Cheap price for this time of the year (summer) in Nanaimo but clean, staff is nice. If your expecting anything but basic accommodations than this place isn’t for you

Very clean and tidy but just little noisy when neighbors walked around the balcony. There’s a Korean cuisine next door should provide a free dining to travellers

When we arrived there was visibly long term guests who look like they live there, one side of the property is dirty and unkept, gives a bad impression right off the bat. they don’t provide web photos so when u come into your room is a surprise to see the layout and outdated decor.

The pillows felt like they were full of air and were not comfortable at all. Air conditioning was welcome but rather noisy (can't have everything I guess!) Otherwise it was all good.
