Courtyard By Marriott Nanaimo

8/10 Good
"Good. If you want something easy to book without having to think too much about everything this is a great option. Very clean, which was a huge plus. A little bit overpriced but location is really great and the parking is less than 10 dollars a day which isn’t too bad at all for downtown."
