Travelodge by Wyndham Nanaimo
8.3 (134 reviews)

Travelodge by Wyndham Nanaimo ★★

📍 96 Terminal Ave N, Nanaimo

"The location is quite good; there's a direct bus from the pier. The room was clean and even had an induction cooker, a balcony, and a large bed. My only complaint is the included free breakfast – no bread, only cake. And I stayed for three days and still didn't get any bread for breakfast; it was just those muffin-like cakes. Bread seems quite cheap, so why wasn't it included? Also, please note that the hotel doesn't provide slippers."

Sea Edge Beachside Hotel
9.1 (103 reviews)

Sea Edge Beachside Hotel ★★★★

📍 209 Island Hwy W, Parksville

"Good value for money! Newly renovated rooms very close to the beach! I love the beautiful views and handheld shower and coffee machine at the lounge.  Everything is perfect. The only complain would be that the walls are quite thin and you cam hear noise from neighbour units but ear plugs may solve the issue."

Painted Turtle Guesthouse
8.0 (74 reviews)

Painted Turtle Guesthouse ★★

📍 121 Bastion St, Nanaimo

"Right in the middle of town, excellent location! Quick access to public parking and eateries. Friendly front desk staff. Free towels! Large kitchen, multiple fridges. I had a great time here, for 3 nights! Will stay again!"

Inn on Long Lake
8.8 (102 reviews)

Inn on Long Lake ★★

📍 4700 North Island Highway, Nanaimo

"Staff greeted us very nicely. The location was nice and relaxing. For amenities, barbecue is not open which we looked forward to have smores. But everything else is okay."

Quality Inn
8.6 (104 reviews)

Quality Inn ★★

📍 440 Selby St, Nanaimo

"There were a lot of minor issues: the curtains would fall off as soon as I pulled them; the bathroom exhaust fan could only be turned on, not off (it's supposed to be centrally controlled, but it's not really); it was incredibly loud; and I spent ages trying to figure out how to turn on the hot water. The new receptionist was a bit greasy."

Sea Edge Beachside Hotel ★★★★
"I would describe myself as a “non-guest” as I reserved and booked here, thinking it was a dog-accepting hotel. But at checkin, there was a sign “no dogs in rooms” - so I was in a quandary. When I iexclaimed at my confusion and error, the receptionist was totally cool and maximum helpful - he called a sister hotel, transferred my reservation and payment to them, pre-checked me in, and  never broke a swear, just “happy to help ma’am. “ Great service! Excellent staff!  Thanks so much!"

Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo ★★
"Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. The hotel is on a main road but we didn’t hear traffic at all. The hotel isn’t the newest one in town but it’s well maintained. The included breakfast is a bonus but keep your expectations low and you will enjoy it more. Kids enjoy the waffle maker. Overall the hotel is one of the best value in town. You could pay more and not get a better place in the end. Probably need to pay double for a nicer place so if you’re just staying a few nights this is the best place in town."
