Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean, more coffee in the room not just 2, warmer water for shower and wash basin. The picture on the web site is not the view you have and the beach you have to find somewhere in Nanaimo
Was a very good deal for having 2 separate rooms. Bathroom was nicely renovated. Bed was firm and comfortable. Good location not too far from downtown, but is along a busy road so if you are in the room facing the road, you can still hear some cars at night.
