"I enjoyed my one night stay at this hotel. It is close to the Nanaimo hospital (my wife was there overnight for surgery). The price was excellent; the room was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. There are several shopping areas and lots of restaurants nearby. My room had a great view of the ocean. If I’d had more time, I would have walked along the shore. Overall, an excellent experience at a stressful time for our family."
