The motel was clean and close to nearby shops for groceries and restaurants. It was on a busy street so during the day in the front room you could hear the traffic. The furniture in the unit was a little worn. The walk in shower in the bathroom was very large which was nice. For being a budget motel it was good overall.

“Oceanview” from first floor was a sliver, houses and trees blocked any chance of view. No instructions on how to use the induction cooktop. Check in was quick. Convenient parking.

Amazing staff and nice big room, they did a good job on the renovations since the last time i stayed. They allow animals with no restrictions on dogs. We didnt leave the room after dark cause of the homeless and drug addicts thay were roaming around. Well letting our dogs go to the bathroom we found a few needles and baggies with powder in it. Ither then that no complaints at all and would book there again.

It was an adequate stop over for a family but the walls were so dirty in the kitchen I washed them myself. Bedrooms were nice and comfy. Bathroom was nice (windowsill rotting though). Staff were friendly and gave me laundry soap when I asked so I could use the coin laundry. Neighbourhood is a bit iffy but so is most of Nanaimo I guess. Lots of homeless and drug use in the surrounding areas.

For the price range the room offered everything I could want. The only issue for me was there wasnt a tub for a bath.

What we expected for the price. Ant infestation throughout the family unit/bathroom and no parking when we returned from our event, means i wouldnt book again.
