After a long journey from Seattle we were looking for a restful nights' sleep in Nanaimo. At 10:00 PM we checked into the Grand Hotel Nanaimo as it was close to the care residence my parents live. Needless to say, we experienced the worst evening in any property we have stayed at anywhere, worldwide. The party two rooms down and... more

We recently stayed the the Grand Hotel in Nanaimo. We found the food to be excellent and the service was fantastic. The rooms were very clean and the bed was more comfortable than what I have at home. This was the best stay I have ever had in a hotel. The staff is so friendly, the overall experience was excellent. more

We stayed three nights at the Grand Hotel Nanaimo. I booked the Deluxe room with 2 queen beds, fireplace, jetted tub, balcony, "extra spacious." It was $199.xx per night (including tax). I spoke with a Laura on the phone to make the reservation, and she was delightful, helpful and extremely cordial. The hotel is a good ways from the Harbourwalk... more

We just returned from 2 weeks in Washington state and Vancouver Island. The trip was unplanned and unscripted. Since i usually use tripadvisor extensively I feel duty bound to write a true objective view of every place we visit. For the trip we just finished I did not have time to plan and make reservations. So it was a pleasant... more

When in Nanaimo it is difficult to find a quality hotel with comfortable beds. Not anymore now that we have discovered the Grand Hotel on Rutherford Hill. The staff was very freindly and courtous through out our stay. We even had a swim in the pool which was a little cold for us Texans but at a normal tempature for... more

What a gem we found on a little hill in Nanaimo. The Grand Hotel gave us one of the most pleasant experiences I have ever had. From the moment we arrived the staff here treated us like kings and queens. Everytime they saw us they were smiling and greeting us. Our room was overlooking a beautiful garden and rock ridge.... more
