“great place”

Reviewed May 11, 2013

I recently stayed one night in the Cozy Studio, which was quite big enough for me. It was a clean and attractive room with a comfortable bed. It had everything I needed. Even snacks were available in the room for a nominal fee. The hotel is accurately represented on the website. Marlene was very kind and helpful, as was the... More

“Excellent Value, Great Customer Service!”

Reviewed May 8, 2013

I recently stayed at the Buccaneer for two nights while on holiday in the Nanaimo area. The hotel is well situated; close to the ferry, right on the boardwalk within walking distance to many local parks, and with easy access to other points on the Island although located on a fairly busy road (only noticeable during ferry arrival and departure...

Reviewed April 30, 2013

In addition, the rooms are extremely comfortable and there are many thoughtful touches like cream in the fridge for your coffee. The owners are also sensitive to the environment. And with views of...

“1950's Motor Lodge”

Reviewed April 22, 2013

Staying at the Buccaneer Inn (Motel) in Nanaimo was like going back to a time when picture windows rattled because of passing traffic and shower heads were a mere 5 feet from the drain. The rooms need serious updating.

In all our promotional channels we tryour best to provide the most honest, accurate and forthright information about the accommodation and services we provide.

“Super Clean!”

Reviewed April 4, 2013

Locally owned and run. Older motel style inn, but very well maintained and immaculately clean. Large kitchenettes stocked with everything you need, just buy the groceries! They supply great coffee in your room as well. Beds are excellent. The place is a little noisy from the ferry traffic but the two rooms we stayed in have the bedroom in the... More
