Nanaimo was a little city that is spread far apart, but everything you need is 10mins away The homelessness issue rears its head all around Nanaimo but not as aparant as Vancouver! A lot of OLD buildings with a lot of CLOSED but there is a bunch of construction, so I am wondering if the city will soon rebuild?BlakeCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0
Nanaimo is a cool little city.
Nanaimo is a cool little city. Depending on the goal of your trip renting a vehicle is recommended, since the city is spread out. As well there is much to see in surrounding areas. With the ocean, mountains and forest this community is surrounded by nature and beauty!NatashaCanada - 6.0Scored 6.0

We had a great dinner at Firehouse Grill and fantastic coffee at Regards Coffee and the walk along the waterfront was nice but nothing super special, in all honesty it's kind of a dreary, quiet place that isn't very pretty. Maybe it has way more to offer than what meets the eye but I truly wouldn't care to stay there for more than a night passing through.ChelseaCanada - 10Scored 10

There was a couple of RATS outside by the pool but they stayed away from people. The hot tub wasn’t working either. But the pool was GLORIOUS and the room was clean to perfection. It was a nice place to sleep in!DavidCanada - 6.0Scored 6.0

I didn't see much of Nanaimo, just Petraglyph Park, before heading to Victoria. This side of Nanaimo was quiet, and I left very early. One great thing about South Nanaimo is its proximity to the Duke Point Ferry - a short drive. Also, the lack of nightlife meant my visit was quiet. I would recommend visiting Petraglyph Park. It's not easy to find it, you have to be driving on the northbound side, but it's beautiful. I've enjoyed other aspects of Nanaimo in the past, especially the Woodgrove area, and I've found people there very friendly.CluckyCanada - 10Scored 10

The reception staff went beyond our expectations to ensure our requests were met and were very pleasant people, as were all staff that we encountered in the hotel .

I was told that the on site restaurant would open at 7 AM, but in fact it was not ready to open until 8:30 AM Too late for my circumstances. It was a long we can, and the hotel was Understaffed. The staff were doing the best they could , but The service did not rise to the cost I was paying.
AnsleyCanada - From $143.20 per night7.1Scored 7.1GoodRated good· 1,052 reviewsNice big room, close to nanaimo city center (less than 10min to walk), good price, helpful staff. Laundry is possible, but only in self service. Good point to visit many things in the surroundings (from Parksville to Chemainus many parks with a roughly 30min drive, North Island Wild Recovery Center is worth a visit!)StefanAustria
