“This waterfront property in downtown Nanaimo stands out for its Refreshingly Local(TM) atmosphere and remarkable harbour views. I appreciate that they've prioritized pet-friendly accommodations and offer unique perks like in-house honey. Its flexible event spaces and proximity to transportation hubs make it a solid choice for business and leisure travelers alike.”

panoramic view comfy bed pet openness
I had a GREAT big room. It even had a panoramic view of the bay. The comfy bed was just AMAZING. I slept like a log! I also appreciated the openness to having pets.
The parking IS the worst. You should not worry about parking when you pay to stay somewhere.
