This was a very comfortable motel close to the ferry in Nanaimo. Our heater wasn’t working and management provided a portable unit until they could repair it the following day. Most appreciated. We enjoyed the separate sitting area with tv and cooking facility, although we didn’t do any cooking. We would most definitely stay again.

Located within a few minutes drive from Departure Bay Ferry Terminal, this was perfect for our overnight stay before heading onwards. The hotel room was clean and spacious with very good amenities (eg. small kitchen area including stove, microwave and fridge) for the price. Thanks to the friendly staff for the easy check-in and check-out!

Absolutely charming gem of a spot. I made use of the stove. Bed was comfy, thank you to the front desk agent who helped with my bag upstairs. When I checked out , I saw he helped another patron with her bags crossing the street too.
