Loved our two night stay at this hotel! Friendly, helpful staff and an exceptionally clean room. Across from the motel is a boardwalk along the ocean channel. We strolled and enjoyed the boats and watched the seals. Will definitely stay again!

most everything was okay, however during our stay the outside temperature was less the 10 deg C during the night and there was no available heat in the room. The room used hot water heating and while I turned the valve to the maximum setting, no heat was to be had. Maybe we should use the stove?????

We didn’t have time to use the kitchen, but we walked down to the marina and ate at the pub (4 minute walk). We had a truck and trailer and had a spot to park. Staff were super helpful and our stay was very enjoyable. Thank you

Fantastic. The price was right, the staff was courteous. It was exactly what I was looking for in a motel.

Great place to stay. Close to ferry, clean beds, nothing to complain about! Will stay here again

The service was great!

We booked a cottage, it was very clean. And provided full set of utensils. The rooms are very cozy. We had a wonderful day staying there. I definitely will consider this place again for my next visits Nanaimo.😊

Clean, quiet and very close to the ferry terminal.

Their "Cottage" is really a 3 br, 1 bath house with washer and dryer and full kitchen (somewhat limited cooking utensils etc. but could make do) for staying many days that is reasonably updated with nice beds and decent furniture and parking right next to it. It is next to the rest of the Buccaneer Inn right on the main highway, so it is not secluded. Only the tiniest of peekaboo view of the harbor on the other side of the highway. So don't expect to be in a cottage in a forest or near a beach. The crosswalk across the highway is nearby and once across, nice walkway along the harbor and a very good Irish pub we went to 2 nights. So, on balance, a good value for the price and a good "base" for a visit to Nanaimo.

The Buccaneer worked perfectly for my wife and I. Helpful staff, spacious suite-like room, convenient location, and the best booklet with local information and tips we’ve ever seen!

Note that the property is pretty old, so you will sleep in smells of mold/old wood/old sewage system etc for the night. Not too strong tho, tolerable considering the price and location. Otherwise the place was fine. Spacious room, helpful and friendly staff, 3 min drive away from Departure Bay, nice Harbour view, quiet, etc.

We really liked the hotel. Great location, wonderful and helpful staff. Stairs were a little too much, but the thin wall were awful

Our stay was very much a motel stay and that’s what we expected, but the cleanliness of the room was disappointing. The bathroom floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned very well, there was a big spot of something dried on the couch and the blanket that they gave us for the pull out couch appeared to not be washed as there was something dried on that as well. I wish I would have seen that there was no air conditioning. Keeping the windows open wasn’t an option as our room was accessible from the outside and being right beside a busy road caused lots of road noise.

The staff were helpful and professional. The room small and not much clean I wouldn’t pay more than hundred dollar for it.

We were on the bottom floor and the window didn’t lock, so that was on my mind half the night.

This is a lovely little property! The room was cozy and had everything that was needed. We would easily stay here again!

Spotless!

The access were dirty. I paid for double room but the chair and bowl was only one. The staff was not friendly.

The room rate is advertised at $105, not the $161.00 I was charged, for a total of $461. The hotel had a rating of 9.2. Wow. This was a huge disappointment. I asked the front desk if they would honor the rate of $105 and she refused. That was BEFORE I saw the room. The hotel is old, poorly maintained, screens and windows were broken. Window screens had holes with several flies on the screen. The window tracks were filthy & black. The mustard colored paint was chipped, damaged, dirty. The Seaview Queen suite did not have the fireplace pictured, nor did it have any view of the sea. The only view was of a weed infested side yard through the broken windows. Old painted particle board cabinet doors were chipped with missing chunks of particle board. Every piece of molding was chipped, worn and dirty. The furniture was very dated, cheap pine that was worn and stained. The nightstands had been painted, but the paint was chipped. The hotel has not been renovated since the 1950s. We stayed to register a complaint with Hotels.com.The hotel clerk came over while I was in the phone. I showed her the broken windows and screens. She opened the window and let the flies into the room. We left with 30 minutes. My friends in another room noted similar disrepair and lack of maintenance. To open the microwave door required moving the small refrigerator placed in front of it. Seaview Queen Suite was a scam. The hotel is on par with a run down 1950 no-tell motel in a bad neighborhood

The lady ay check in was very professiomnal!
