Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

Coast Bastion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My first review had a complaint about the lack of drawers in my room. When the staff read it, a maintenance worker appeared at my door with a modular chest of drawers to use for my stay along with a few other things. Very helpful people!! Updated from 4 stars to 5. Will stay here next time as well!"

Departure Bay Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This is not a high end motel, but it is clean and quiet. And I was there under a stressful circumstance (my husband was in critical care in the near by hospital) ... the staff were so understanding. I had to bring my cats because I didn't know how long I would be there. Big call out to the young woman who was on the desk when I arrived and checked out (Oct 30-31)... she was awesome. She REALLY deserves a bonus given her compassion."

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Oyster Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel if you’re flying out of Nanaimo as it’s less than a 10 minute drive to the airport. They even have a screen with all the flight info. The room and lobby were clean and the staff were excellent. The bedroom had a fridge and microwave, which were very convenient."
