I got in late after 12 hour travel day and was just trying to get some sleep. Didn’t complain due to being exhausted and was not refunded as I didn’t complain the night before cause I was trying to get some sleep and giving them the benefit of the doubt with burnt out light and ripped curtain. Until the next morning I saw blood and the room next to me kept me up.They offered 25$ discount refund only. Not impressed

Pros: Liked that the pool and hot tub were available for use. Onsite restaurant was handy, Enjoyed the pet-friendly accomodations.

Cons: There was garbage on our counter upon check in. Didn't get any sleep, the people above us were walking around their room all night till about 6 am, very loud footsteps.

Pros: The room was spotlessly clean and had a hairdryer and cable TV with lots of channels. There was a Ricky's Restaurant attached to the hotel and a Continental Breakfast was offered in the morning.

Cons: As I mentioned previously I found that the Continental Breakfast didn't offer a lot of choices. I would like to see more fruit choices and either a couple or so bread choices ( including healthier organic breads) and or bagels.

Nice pool and hot tub. Glad to see them open during covid. Room was comfortable, TV large and plenty of channels.

Pros: great value for your money, friendly staff, Ricki's restaurant excellent

Pros: Comfy Beds and pillows

Cons: Fridge dirty, Madi service poor Included breakfast was a joke. As a single staff member was pleasant and hard-working, but overworked and run into the ground. Way understaffed. Ran out of food. Too crowded to move in the Breakfast room. Breakfast hours too short should be till 10:30

Pros: Near downtown.

Cons: Our room was in the basement so it was rather dark. Needs more electrical plugs.

Pros: clean quiet

Cons: nothing that I can recall

Pros: I booked a 1 night at booking.com few hrs later the motel called and said no room available for the price that I want. She instead gave me the family room for the same price because I have kids. Owner was very nice n helpful.

Cons: Room smells bad, the heater board was very dirty. Hair everywhere towels, tub, washroom floor n d blankets. Bed was uncomfortable, pillow stinks.

Pros: The location is excellent however even on the forest side, the traffic was a bit loud. The owners were amazing: polite, friendly and very helpful. Yen (sp?) also had a lovely collection of beaded earrings for sale in the office. Super nice people.

Cons: This has nothing to do with the hotel but the nearest mall was nearly shut down due to unfounded fears about Covid 19 and the three restaurants were all drive through only. This turned out to be a complete waste of time for us and we were unable to have a decent breakfast that morning. We did appreciate the nearness of the mall. It's shocking that Nanaimo doesn't realise there is nothing to fear from a flu.

Pros: Amazing family business. Very welcoming and friendly. I am coming back this weekend it was so nice. Thank you very much for the amazing weekend.

Cons: Felt like I was home. Very comfortable and relaxing.

Pros: Woke up at 12:30am at night to have been bitten over 12 times by bed bugs. I witnessed at least 8 bed bugs around the bed. Called reception who offered me another room or full refund. Got the full refund and went to another hotel. The rest was just like a motel. Will not stay there again.

Pros: Meh, could have been worse. Pretty standard cheap motel.

Cons: Wasn't as cheap as it should have been based on location, amenities, and level of comfort. Also shower head was very low.

Pros: Comfortable beds with a nice view from the bedrooms. Very adequate kitchen facilities. Kitchen table had a slightly sticky surface due to poor paint choice or application. Staff were very pleasant.

Cons: Bathroom towels seemed musty, metal towel rack in bathroom could be cleaner, couldn't get main room TV to work but there was another TV in one of the bedrooms that worked fine. Door bolt didn't look too secure.

Pros: Great location -fantastic view, friendly staff, very clean

Pros: It was in a quiet part of town

Cons: We recently visited Nanaimo and Waterfront suites was the one we chose, turns out it is untrustable. After we checked out the room, we realized we've left a jacket inside the room, and we have called serveral times for the receptionist to mail the jacket, she took our address and she said that she will mail it and we'll get it in a few business days, but eventually we waited and we got nothing. Soon enough we dialed again to ask about the mailing problem, and the receptionist said that another staff will call back afterwards to mail the jacket over. which he never did until the fifth phone call we made, and the answer we got was that they don't even know where the jacket is. Upsetting service

Pros: The only positive aspect of this place was the view

Cons: The room was absolutely filthy and and full of silverfish. We were offered a $20 reduction off our $350 bill for two nights.

Pros: Big rooms View was fantastic
