Staff was friendly upon checking in. Our room was ready upon arrival as well. The hotel was very dated. Our room was clean but had a strange smell. The bathroom was no bigger than an oversized closet. The toilet rocks back and forth and bathroom “fan” sounds like a cement mixer. No gym and the pool was small. I would go elsewhere but due to a local event, the good hotels are full. You can’t put lipstick on a pig.

The bed was was shaky and very uncomfrtable. Woke up the next morning to find ants on our bed side table after not having any food in the room. I wish I would have looked at reviews first. The "breakfast" was far from breakfast. Don't waist your money.

At Check in we kindly asked the hotel reception for a late check out. He said the best he could do was 12, we said sure thanks we will do that.. the next morning a different receptionist called at 11:30 demanding we leave and that we did not ask for a late check out.. I was calm and said I would never stay later without getting the late check out. The receptionist was then very abbrasive and rude said we have 15 min or he is charging us another night. My wife was in the shower and no longer had time to get ready. I’m shocked he could not just give us the other 15 minutes. Never have I been treated so horribly at a hotel. And to top it off the room was disgusting. Sticky floors. Smelled musty and there was huge dips in the floors covered up with retro carpet. NEVER STAY HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED HORRIBLY AND HAVE A NASTY ROOM. Because of hotel staff miscommunication my wife and I are angry and she is getting ready in the car all over 15 min

The staff is professional and courteous. The building is worn, dated, the internet is subpar, the rooms are uncomfortable. The location is a bit out of the way with a driveway turn-in that is borderline dangerous. You can do better.

Kajm3000, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. Your feedback is very important to us, and I am saddened to hear that we failed to meet your expectations. We are presently starting the process of repairing and replacing many of the issues that you mentioned. Please note that we have two entrances to our property.

Great property, wish the breakfast was better. I stayed on the main level and the room itself was very nice. I do wish the doors we're a bit heavier, I kept pushing expecting it to be heavy and having it slam against the wall behind it.

There have been several comments about the $200 security fee. After my wife checked us in she wanted to know if we were paying $400+ for the night. She went back to the front desk and they explained it to her. We are not rookies when it comes to hotels. This is our 9th hotel on this trip. They have been Hilton's, Best Western, Holiday Inn, Marriott, and other Wyndham hotels. The others had a fee of $100. The fee was originally charged to cover room service or mini bar. Those days are gone. Some of the manager's replies are quite cavalier - it's not our fault if the card company is slow in releasing the money back. He charged an excess in the first place. It might be security against damage or theft. But what percentage of guests are guilty of that? The towels are not worth $200, nor is the furniture. The room deserved 4 stars, and the manager 0 stars = average 2 stars.

Tim, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. Your feedback is very important to us, and I am saddened to hear that our Security Deposit policy conflicts with your personal view. Unfortunately the amount of the deposit we require is a function of our past experiences, and at this time, it is set at $200.00. We do appreciate your point of view and will review our Security Deposit policy over the winter, as we regularly review all of our Customer Service policies. Perhaps you might see a change on your next stay with us. Here at Days Inn, we continuously strive to meet your needs and expectations. We appreciate the time you took to share your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the future. Thank you again, Rob G. Maager

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. Your feedback is very important to us, and I am saddened to hear that you had a rash. For your information, Swimmer's Itch is a rash that can occur after you go swimming or wading outdoors. It's most common after being in freshwater lakes and ponds, but you can get it in saltwater too. it is rarely contracted by using indoor pools as the parasite that causes Swimmer's Itch is released into the water by snails. The last time I looked, we has no snails, or any wild animals, in our swimming pool. If you were staying with us during a busy weekend, you may have had a reaction to the higher than usual levels of disinfection chemicals that would have been in the water. Please rest assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the problem and prevent any future occurrences. Here at Days Inn, we continuously strive to meet your needs and expectations. We appreciate the time you took to share your concerns, and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the future. Thank you, Rob G. Manager

The hotel seemed older than the pictures online but the service we received from one gentleman up at the front desk was extremely helpful. I would stay here again knowing the service I had was amazing. There is a musty smell throughout the room not sure if it was from the last people that stayed or if it was just place.
