The hotel was bright, modern and clean and there were great views over the harbour. It was very nice to have two restaurants on the ground floor of the hotel. The free parking was also great.

There are some seedy sections of Nanaimo.
There are some seedy sections of Nanaimo. Rough areas to avoid.
We did find a rejuvinated section of the city which was beautifil with cute shops and restaurants. Lights strung at night. We dined there at an absolutely lovely greek restaurant called Asteras. Anyone visiting Nanimo needs to go there! We had the feeling of being in a different country. Excellent food & service!

I live near Nanaimo. Why would one come to Nanaimo?
I live near Nanaimo. Why would one come to Nanaimo? We do for the shopping. Maybe to the inner harbour and walk the boardwalk, have lunch, go whale watching or take a scenic float plane ride. More likely Nanaimo is just a starting point to visiting elsewhere on the island. The island is mainly about the outdoors.

Nanaimo is a great city.
Nanaimo is a great city. Has incredible views of the bay and mountain range. Very friendly people. I happened upon a lovely kitchen store, Maison Cookware & Bakeware, that has an incredible selection of quality kitchenware. I spent some time talking to the owner, Julia House. She was a wealth of information on everything in her store. She said they will soon be opening a tableware store in the same complex. Definitely a stop for every cook!

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!
Balcony view to the lake was great. Room was big with lots of space for us to spread out and repack our gear. Hot tub and sauna were good and the lake would be fun on a warm day, otherwise nice for the views.
Breakfast was pretty good for a hotel breakfast. A good amount of choice and engaged staff. Front desk staff were all friendly and helpful. Laundry facilities were inexpensive and much appreciated.
Great location right by the ocean and in close proximity to many shops, cafes, historic sites, etc. The rooms facing the harbour give you scenic views. The restaurants inside the hotel are convenient and have delicious food. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly and willing to help.
We liked everything about this hotel. The hotel was lovely, the staff were so friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. The food was really good and the price was reasonable too. It is the only place we have stayed that you get real glasses in your room.
