It’s our third stay over the span of 4 years. Excellent motel, great staff and service, clean room. Quiet location right by the water, very conveniently situated from the transportation standpoint, close to Downtown Nanaimo, and many restaurants and stores are within 10-15 min drive.

Don’t be fooled by the exterior of this small motel. It’s a bit dated. But the quality inside our room was lovely. We had a suite that has a bedroom and a sitting area with a pull out couch. The furniture was basic but the sheets and towels were luxurious. There was soap and shampoo in refillable pump bottles and they were lovely. The youn man at reception was also very nice and efficient.

Located within a few minutes drive from Departure Bay Ferry Terminal, this was perfect for our overnight stay before heading onwards. The hotel room was clean and spacious with very good amenities (eg. small kitchen area including stove, microwave and fridge) for the price. Thanks to the friendly staff for the easy check-in and check-out!

I really liked the sea theme. It's a pretty old building and there a few things that could be fixed like the windows. The garden outside was wonderful to look at but definitely needs some TLC. Shower curtain needs washing. Overall though, I enjoyed my stay and staff were excellent.
