Top Protection Island Hotel Reviews

The Grand Hotel Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"Clean cozy room and close to all amenities"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oyster Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel if you’re flying out of Nanaimo as it’s less than a 10 minute drive to the airport. They even have a screen with all the flight info. The room and lobby were clean and the staff were excellent. The bedroom had a fridge and microwave, which were very convenient."

Travelodge by Wyndham Nanaimo

8/10 Good

"This was actually good value for the price. However the hallways need a major upgrade: the carpet needs replacing and the walls are in a such need of a coat of paint that I was a little wary of opening the door to the room! BUT the room itself was quite lovely, very clean and quiet, and the staff seemed very nice. I’d stay again."

The Port-O-Call Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were super clean and had everything we needed. The staff were respectful and helpful; when we had an issue, they quickly attended to it and offered solutions. The cost was all right, but it could be a bit cheaper; we would've stayed longer had it been so. Definitely will be coming back."
