Front desk wasn’t friendly. Told restaurant was closed the day I checked in but it’s permanently closed. Told that there were no food delivery services in town -not true. Paid extra for dog, then told that dog wasn’t allowed in central garden. No ice. Room stark. Located on busiest street in sketchy neighbourhood. Cable didn’t work. Limited time on internet. Couldn’t check out fast enough! Never again!

Urban spot but clean and inexpensive.
We were in Nanaimo for a ball tournament. We're gone from 8 till 8 so the room is just for crashing until the next day of games. We were looking for clean and inexpensive (since we're not spending any time other than bedtime) and the Port O Call has been our choice for a few years now. The rooms are small but the beds are comfortable. Friendly front desk staff do their best to get you checked in quickly. It is in a busy urban area so bring ear plugs, not the Inn's fault people drive by loudly. :-) We happened to visit during a heat wave so the AC struggled a little but we slept well enough.

The person at the front desk was not very friendly especially when told we had two dogs. If you have an issue then don't be a pet friendly establishment. There was hair around the tub area, not ok.

Overall good cheap property to stay at for a few nights. The biggest problem was the loud open exhaust motorcycles speeding by the hotel at all hours of the day and night on Terminal Ave North.

It was a very clean and upgraded room. Beds are comfortable and motel is walking distance to downtown. Some improvements: providing some herbal teas and decaf coffee for those who do not use caffeine. One box of kleenex (tissue) per room.
