the morning after my stay and the staff didn't know how to deal with it. They only apologized briefly, I don't think the front desk person understood how big of a deal it was. I had to throw out or sanitize all of my things to make sure I didn't bring them home.
- Dennis (9/5): -
- Robert (9/5): - It was clean and dry on a very wet night. I was surprised that there was a kitchen with stove and dishes, and very well-set-up. Although the bed was just a double, it was still quite comfortable.
And there were two beds available.
I think this is the first time I've seen an actual emergency kit with band-aids, flashlight tsunami info. Etc. Well done! Parking would be challenging if there were more people.
- Slim (8/5): My sincere thanks to Daniel from the Front Office for his outstanding professionalism and respectful attitude. He waited -
- Coreen (7/5): -
- Slim (9/5): -
- Tannis (8/5): Just what I was looking for. - Independently owned. An older style of accommodation, but very comfy bed, soft sheets, good pillows, etc, simple but nice, refreshed decor. Homey. They really make an effort. Small kitchenette. Tiny bathroom!
- Van Dung (1/5): Phòng quá nhỏ và hôi ! -
- MD Samsul (4/5): Bad customer sevice - I like the decoration of the room. Everything was clean. Parking was available The counter staff was a liar ( Indian guy). I called him to ask if I could check in early between 1 and 2 pm, and he said yes, I can check in. But when I arrived at 1.30 pm, he denied that he could say something like that.
BAD customer service.
- Laura (10/5): Perfect! - Daniel was the best host. We were upgraded to the cottage (house), and it was beautiful! We decided to book a second night. Most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, clean, quiet and nicely decorated. Would recommend staying here to anyone coming to Nanaimo! No complaints.
- victor (10/5): Good night staff - They gave me a complimentary upgrade it was amazing the guy at night was so polite. And the place is so well care. I will stay again there. Even from the inconvenient. I asked for a late check out, and in the morning they called me that there was no notes for a late check out. And that I need it to leave, this guy was rude, saying that I need it to leave now Beacuse no one approved. But I had it on my messages on booking that was approved.
- Susan (3/5): Very uncomfortable, poor quality room, I would not stay again. - Location good, near ferry terminal The carpet was wet right in front of the bathroom. The desk man came and put down a plastic garbage bag and towels, but it was hard to get into the bathroom. He said that they were booked fully so I was unable to get another room. The room was cold and I was unable to adjust the heat.
- Anita (10/5): Will be back! - Very comfortable beds and clean. Have stayed here before
- Melanie (7/5): -
- Derek (10/5): -
- Maraldo (8/5): -

- Braydon (6/5): - Rooms were a good size and the location was great The towels were dirty on arrival, and for a portion of one of our days we had no running water at all and the staff was not helpful
- Ian (8/5): -
- Jonathan (10/5): Really great value! Highly recommend - Great value, clean, spacious For this price, no complaints at all
- Angela (10/5): Would not hesitate to stay here again !! Perfect location for catching an early ferry - Spotless room, the towels were four star and the beds were so comfortable with exception sheets and bedding..once again four star! Nothing, all perfect

- LiseAnn (9/5): -
- Severyn (7/5): Clean comfortable accommodation for great value - Staff were exceptional, facilities very basic but clean and comfortable 2nd floor with luggage
- Dennis (8/5): -
- Richard (9/5): - Exceptional sized suite with off road parking as a bonus. The staff were very friendly and kind enough to store our luggage safely for half a day before we checked in. Good base to get to and from the town and the ferry terminal. Probably nothing could be done about this but a lift up the stairs with heavy luggage wouldn't go amiss!
- Thomas (8/5): - L'appartement était propre et confortable. Il y avait tous les équipements nécessaires. Un peu loin à pied du centre ville mais très pratique si vous souhaitez prendre le ferry.
- Tyler (8/5): -
- Aksiporn (10/5): Lovely stay! - Walking distance from the ferry terminal. The room is spacious, and the bed is very comfortable. Easy and friendly check-in :)
- Gordon (7/5): -
- Sascha (8/5): -
- Shelley (8/5): Very comfortable - The beds are very comfortable. I slept on the pull out sofa bed and can't believe how comfortable it was. The location was very nice. Right across from the water
- Jessica (6/5): - Friendly staff, nice location Bed was very uncomfortable, not all rooms have a fully equipped kitchen
- Daniel (10/5): Good place to rest, clean and accommodating and pleasant staff - Location is good. And not too loud It’s simple but good.
- Ofry (4/5): - The rooms are big and comfortable It smelled bad around there, there was constant noise at night, any one at any floor who walks at night wakes you up, the water didnt work for some time and there were shouting at night that woke us up.
- Phil (5/5): Meh - Bathtubs poor condition , I forgot my nice vest there, owner said he would follow up with me, he didn’t
