“Tired but clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

We were in Nanaimo for the weekend, and wanted a cheap place to stay. You get what you pay for. The hotel is dated, the beds were comfortable, but could stand to be updated, as were the pillows. But it was very clean and the staff very friendly & pleasant.

this hotel has gone through a whole raft of rebirths over the years and shows it.....even finding the front door is a bit of a challenge. The motel is joined by the hip to the bus depot and is at one of the citie busiest intersections. So road noise is a factor. The clientele tend to be people who just... More
