Room was clean and pet friendly. The bed head board was squeaky and really uncomfortable. When I went out around 11pm there were drug addicts going to rooms in the building. I immediately did not feel safe. I would never stay here again.

This is a basic hotel. Very clean, quiet, stark furnishing and priced accordingly. No coffee or machine, no floor bathroom mat, no hair dryer, no cups or glasses, no phone. Office is not open daily. I was unable to get a receipt for my expenses as office was closed and didn’t answer phone when I was checking out. Left a message hoping they will send me a copy.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beware Room 201 if you don't want to smell stale old smoke and chemicals used to try to cover it up. We were fine with the broken electrical outlets, dirty floors, and other signs of low end motel world. But we paid $178 to spend a night in this horrible place. Couldn't change rooms, or even talk about it afterwards, as no one was on the front desk at 9:30 PM or 8:30 AM. There are lots of motels on the strip in Nanaimo, give this one a miss because they are clearly preying on people seeking the lowest cost. It's not good value.
