“What this motel lacks in newness it more than makes up for in cleanliness and convenient access to Nanaimo's attractions, including Neck Point and Pipers Lagoon parks. I also appreciated the updated rooms, some with kitchenettes and living areas-a real plus for longer stays; plus, the friendly staff genuinely seem to care. For budget-conscious travelers who value location and cleanliness, it's a solid find.”
