For an older property, the upgrades were first class.

The lady at the front desk was very helpful. I was worried that it might be noisy however it was very quiet being so close to the road.

Nanaimo was a little city that is spread far apart, but everything you need is 10mins away
The homelessness issue rears its head all around Nanaimo but not as aparant as Vancouver!
A lot of OLD buildings with a lot of CLOSED but there is a bunch of construction, so I am wondering if the city will soon rebuild?

Nanaimo is a cool little city.
Nanaimo is a cool little city. Depending on the goal of your trip renting a vehicle is recommended, since the city is spread out. As well there is much to see in surrounding areas. With the ocean, mountains and forest this community is surrounded by nature and beauty!

We had a great dinner at Firehouse Grill and fantastic coffee at Regards Coffee and the walk along the waterfront was nice but nothing super special, in all honesty it's kind of a dreary, quiet place that isn't very pretty. Maybe it has way more to offer than what meets the eye but I truly wouldn't care to stay there for more than a night passing through.

There was a couple of RATS outside by the pool but they stayed away from people. The hot tub wasn’t working either. But the pool was GLORIOUS and the room was clean to perfection. It was a nice place to sleep in!

I didn't see much of Nanaimo, just Petraglyph Park, before heading to Victoria. This side of Nanaimo was quiet, and I left very early. One great thing about South Nanaimo is its proximity to the Duke Point Ferry - a short drive. Also, the lack of nightlife meant my visit was quiet.
I would recommend visiting Petraglyph Park. It's not easy to find it, you have to be driving on the northbound side, but it's beautiful. I've enjoyed other aspects of Nanaimo in the past, especially the Woodgrove area, and I've found people there very friendly.

Lots of parking available in Nanaimo downtown, ( dont park on yellow band or else you get ticket) and walk around harbor and see sea plane takes off and landing. lots of trails to explore. you can catch fish on the shore.
Exceptional Service. The reception staff went beyond our expectations to ensure our requests were met and were very pleasant people, as were all staff that we encountered in the hotel .
The view is absolutely amazing...fantastic location, best in Nanaimo.
The in-house restaurant opens early and has a varied menu to suite the needs of various diets.
I highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Nanaimo; you will be treated well and will appreciate the location etc.
Sadly, no breakfast anymore. I was told that the on site restaurant would open at 7 AM, but in fact it was not ready to open until 8:30 AM Too late for my circumstances. It was a long we can, and the hotel was Understaffed. The staff were doing the best they could , but The service did not rise to the cost I was paying.
Nice big room, close to nanaimo city center (less than 10min to walk), good price, helpful staff. Laundry is possible, but only in self service. Good point to visit many things in the surroundings (from Parksville to Chemainus many parks with a roughly 30min drive, North Island Wild Recovery Center is worth a visit!)
- Friendly receptionnist who welcomed me better than I could ever expected
- The size of the room was perfect along with equipment and the quality of the beds
- Hotel located 15 minutes walking from downtown and waterfront
- Some nice restaurants around the Motel (not talking about Mc Donalds :) )
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Spot Hotel, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff members who went above and beyond to make my stay memorable.
The room has a kitchenet. It was spacious enough and the bed was comfortable. The location was far from Nanaimo downtown (25 mins drive approx) but walmart, Save On Foods etc. were on a 5 mins drive and Real Canadian Store was just across the street.
Overall, a nice place to stay.
I loved my room so clean and very comfortable. It's was so nice to have a pet friendly place for my dog and they gave me extra blanket for my pup to sleep on. The staff were very friendly, I would recommend this place and the price is very affordable.
Loved my stay.
The location is pretty convenient to the downtown area, and it's about C$20 cheaper than 2* hotels with private rooms. The shared kitchen is nice for camaraderie but the stoves are in poor repair and the equipment (knives etc.) is crap.
One of the best apartments we ever stayed at. Large, nice furnishings, all you need is there. It's very close to the waterfront, perfect for disabled people, there is an elevator opening straight into the living room.
Our room (on the 6th floor) has a great view torwards harbour waterfront. You are able to see beautiful sunrise! The room is quite spacious. The hotel is located near the old town quarter and is very convenient.
I loved that they have a hotel dog. The lady was very friendly at the front desk too. If the ferry ever gets canceled and I’m stuck in Nanaimo again , I will definitely stay there again .
Not too far from down town nanimo , about a 12 min walk to the harbour which was great for us as we are walkers ! This hotel is new , stylish and very clean ! Staff was very friendly
Fantastic place for a brief stay in Nanaimo. Coco was helpful in the run up to the trip answering my questions, and the room was fantastically comfortable and well appointed.
