Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent
"Everything about our stay was great. One quick mention is that the air conditioner in room 250 would not turn on. We came in late and were exhausted so did not call the front desk to get this fixed. Thank you!"

"Staff were great! When we checked in our room the air conditioning wasn't really working, not getting cold. Asked about it, then they gave us a upgrade to another room. The hotel is a bit old, but they are updating their rooms. Overall our stay was great!"

Buccaneer Inn

Buccaneer Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The Sea View Cottage was perfect. Suhail was a terrific help and his customer service skills were outstanding. I highly recommend the Buccaneer Inn. It is 3 mins from the ferry terminal and a 5 minute walk to a great pub/restaurant on the water. The beds were excellent, the living room was extremely comfortable and the house itself was quite large! Thank you!!"
