Will repeat our stay when next in Nanaimo

Excellent value for the cost. Very clean and had a working fridge with internal freezer-also working, microwave, and Kerrigan machine. The internal fan/air conditioning unit is remote controlled and works well. High quality sheets and a comfortable bed were greatly appreciated. Clean towels and bathroom with over the door hooks in an adequate number were a bonus. À surge protector power strip attached to the wall between the beds was a much appreciated feature. It is an older motel and well maintained.

Blood stained comforter and the other bed had burn holes in the comforter. The shower head was falling off the wall and it had a very musty smell. Lots of homeless people down the street, not in an ideal location.

Portable air conditioner kept us awake for the two nights. Other than that it's a great place to stay. I would stay there again just not in that room.

The staff were lovely. Only thing wrong. There was no place to unpack your clothes. Room only had one small closet with 4 hangers. No dresser, no luggage stand. Had to use one of the beds for clothes. Seemed bizarre to me.
