Pros:
Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
I'd been here before and enjoyed it, so I had fairly high expectations, and this stay fulfilled them. The front desk and cleaning staff were very attentive and helpful. I liked the spacious room and the harbour view. I will go back.

Island vacation
Nice hotel, no issues except parking. Walk to just about everything. Good location to investigate island.

Old Nanaimo landmark
A heritage building from the 1900s, the Dorchester is centrally located in the harbor of this ""Harbour City."" No frills, straightforward accomodation - like the city itself. Room heater a bit too agressive even for the winter. Very friendly staff!
