Love the elegance and old world glam that this hotel has. You walk in and are transported back in time. The lovely desk clerk was such a helpful, welcoming addition to the vibe. When we come to Nanaimo I try and book here because of the staff and the rooms.

For a High quality hotel, i find that it needs improvement. Coffee machine should be a Keurig instead of trying to figure out the machine. Nothing to write with or note pads to write on. No explanations in the room about the pool service. No vending machines in hotel, i was surprised that not even a bathrobe to put on after bathing. Could include a menu in the room. Just little details that would really impress people that do travel a lot in order for the hotel have customers come back.
