So nice!
Very clean and even our dogs seemed to relax in a new and unexpected environment.
It had a nice little kitchenette and a very spacious king bedroom.
Staff were always happy to accommodate our needs.
Not our first week long stay.
Wonderful!

The Hotel in general is very clean, Friendly. efficient check-in and check-out. And Honest!
The rooms were a bit on the warm side but I will figure out how to lower the temperature when I return next week.
Thank you for your Hospitality

It was quiet which was good for sleeping. It's slightly dated but over all was a good stay.

Clean room. Hotel very out of date. Cracked tile in bathroom. Floors are terrible. Carpet is 30 years old and totally wrecked - backing appears to have cone off and bunched up causing very uncomfortable and uneven walking. Do not take off your shoes. Tacky front entrance.
Needs a major update - probably all original when built in late 90s

Love the elegance and old world glam that this hotel has. You walk in and are transported back in time. The lovely desk clerk was such a helpful, welcoming addition to the vibe. When we come to Nanaimo I try and book here because of the staff and the rooms.
