Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo, hotel in Nanaimo

This harbour-view Nanaimo hotel, located on Vancouver Island, is about 5.5 kilometers from the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal and 10 kilometers from the Duke Point Ferry Terminal.

They let us drop our bags off earlier in the day and put them in storage which was very helpful and then delivered them to the room in the evening.

Cranberry Arms Pub and Hotel, hotel in Nanaimo

Set in Nanaimo, within 48 km of Maple Bay and 8.1 km of Nanaimo Museum, Cranberry Arms Pub and Hotel offers accommodation with a bar and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive....

Nicely finished, very clean and fresh. Seems to have recently been refinished and was very tastefully done. Friendly staff, but very limited. If you’re looking for a great place to sleep and get a meal or a drink at a very reasonable rate, I’d definitely recommended it, but I would not suggest staying here if you looking for concierge services or other amenities. It was exactly what I was looking for, would have liked to have stayed longer and spent time at the pub!

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    We were not able to enjoy the breakfast, but we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend to anyone! The hotel, parking, rooms, etc, were all new and lovely! We asked for a couple bottles of water and the kind man at the front desk provided them, which we thought was a nice touch. The secured underground parking helped make our visit to Nanaimo safe and enjoyable!

    The property was right by the lake, pet friendly. Rooms were clean. Breakfast was included, but “to go” due to current health restrictions. Rentals for kayaks, pedal boat and paddle board were reasonable. There were two grills available near the dock for barbecues which guests can use free of charge.

    Great location right by the ocean and in close proximity to many shops, cafes, historic sites, etc. The rooms facing the harbour give you scenic views. The restaurants inside the hotel are convenient and have delicious food. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly and willing to help.

    The location is pretty convenient to the downtown area, and it's about C$20 cheaper than 2* hotels with private rooms. The shared kitchen is nice for camaraderie but the stoves are in poor repair and the equipment (knives etc.) is crap.

    The location and the ambiance of the hotel was the best part. The breakfast was not upto the mark...but I won't complain much about it as it was not bad...just not up to the mark compared to the other facilities of this property.
