Eat & Drink
Guests can also taste Indian dishes served at Manvirro's Indian Grill, which is 300 metres away.
“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.”
