The hotel is new and staff was extremely friendly. a gentleman name Vernon maybe? was working and was able to get us an early check in for my daughter's dance recital- which was SO EXTREMELY helpful. His kindness and friendlinesss really made my day. I would come back again just to deal with him again. Thank you! The location was excellent as it was right across from port theathre where we were dancing. The happy hour pricing was excellent and affordable.

Nanaimo was a little city that is spread far apart, but everything you need is 10mins away
The homelessness issue rears its head all around Nanaimo but not as aparant as Vancouver!
A lot of OLD buildings with a lot of CLOSED but there is a bunch of construction, so I am wondering if the city will soon rebuild?

Nanaimo is a cool little city.
Nanaimo is a cool little city. Depending on the goal of your trip renting a vehicle is recommended, since the city is spread out. As well there is much to see in surrounding areas. With the ocean, mountains and forest this community is surrounded by nature and beauty!

We had a great dinner at Firehouse Grill and fantastic coffee at Regards Coffee and the walk along the waterfront was nice but nothing super special, in all honesty it's kind of a dreary, quiet place that isn't very pretty. Maybe it has way more to offer than what meets the eye but I truly wouldn't care to stay there for more than a night passing through.

There was a couple of RATS outside by the pool but they stayed away from people. The hot tub wasn’t working either. But the pool was GLORIOUS and the room was clean to perfection. It was a nice place to sleep in!

I didn't see much of Nanaimo, just Petraglyph Park, before heading to Victoria. This side of Nanaimo was quiet, and I left very early. One great thing about South Nanaimo is its proximity to the Duke Point Ferry - a short drive. Also, the lack of nightlife meant my visit was quiet.
I would recommend visiting Petraglyph Park. It's not easy to find it, you have to be driving on the northbound side, but it's beautiful. I've enjoyed other aspects of Nanaimo in the past, especially the Woodgrove area, and I've found people there very friendly.

Lots of parking available in Nanaimo downtown, ( dont park on yellow band or else you get ticket) and walk around harbor and see sea plane takes off and landing. lots of trails to explore. you can catch fish on the shore.
right downtown it is our regular point to stop while on transit on or off Vancouver Island. there is a vibrant restaurant scene, art and a water front walk all there. the hotel itself has choice of fine dining, a bar. there is nothing outstanding about it, but the view from some of the rooms, but it is handy, reliably clean and friendly. good value for the cost.
I was a bit resistant to book a motel at first due to the impression I had from TV shows. But after staying at this hotel, I found it exceeded my expectations. I could feel that the owner must be very detail-oriented and clean. I really enjoyed the stay at Buccaneer Inn. I will come back if I had the chance to come back Nanaimo..
The property was right by the lake, pet friendly. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was included, but “to go” due to current health restrictions. Rentals for kayaks, pedal boat and paddle board were reasonable. There were two grills available near the dock for barbecues which guests can use free of charge.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Spot Hotel, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by the staff members who went above and beyond to make my stay memorable.
The room has a kitchenet. It was spacious enough and the bed was comfortable. The location was far from Nanaimo downtown (25 mins drive approx) but walmart, Save On Foods etc. were on a 5 mins drive and Real Canadian Store was just across the street.
Overall, a nice place to stay.
Easy access to the waterfront and 2 on site restaurants. Helpful staff. Hotel is undergoing aome renovations, so, some interruptions accepted. I arrived early and they gladly kept my luggage until I could check in. Good coffee in room with single cup coffee machine.
I love this hotel! Love the location and the staff is always the best! Thank you to all of you for excellent customer service. Also the restaurant is always consistent in providing excellent breakfast options. Thank you!
Location was excellent, with walkway to the water, park and piers. We did not need our car to enjoy downtown Nanaimo from the hotel. Easy to to drive away from the hotel to the North and south.
The staff were super friendly (the lady at breakfast was especially lovely) - best cheaper hotel we stayed in over 3 weeks having stayed in everything from Fairmont's etc over 3 weeks.
Had a beautiful upscale room that we had booked in advance, which fully lived up to our expectations. Staff were very courteous, helpful and showed real pride in their hotel.
