Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo

Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent
"We got the last ferry and it was running late, which means we were checking in at almost 2am. The front desk was still open and staffed and friendly. Even though our stay was only about 6 hours, it was clean comfortable and we wished we could’ve stayed longer. The breakfast was also a nice touch before we headed out."
