Top Vancouver Island Military Museum Hotel Reviews

Inn On Long Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Nice spacious srooms, very clean, comfortable bed and beautiful view of the lake from each room. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food choices for breakfast abundant. Nice place. Would definitely stay again."

Gibralter Rock Ocean View B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean accommodations. Bed was very comfy and the view was amazing!"

Coast Bastion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and stop for a night in Nanaimo. Walkable to many services and restaurants."

Quality Inn

8/10 Good

"Basic room clean enough though I did find hair pieces in the bath. It is quite pricy for the basic room far from the center and quite up the hill. No breakfasts included. Since there are no shops and cafes near the hotel you end up getting the breakfast in the hotel restaurant which is just okay."

Buccaneer Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I thought I had booked a 2 bedroom hotel suite, and was surprised to find that we had an entire 3 bedroom house! Check-in was fast and friendly. The house was very roomy with a full kitchen, laundry, 3 good size bedrooms (1 king and 2 queen), 2 full bathrooms, comfy living room with fireplace and dining. It looked recently renovated and very clean. Beds were comfortable and the sheets were very soft. The only CONS were the towels could be replaced and the main bedroom was quite loud in the morning with traffic, as it faced onto Hwy 1 - and there were only 2 coffee pods, which was puzzling since the placed slept 6 people. Overall, a WONDERFUL stay!"

Departure Bay Motel

8/10 Good

"Bathroom pics were not the same as the ones posted online for my room. That was disappointing as my Bathroom looked nothing like the promoted pictures."

Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic breakfast each morning! Omelets, sausages, cereals, waffles, real juice (apple, orange, etc), fresh fruit. And coffee, tea, etc. toast and jams. The lady running the breakfast station worked like a whirlwind. She was a.azing! Well-organized and efficient. She deserves double wages."

Diplomat Motel

8/10 Good

The Spot

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute boutique hotel. Our room was inside through the lobby. Nice bedding, towels, big glass shower with rain shower head as well as a wand hand held shower. Great pressure. It's a small room, but great for the one night we were there. Front counter evening staff was very helpful and super friendly. Would definitely stay here again."
