This property borders on TransCanada Highway so it is not quiet. However, it was close to the ferry and readonable cost. Staff vety helpful. Alice's Restaurant next door was fabulous.

The rooms were basic but recently updated. Bed was comfy and clean and the room had ammenities such as fridge and coffee maker. It is located close enough to the ferry to be convenient and the price was reasonable. It is along a busy street though, so a bit noisy.

I like that they called to confirm our reservation. Also the staff at the front desk (a lovely woman) was super friendly and helpful when we checked in late in the evening on August 28 after missing our ferry back to Vancouver. This place is a great option for a quick, clean and inexpensive stop and I would happily plan to stay here again for my next Nanaimo visit.
