Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and well stocked with coffee and tea. The bed was very comfortable. This was the 2nd time in a week I stayed at the Ramada. The kitchen seemed a little overwhelmed, unfortunately they were out of the delicious cheese omelette. Minor detail, I did not have time to wait since I had to catch a ferry."

Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo

8/10 Good

"I did not like the fact that I received not a written print out of my actual charges from the hotel. Desk said there was an additional deposit that would be refunded but was evasive as to how much our when. Never saw a print out of registration our charges. I don't care for that practice."

Inn On Long Lake

8/10 Good

"Stayed 2 nights in the king suite lake view on the third floor with balcony. All units have a lake view but a couple units on ground floor will have partial obstruction from the gazebo that houses a hot tub and sauna. Room was clean, had very comfortable bed with a pillow menu. Room was a good size with desk, dressor and end table. Nice Keurig coffee maker, microwave and bar fridge with a freezer for the ice provided in lobby. Cozy robes in room to wear while enjoying a morning coffee on the balcony. Breakfast was continental as advertised but included toast, hard boiled eggs, good fruit selection and yougurt plus cereal. Shower had good pressure and included a massage shower head. We made use of the hot tub and sauna in the gazebo which also had a cold water dispenser, shower and towels for use. Didn't have time to use the gym, but I had a quick look and it is well equipped with a panoramic view of the lake. I launched my paddleboard from one of the docks and had a nice paddle. Beautiful well kept grounds and even has a doggy bag dispenser for the 4 legged guests. Not sure why the Inn is rated 2 stars. Possibly due to outside building appearance, but the rooms themselves as well as the lobby seemed to have been renovated fairly recently. I would definitely stay again :)"
