Very good

The check-in lady was wonderful. The mentality of the motel seems to be to cater to the worst client they ever had and to treat people that way. With the exception of the check-in lady. The checkout lady should not be dealing with the public. The walls are thin and it's a pretty loud location. The cleaning staff also has no problem barging right into your suite.

Friendly staff. Allow early check in. Best value in town. Quiet back rooms.
While not in the best neighborhood in the city it was a wonderful, recently renovated room. Best value hotel in Nanaimo. Exceptional front desk staff and cleaners. Would stay again in heartbeat.

Older, but main bedroom was clean. Keurig coffee a nice touch. Bathroom could use some TLC, light fixtures updated.
But for overnight the price was right.
A gem in the downtown section of Nanaimo. Unless you have road side accommodation it's very quiet and clean. Helpful front desk and close to ferry and banks, etc.
