Expectations Exceeded at the Long Lake Inn

We live only a few minutes away in Nanaimo, and I booked a family suite to surprise my wife and daughter on Valentine's Day. My expectations were truly exceeded. The exterior fails to do the Long Lake Inn justice, as the interior is quite obviously recently renovated and exceptionally clean, spacious, and modern. Our daughter falls on the Autism spectrum and it is important for her to have her own space whenever we stay in a hotel. The family suite has a separate bedroom and a comfortable sofa-bed in the living room, so it was perfect for us. It also has a balcony and a fully stocked kitchen, which I used to prepare dinner. The hot tub and sauna are in a small, separate building, which in the winter months is slightly less than ideal, but warm robes are provided in the room, so it was really a non-issue. The spa/sauna building has a cabin feel to it, as it is wooden, which makes it very unique with a nice aroma, and there are change rooms in it, so you can change there, if desired. A continental breakfast is complimentary, which was also a nice touch, and there is coffee/tea, fruit-infused water, snacks (e.g., apples, cookies) available free of charge 24 hours. I was also very impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of ALL staff members, both at the front desk and the housekeeping staff - they were all wonderful! We are so happy that we chose to spend our Valentine's Day at the Long Lake Inn, and I strongly recommend it to any prospective future guests!

Lobby was lovely and the lake view is quite nice, but the room itself was worn, I think the mattress was quite old as it dipped a lot in the middle, the showerhead unit actually came off and fell on my husband while he was in the shower (he wasn't injured but it was a bit of a shock). I then had to have a shower with just the metal pipe spurting water out like a hose on me. We would've just changed rooms but we got there late and had to be up at 4am to catch a ferry so we just put up with it. The front counter staff member was friendly and unfortunately, because of our early departure, we didn't get to try the breakfast that was included so can't comment on that. The pet friendly policy is great and the $20 pet fee is very reasonable compared to some hotels. Overall, it felt pricey for the condition of the room and I probably wouldn't stay there again.

I did not like the hidden charges, which we were not told about $10 plus tax for parking! When getting a hotel room, you should know about all of the expenses that are going to happen and inform you about any hidden costs.
