Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great experience here - the front desk staff were super helpful and very pleasant and the room was spacious and clean. The location was great - but there was traffic noise at all hours. Possibly the rooms facing the back of the hotel would be quieter."
