Top Departure Bay Ferry Terminal Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn

8/10 Good

"Clean room"

Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean and exactly as shown in the Google photos. The air conditioning worked great, and the fridge was a nice addition. The pool and hot tub were both enjoyable. The hot tub jets were not working for the first few nights of our stay, but they were fixed and working by our last night. The complimentary breakfast was good and included waffles, eggs, bagels, toast, yogurt, and fruit—pretty much what I would expect from a free hotel breakfast. My only complaint was that the front lobby was under construction when we arrived, and there was no flooring installed at the time. The work continued overnight, but thankfully we didn’t hear any noise from our room. It would have been helpful to receive a notice about the construction before arrival. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend staying here."

The Port-O-Call Inn & Suites

6/10 Okay

"The room was a basic room which was fine... but the 2 beds in the unit were horrible the felt like they were falling apart, creaked every time i turned over during the night.. staff need to learn how to make beds properly. Unit was clean but definitely things that could be done better. to get out of the parking lot I had to back to the entry area as there was no way to exit around the back of the motel. The grounds look to be getting upgraded."
