Bathroom had hair on the shower walls upon check in. The whole room smelled like Grandma's bsmt. Carpets need torn out. It's just time for an update. Whoever owns the hotel is stuck in the early 90's and it just is in bad need of an update. The furniture, like the couch, on the sitting area is so old. We changed hotels after a night

Liked: Cleanliness
This hotel is a nice hotel in a good location where you can easily walk around the nearby lake, or explore Nanaimo. It's an older hotel so it is dated, but the price is reasonable and the place is well cared for. The outdoor garden is delightful and a great place to relax or work!
