Room was clean, updated and well maintained. The front door glass was broken, that is my only reason for four stars. I would stay here again.

The hotel is right on the main road through Nanaimo and I first thought it might be too noisy but it wasn't. The room is well constructed to provide a nice nights sleep. Pictures in the ad are accurate. If you travel with a dog there is a nice enclosed back area for exercise.

Both rooms we stayed in were very nice. Noise was a factor our first night as the hotel is next to a busy street; however we requested a move to the back side of the building and it was much quieter.

This is a human-free mini-motel right on a busy street. Be tech-savvy to check in. The motel looks good, but many functions do not work well. OK for the price.

The room was clean and looked nice. But there was a very overpowering smell of either cleaner, or some sort of chemical. It wasnt good. The lady was very nice but there was no staff at all, on site at all to remedy the situation, and no one called us back until just before the time of check out. check in and out was very convienient , but again, no staff. we did it all online. They had everything you needed in the room and it was a great price. Overall not a bad stay, but using a staffless system in a customer service based industry, definitely had its flaws.

Check in and out were fully virtual. This made it very efficient but I'm not sure if any staff were on site while I was there.
It was a clean room and the kitchenette was well stocked. The bed is comfy. There is significant highway noise and inexplicably no washcloths.

Given the rate, I did not have high expectations; however, cleanliness is an area that could be improved.
The fridge and microwave were not cleaned, which may have been an oversight.
The bedsheets also had hair on them, so I wasn’t entirely sure if they had been changed after the previous guest checked out.

The self check-in was more complicated than expected, but the staff did assist (via telephone) and everything worked out. Room was clean and comfortable, though a loud mechanical sound below our room (laundry maybe?) occurred in/around bedtime and began again in the early morning. Conveniently located!

Since there is no one at the front desk, its a self check in facility. Rooms were clean but there was wired smell all the time , i guess people been smoking or have pets ( says pet friendly) in the room . Even pillows have the smoke smell in them .

The parking lot was easy to find but if your turning left into it it’s a sharp turn but was easy to drive into. Was not hard to find, getting the info for the codes were easy from the staff. The room was spacious, did smell like cleaner when we walked it but opening the window helped. Liked the beds the were comfy and so were the pillows. Liked that the tv was a Roku for streaming Netflix, etc. This was my first hotel where we didn’t need a key, check in was done all over the phone. Would stay here again. Liked also that it was close to the ferry and a Starbucks. It is by a road thats heavily traffic but didn’t bother my sleeping.

The place was dirty, the people staying next door were up screaming and slamming furniture against the wall and going in and out of the room and building every 20 mins. The traffic kept us up all night, there is no staff on site to help with anything and the room smelled like dog a cigarettes. It sounded like a brothel all night and I unfortunately was there with my children.
