Travelodge by Wyndham Nanaimo

"The motel has an excellent location. Breakfast is simple but it gets you the energy for a good start of the day, especially those hard boiled eggs. I will definitely choose this motel for my next stay in Nanaimo."

THE Beach Club Resort

10/10 Excellent

"we had a great stay with our daughter. the direct beach access made things super easy, and the pool was clean and well maintained. Room service food was decent - solid 8/10. Front desk staff were very friendly."

Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff, great amenities."

Hotel Feng, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and tidy. The pool was good and same with the Hot Tub. The staff was very professional. I think it's worth the stay."

Arbutus Grove Motel

8/10 Good

"Great little motel for a short stay to Parksville. Good location and surprisingly quiet considering the proximity to the road."

Best Western Northgate Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice and quiet property."

Ocean Trails Resort

8/10 Good

"The property is well maintained, check-in (out) was quick and easy. We enjoyed the many rabbits that gather outside daily; even though they’re wild bunnies, they’re obviously not afraid of people and would come right up to you. They’re so cute and quirky! I believe that our unit had been recently renovated. Even though it was really nice, it wasn’t what I assumed we’d be getting; the photos were completely different! The unit I had booked had a lovely white kitchen with a large island, 4 black bar height chairs and featured a skylight as the units are quite dark inside. That’s not what we got and rather than complain about it, we knew it would be just fine. For the most part, it was great but there are a couple things I feel are worth mentioning. On the 3rd day, we had neighbours move in above us (we were on the bottom floor). They weren’t loud at all but you could hear every footstep and every sneeze! Considering it’s a wooden structure and not concrete, it’s totally understandable. A lesson to be learned here; book the top floor if you don’t like the sound of footsteps above! FYI: there are several steps that take you to the ocean; beware if you have mobility issues. Upon checkout, I mentioned that the condo was very clean EXCEPT for the 4 dining chairs and the sofa. A really good cleaning is needed as they were quite soiled. Having light coloured fabric is perhaps not the best choice for a rental unit. All and all, it’s a lovely complex; 4 stars for sure!"

Coast Bastion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location in Nanaimo. The rooms are spacious and clean. Love that it’s pet friendly. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in Nanaimo next."
