7.8/10 Good! (711 reviews)
It is typical 3 star property, our rooms have kitchenette. The staff are 5 star, attentive and accommodating to please the guest. Special thanks to Chrissy. The place meets our needs as a group, so surprised that they are affiliated with Paradise Mini Golf Club that our group of 11 enjoyed complementary games too. It was a great visit in Nanaimo, husbands played golf while wives enjoyed shopping and strolling the nearby beaches.
