I stay in a lot of motels. I like the convenience over Hotels. This one is one of my favorites. Just wish it was a bit closer to downtown.

Friendly and helpful staff. Well maintained property. I had a room at the back of the hotel which was very quiet.

Did not need the a/c and parking was good.

Air conditioner didn't work. Neighbors were loud. Not enough pillows. Shower water kept going from warm to cold. Mini size shampoo/conditioner bottle. Guess services close at 10!!

Spartan/minimalist and dated accommodations, friendly staff, no attached restaurants, lounge, exercise, or pool... ...nothing like that. For a guy or couple needing simple accommodation, for a single night, this would probably suit most - would not recommend the same for single female travelers or extended stays. Due to its close proximity to downtown, the neighboring area remains a bit rough (street people) and staff lock the vehicle gate at the rear of the property each evening for good reason (laneway activities).

Clean and Inviting

Homeless people close by

Allan was a charming host and we felt most welcome

Very friendly staff, convenient location

Our room was clean and spacious with a King Size bed. Everything we needed was provided. Our room was located at the back which made it private and quiet. The property was well maintained and we felt comfortable. We would certainly stay again and highly recommend this motel for others

A simple place, nothing fancy. But the bed is comfy and the staff are kind

There is no amenities. The rooms were okay. Beds are old spring beds so not the easiest to stay in long term. Staff are decently super happy. Our stay was very full and had some dramatic neighbors and the staff didn't want to deal with it.

Much better than some of the reviews. A room at the back.is quieter.

Second time we’ve stayed at the Harbour Light Motel. Great location and staff. Thank you.

It was a very basic property. Minimal amenities in the room and a not very pleasant location.

We had a lovely stay! The room was modern and had everything we needed. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the location was great. Definitely would stay here again.

Great location, lots of places to eat nearby

Quick and easy check in. Will stay again

Comfy beds and nicely renovated rooms. Suited us perfectly for our quick stopover in Nanaimo. Surrounding neighborhood is a bit rough however.

I have stayed at the Harbour Light Motel for probably 10 years now, whenever I am in Nanaimo. A basic motel room, clean. Lovely staff.
