Located within a few minutes drive from Departure Bay Ferry Terminal, this was perfect for our overnight stay before heading onwards. The hotel room was clean and spacious with very good amenities (eg. small kitchen area including stove, microwave and fridge) for the price. Thanks to the friendly staff for the easy check-in and check-out!

This was a very comfortable motel close to the ferry in Nanaimo. Our heater wasn’t working and management provided a portable unit until they could repair it the following day. Most appreciated. We enjoyed the separate sitting area with tv and cooking facility, although we didn’t do any cooking. We would most definitely stay again.

Beautiful King room/suite, with everything you need, lovely and clean. The staff are super pleasant and very helpful. Just an overnight stop to catch the ferry next day at the terminal which is just across the road. This Inn is a 'hidden gem', we will definitely stay longer next time!

Nice motel for a great price. Quiet. Room was very clean but a little small. Very close to the ferry to Horseshoe Bay. Great bar just down the street. Front desk staff was super friendly. A little away from downtown but a very easy drive.
