Better than expected

Everything was very good except for the pool. It needed cleaning so that was disappointing since we booked it because of an outdoor pool. The breakfast was amazing, room was clean and comfortable….dont understand the negative reviews.

Reasonably priced, nice attached pub with great food and entertainment which was good because they’re isn’t exactly the best food selection anywhere close, warm outdoor pool, great beds and pillows, I can’t think of anything bad to say. Next time your even thinking of staying in Nanaimo drive here and stay instead

I was only staying 1 night on a work trip, it's a great hotel for this type of stay. The property conditoin is good, parking is great, nice new TVs and the pub/restaurant on the main floor was good and convenient. I would recommend this place for easy access from Hwy or for short-term stays for work or with family. Not much to walk to around the hotel, so expect to drive to where you are going.

By Hwy 1 so very easy access. Room comfortable, clean and modern. Bathroom cozy but clean and modern. Good supplies. Courtesy breakfast is only a sit-in option so not great if you travel with a pet that you dont want to leave alone in your room. Overall very pleasant.

Staff were great, our dog even received a little welcome bag with some treats and doggie doo bags, nice touch. The restaurant was very busy, a good sign and it did not disappoint, it was very good. The breakfast was decent and had something for everyone. I didn't go in the pool but it looked decent. Room was great - the only complaint was the tub drained super slow while showering. Would recommend and at $200 was a good value.

Liked that it was CLEAN and conveniently located. Loved the gym! Only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the bathroom ceiling was unfinished. Like they renovated the property and forgot to finish the ceiling (see pic). Toilet seat was the wrong size for the toilet and uncomfortable using it as too close to the wall (could have been because of the incorrect seat).
