10/10 Excellent
"Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The rooms were quite spacious and comfortable for a family of 4. Clean tidy room and well maintained. The linens and towels were clean and were neatly replaced or done each day. The stay included complimentary continental breakfast which was really good. The lady at the breakfast counter was really courteous and was replenishing food frequently. All of the front staff were really courteous and were helpful. The hotel did not have a pool but the gym was not in good shape with most of the equipments were old or not working. But that was not much of an issue as overall the stay was a great experience. The location of the hotel is very central and easy to access malls, beaches and lakes. I would definitely like to revisit and probably have an additional night of stay as there is so much to explore in Nanaimo."

"Our room was very clean, I could tell the place was renovated haphazardly and the door had 2 chains that were almost broken from being kicked in or something. But honestly I felt safe here and the staff were super friendly. Definitely a cheaper alternative and I saw some pictures of some not so clean rooms in the reviews but ours was great"
