Amazing staff and nice big room, they did a good job on the renovations since the last time i stayed. They allow animals with no restrictions on dogs. We didnt leave the room after dark cause of the homeless and drug addicts thay were roaming around. Well letting our dogs go to the bathroom we found a few needles and baggies with powder in it. Ither then that no complaints at all and would book there again.

It was an adequate stop over for a family but the walls were so dirty in the kitchen I washed them myself. Bedrooms were nice and comfy. Bathroom was nice (windowsill rotting though). Staff were friendly and gave me laundry soap when I asked so I could use the coin laundry. Neighbourhood is a bit iffy but so is most of Nanaimo I guess. Lots of homeless and drug use in the surrounding areas.

For the price range the room offered everything I could want. The only issue for me was there wasnt a tub for a bath.
