It was a decent enough place. Not one to hang out in, though. The beach nearby was great so we went out a lot

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

A comfortable stay in Ladysmith

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!

2.0 / 10.0

Would NOT recommend or return

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.

We had a last minute family invitation so stayed one night but paid for 2 as expected.

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.

I would come again.

Cozy appearance on outside.

Everything in Ladysmith is on a hill, so too getting in and out of the hotel😉

Holiday House Ladysmith Feb 2023

Very clean. Decent amenities. Location.

Guests upstairs very noisy arrival at 1030pm.

7.0 / 10.0

Good

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.

I quite enjoyed the chique look and the balcony view

parking was a little difficult with a truck/Dually truck

5.0 / 10.0

comfortable beds and clean room.

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

8.0 / 10.0

Pleasant.

Quiet. Polite welcoming employee.

More effort on decor.

5.0 / 10.0

an ok place to catch some sleep but by no means a destination motel.

close to all amenities. good bed. very clean.friendly front desk.

very very basic. close to highway- could be unacceptably noisy in warm months -ok this time of year

2.0 / 10.0

Wouldn’t stay here again

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

Very old and noisy motel

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

Way overpriced little shoddy hotel - avoid like the plague. More so.

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.

3.0 / 10.0

Poor

Lady stayed late for our late check in so that was very nice.

Very noisy. Close to two busy roads. Don't buy the breakfast from hotel. Its cheaper at the restaurant across the street which is where they send you!

3.0 / 10.0

Way over priced for what you received in accommodations compared to other units in the area.

Bedding was new and clean.

AC unit was old and nosy. Noisy traffic. Odor from age of building
