I really liked the sea theme. It's a pretty old building and there a few things that could be fixed like the windows. The garden outside was wonderful to look at but definitely needs some TLC. Shower curtain needs washing. Overall though, I enjoyed my stay and staff were excellent.

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!

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.
