Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo

Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent
"Room was quite large from what we were expecting, it was very clean. Location was great if you’re coming off the ferry from tsawwassen. The staff were super friendly and nice & gave many recommendations around the area for places to see and things to do/eat. We didn’t use the pool or hot tub facilities. The breakfast was a let down but what you’d expect. Wifi was iffy but no big deal. I would stay again if i’m in the area"

"The hotel is in need of some upgrades but overall it was good. The tub in the bathroom dripped constantly, we advised the front desk so hopefully the next people in the room won’t have that issue. The breakfast was very poor with very limited options."
