I'm very happy with the cleanliness of the room. That's the number one thing for me! Even the bathroom is sparkling clean 😲. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful when checking us in. She even tolerated my husband's jokes. I love the huge table area in the room with plenty of space to unpack our things. Could've used some clothes hangers though, but not a big deal. We will stay here again, if and when I return to Nanaimo.
