Sea Edge Beachside Hotel

Sea Edge Beachside Hotel ★★★★

📍 209 Island Hwy W, Parksville

"I would describe myself as a “non-guest” as I reserved and booked here, thinking it was a dog-accepting hotel. But at checkin, there was a sign “no dogs in rooms” - so I was in a quandary. When I iexclaimed at my confusion and error, the receptionist was totally cool and maximum helpful - he called a sister hotel, transferred my reservation and payment to them, pre-checked me in, and  never broke a swear, just “happy to help ma’am. “ Great service! Excellent staff!  Thanks so much!"

Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo

Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo ★★

📍 315 Rosehill St, Nanaimo

"We only book this hotel after we got off the ferry. We were glad that we came to this hotel when there were only a few rooms left in two hotels nearby. The room is spacious with a balcony. We can enjoy the sunset view here. The noise from the main road was a bit noisy. In the first night we had the air conditioning on, but it was a bit noisy. Then we turned it off, somehow the noise from the road was still acceptable. The service at front desk was great. We booked the room only minutes before we checked in and the check in was very smooth and quick. We extended one more night before midnight, and the transition was very easy. We can stay in the same room. The deposit can be transferred for the 2nd night by filling one more paper. The bathtub was spacious for two people, but it doesn’t have light there, so it’s a bit dim. The shampoo and shower gel given were Dove, only the tooth brush and paste were not provided. There was a TV in our room with a TV box, but we didn’t use it. As we watched our own movies on our iPad. The only downside was the breakfast provided limited choices with only sausage patty, omelettes with cheese, cereal with milk, drinks from the coffee machine and fruits. And we used the laundry on site. They charged CAD4 for washing without providing a detergent, another CAD4 for drying clothes. I think it’s overcharged. We felt safe staying in this hotel, although we didn’t ask for the room cleaning, but the cleaner still came when we were out. Nothing was found missing. Only the bathroom towels and the tissue box were replaced with new ones. The car park here is free to use, no need to reserve."

Diplomat Motel Hotels in Nanaimo

Diplomat Motel

"Although I requested room cleaning service in the morning, they didn’t do anything. Hence, I called the front desk around 5PM, and then he said it’s busy, so no time to do cleaning. If I didn’t call, I think I couldn’t even get a new towel. Also the homeless people walk around the parking lot and make noises."

Casa Grande Inn Hotels in Nanaimo

Casa Grande Inn

"Very clean and comfortable room, very nice sea view from window as well as balcony. Very smart check in method for both guest and receptionist! Communication by email with guest is also very helpful!"

Crown Mansion Boutique Hotel & Villas Hotels in Nanaimo

Crown Mansion Boutique Hotel & Villas

"Our villa (condo) was huge, bright, spotless and very well appointed. WE appreciated the attention to detail such as the welcome note and goodies basket. Lovely soft linens - very comfortable bed and, although we didn't use it a well stocked kitchen. The location is perfect, close to the ocean and a 3 min. drive to Qualicum village. The manager Michelle was vey helpful and pleasant. Some small issues should be addressed. The shower could do with some liquid soap and attention to the blinds in terms of ease of opening and closing them would be appreciated. Also, the TVs and boxes should be updated."

Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort Hotels in Nanaimo

Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort

"The location is convenient, the environment is nice, and the facilities are complete, making it a good choice for a family vacation. However, I have a few complaints: First, the cleanliness is not good enough. There are yellow stains around the toilet, the sofa is covered in dog hair, and the curtains are bright even before 4 pm. Also, check-in is at 4 pm and check-out is at 10 am. Is this charging for 24 hours when it's only 18 hours?"

Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo ★★
"Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. The hotel is on a main road but we didn’t hear traffic at all. The hotel isn’t the newest one in town but it’s well maintained. The included breakfast is a bonus but keep your expectations low and you will enjoy it more. Kids enjoy the waffle maker. Overall the hotel is one of the best value in town. You could pay more and not get a better place in the end. Probably need to pay double for a nicer place so if you’re just staying a few nights this is the best place in town."
