The check-in lady was wonderful. The mentality of the motel seems to be to cater to the worst client they ever had and to treat people that way. With the exception of the check-in lady. The checkout lady should not be dealing with the public. The walls are thin and it's a pretty loud location. The cleaning staff also has no problem barging right into your suite.

Older, but main bedroom was clean. Keurig coffee a nice touch. Bathroom could use some TLC, light fixtures updated. But for overnight the price was right.

A gem in the downtown section of Nanaimo. Unless you have road side accommodation it's very quiet and clean. Helpful front desk and close to ferry and banks, etc.
