Hotel berhampiran Harry Wipper Park, Nanaimo

There’s no denying that this hotel needs an update and all the junk clearing out the reception area. It is dated and at first sight, it puts you off staying there. You cannot say that the receptionists are unfriendly, it’s just they don’t engage with their clients and the result is that they do not seem welcoming. The rooms are dated too, microwaves stacked on top of fridges that can trip the fuses and “black out” your room. The ensuite looks and feels old with noisy inefficient extract fans. On the plus side, the beds are very comfortable, well serviced and clean as are the rooms but that dated look detracts and the lighting is dire. Dire too is the heating and AC, grossly inefficient and virtually uncontrollable. There are minimal supplies in the room but the coffee machine delivers really good coffee. No kettle but reception have one on request. The restaurant food is very good but throughout our week in the hotel, it always had few customers. I suspect the reason for that is that it is very expensive as are the wines and drinks. Too expensive by far for such an establishment and whilst the food was very good, it was not of high enough standard to demand these prices. I would have liked to dine there more often but there are good less expensive restaurants a short drive away and many bar restaurants a short walk over the road. Would I go back again? Well, yes but it would be a bed for the night only. I think they are missing a trick here at many levels or they are not interested in making this establishment better. It has so much potential, such a shame.

景色宜人！那片沙灘說是有象拔蚌，去挖了幾次都沒有收穫…可能是我們水平不行。樓下餐廳有小棚子，晚餐可以預定。

We booked the Quality Inn Nanaimo for our stopover stay on the Island. This hotel is very new and the deco is modern and bright. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Our check-in wasn’t smooth and took us much longer than anticipated as the staff encountered technical issues. We didn’t get to sign on the official registration but a paper with check-in details written by hand. Our room was located on the 3rd floor over looking the parking lot of an low-rise office building. The size of the guest room is spacious and the bathroom is bright and clean. Unlike other Quality Inns, this one doesn’t offer continental breakfast in the morning and there isn’t any breakfast eateries within walking distance. The hotel offers free all day coffee and tea in the lobby but it wasn’t appealing as the station seemed messy and dirty. Besides, the hotel offers free gated parking for their guests but the spots is limited. There are just around 20 spots in total and is on a first-come-first-serve basis. We ended up walking to the dinner restaurant as we don’t want to lose our spot when we come back later in the evening. In the lobby, there is a small room that serves alcohol and chicken wings starting from 5pm. Although they played loud music trying to create a bar atmosphere, the setup of the space is much more like a breakfast room/cafe. We didn’t eat or drink there. Overall, it is a good hotel to stay if you are in the Nanaimo area.

My family and I just recently stayed here. We had a great time. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and worked very hard to make the hotel run well. They kept everything very clean and were quick to help us when we needed it. The bed was a bit hard for my tastes but my husband and kids all slept great. Breakfast in the morning was simple but freshly made. There were muffins, cereals, breads to toast, scrambled eggs, sausage, fruit, yougurt, and a few other things. The hotel is only a 20 min drive to the ferry as well so that is a nice bonus. I highly recommend staying here.

The Sea Edge is right on the beach, steps away from everything you need, and the view is UNREAL. You can’t get a better location for the price. The staff was accommodating, Eileen was amazing. This will be our go-to Parksville motel going forward.

We had a great time. The staff is friendly and helpful, offering good informatiin for island activities. (highway closure, local acyivities and such) The pool is a little cold but there is a nice hot tub jacuzzi option. The pools hours of availability are terrific, and allowed for plenty of time for fun The breakfast available with the stay offers a good basic variety of hard boiled eggs, cereals, toast and bagels juice and coffee or tea. Just one suggestiin would be to add aniyher ice machine, otherwise we are happy with our stay and found everything clean and enjoyable Again such friendly and helpful staff throughout. Thank you Days Inn Nanaimo
