Comfort stay and reasonable price.

Good location, central to a lot of Nanaimo. A little away from the noise of the highway, but close enough for easy access. Nanaimo North Mall very close with lots of restaurants too. Nice little balcony to enjoy a coffee on in the morning.

The bathtub/shower floor has lost it's non slip coating right where you might stand when showering. I found out the hard way and fell. Tried to stop fall with hand grab rail but to no avail. Used my right fore arm and wrist on the right hand side of the tub wall. When I landed on my backside my right fore arm and hand contacted the inner curtain and that simply pulled down both curtains and the curtain rod that was not properly attached to the shower walls. The rod came down at an angle with quite a severe thump to my head. I had no fractures from the fall or the falling rod so I finally made it out of the tub. All this around 7am. The curtain rod in 421 needs replacement by experienced Maintenance personnel as the rod was improperly installed as it just slipped from the walls as it fell. My wife and I packed and left hotel asap. This incident and silver fish on the bathroom floor when the bathroom light is turned on at night. Leaves me no alternative but to contact the Hotel Manager to ensure no one else has this problem and to discuss some compensation.
