I stayed there for a night while I was evacuated due to fires. It was a very difficult situation for me. However, the accommodations were excellent. Most of all, Cindy at the front desk was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond for me as I saw her doing for other customers as well. Cindy was friendly, professional and again, so incredibly helpful. She made my stay very comfortable and I would recommend the Dancing Bear, but most importantly, Cindy, very highly and I am looking forward to staying at this delightful establishment again soon. ##### Dianne Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Prestige Oceanfront Resort, WorldHotels Luxury](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Prestige-Oceanfront-Resort.h4423936.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Barclay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Barclay-Hotel.h126239.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Lake Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Golden-Hotels-Emerald-Lake-Lodge.h191535.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Fernie Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Cranbrook-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Fernie-Mountain-Lodge.h597175.Hotel-Information) > > [SookePoint Ocean Cottage Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-SookePoint-Ocean-Cottage-Resort.h25183454.Hotel-Information) > > [Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oyster Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Microtel-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Oyster-Bay.h21648061.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Hot-Springs-Resort-And-Spa.h553971.Hotel-Information) > > [Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Tigh-Na-Mara-Seaside-Spa-Resort.h891260.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanfront Suites at Cowichan Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Duncan-Hotels-Oceanfront-Suites-At-Cowichan-Bay.h900514.Hotel-Information) > > [THE Beach Club Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-THE-Beach-Club-Resort.h1899963.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Lake Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Lake-Hotel.h63504.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Salmon Arm](https://www.expedia.ca/Salmon-Arm-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott.h57964334.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Penticton at the Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Penticton-Hotels-Four-Points-Penticton-Convention-Centre.h93260034.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Mission City Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Mission-City-Lodge.h233951.Hotel-Information) > > [Basecamp Resorts Revelstoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Revelstoke-Hotels-Basecamp-Resorts.h45738469.Hotel-Information) > > [Sparkling Hill Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Vernon-Hotels-Sparkling-Hill-Wellness-Resort-And-Spa-Adult-Only-Resort.h3489503.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Sunrise-Ridge-Waterfront-Resort.h1743576.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrison Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Harrison-Beach-Hotel.h1370041.Hotel-Information) > > [Qualicum Beach Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Qualicum-Beach-Inn.h12333217.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Abbotsford BC](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Abbotsford-BC.h4160.Hotel-Information) > > [Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Brentwood-Bay-Resort-Spa.h1077147.Hotel-Information) > > [Rowena's Inn On The River](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Rowenas-Inn-On-The-River.h8343282.Hotel-Information) > > [Black Rock Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tofino-Hotels-Black-Rock-Oceanfront-Resort.h2432309.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Parksville Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Coast-Parksville-Hotel.h7100062.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayside Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Bayside-Resort.h15138.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacific Shores Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Pacific-Shores-Resort-Spa.h16295324.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Merritt Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamloops-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Merritt-Hotel.h18989275.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Victoria Airport Sidney](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Victoria-Airport.h22468.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Abbotsford Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Coast-Abbotsford-Hotel-Suites.h163336.Hotel-Information)
