Front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and very comfortable. The shower was great! It was a nice surprise to have breakfast included with our rooms. The lovely restaurant hostess (I forgot her name, it was German I believe) was very, very nice. more

We stayed at this motel for 2 nights while touring southern Vancouver Island. The motel was extremely reasonably priced and located just off the main highway, close to downtown and the harbour. On checking in, we were given a room that smelled of smoke, even though it was supposed to be non-smoking. We asked for another room and were quickly... more

I prepaid through Travelocity, but the rude morning staffer tried to charge me again because I used my credit card as a security deposit - they charge $250 if you pay cash. Without asking me, he put the charge through on check out - when I told him I prepaid, he became abusive, refused to give me a statement, and... more

Another Fastball tournament for our 11&12 year olds. I picked this hotel because it had an outdoor heated pool. Gives the girls team an opportunity to cool off after a long day of ball. The hotel is an older hotel but they have done a decent job to keep it clean and tidy. We were in a room really close... more

Hojo Nanaimo is a pretty decent hotel. They just added a new gym facility underneath the hotel - the gym is brand new and quite large, and available for all guests - I thought it was a good feature. Rates are good and reasonable. They're doing quite a bit of development around the downtown area, like across the road and... more

The rooms are adequately equipped however could use pay per view movies. As stated in earlier reviews and is an older hotel and could use... more

From the outside this hotel is ugly, in fact I think I've seen nicer looking prisons! However, the reception staff are charming, the pool is pleasant, the cold beer and wine store adjacent is very useful and the rooms, although a little dated, are clean and comfortable. On arrival the location looks quite unpleasant with a main highway on one... more

The location is good. Pool is nice. In general the hotel's interior is old and dated. Needs to be updated. Had trouble making phone calls. more

The good: the hotel was very clean and staff were friendly. The bad: the hotel was located between a liquor store and a bus depot; I watched a transient dig through the garbage of the liquor store, watched two youths drinking beer on the hillside behind the hotel, watched people wander from the bus depot thru the back lot of... more
