6.0 / 10.0
Easy check in and parking
The room was cold
5.0 / 10.0
Location was great. Bed was newer and comfortable. Room was clean.
In poor repair, both the building and site need to be updated properly (not piece meal). Noise from highway was overwhelming (not much effort into noise blocking (i.e. heavy curtains).

Kids had their own room
Nice central location
Fabulous staff (stayed late to let us in because the ferries were backed up)
On a noisy road (a/c helped drown it out)
Kitchen was very small
8.0 / 10.0
The location is very nice. It’s located a block down from the main part of town with shopping and restaurants readily accessible. There’s plenty of parking behind the motel. The people who run the motel are very friendly. The bed was comfortable and my room had a large balcony on which I could enjoy the evening.
While clean, it is in need of a bit of a refresh as the property is clearly several decades old. Not a major issue,but worth mentioning, I feel. Also, oddly, the taps in the shower were reversed so for the longest time I thought there was no hot water. When I decided to try the other way, voila, hot water!

Nothing
Smelly, unclean, shower head reaches the shoulders, kitchen is unusable, as when you turn a coil on the room fills with stinky smoke.
The kitchen and shower/bathroom are very small.

There was no breakfast. Staff helpful when asked. The view was lovely but the window was too close to the road to leave curtains open.
The road was very close and very noisy. Air conditioner also very noisy. There was no guest registration form to fill out which seemed strange so was told she had no information about what I paid. Was unable to get a receipt itemizing the cost of the stay. Told only Booking.com had that.

The room was adequate but decor and furnishings are tired. The price was a bit high considering the season and the next day we were in Victoria for $70 less per night. The owner was very friendly.
The tip function when paying for your stay. Why would we tip when we only arrived a few minutes ago and haven't even been to the room? I was shocked by this.

5.0 / 10.0
Friendly host, clean rooms
very dated, the road noise is constant and the rooms smell strongly of air freshener.
We had a family emergency and couldn’t find another hotel for love or money being a long weekend, we paid the same price in another hotel the next evening that we did here, it was over $200 for the night. Fine for a newer hotel with amenities like pools and free breakfast, but not so much for somewhere so dated and in need of TLC

very very basic. close to highway- could be unacceptably noisy in warm months -ok this time of year
2.0 / 10.0
I booked this location because there were no other accommodations available (my fault - I booked at the last minute). The location was good - just outside of Nanaimo (20 minutes drive) and close to the airport for those who are flying - but it was also right beside Highway 1 and the unit windows were facing the highway with traffic noise for most of the night.
The fixtures and furnishings were antiquated and in poor shape (except for the bed which had a comfortable mattress). The toilet ran throughout the night. Also, the towels, sheets, curtains and carpets were dingy.
3.0 / 10.0
Comfortable beds were the only positive point.
Very old, crooked furniture, extremely thin walls so you can hear the next room neighbor sneeze. First floor rooms very disturbed by the walking on second floor (the group above us came in at 2:00 am and kept their shoes on and moved furniture around and watched tv until 3:30, so no sleep for us)
Dirty bathtub, reddened shower curtain from mildew. No air conditioning, no heater on (very damp day), quite humid in the room, very close to the main busy road so trafic quite noisy. Reception desk very stuffed and messy and smelly.
Way too expensive for the value. Will not recommend and will certainly never return!

The lady who checked me in was very charming ! Made me feel very comfortable.
1.0 / 10.0
I travel extensively and this experience takes the cake for the least value for the room. It was SO expensive, and SO low brow. It really is a $79 a night sort of place - pretty shoddy. We paid over $700 for two rooms, and they also overcharged us another $200. I understand when there is high demand hotels can charge more, but this crappy little place could never be worth what we were charged. I just feel so ripped off.
