This body of water is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Nanaimo. But Long Lake isn't the area's only highlight. Vancouver Island University, Woodgrove Shopping Centre, and Departure Bay Beach are some other worthwhile sights close by.

The room was quite budget for sure, but it was okay for our purposes and we weren't there long, so could put up with it. Wasn't as we expected, though. The fellow on the desk was quite out-of-it. He did give us a refund because something didn't work, which we appreciated. He was very nice, but... If you want to save money and don't mind 'budget', you will be okay.

Was not enough hot water for hot tub and shower. Breakfast was below average and had to go pick it up myself. Room is already so expensive.
