The family room was literally a big house behind the hotel and the suite was roomy, new and clean. This house was a step up from a hotel room, it felt like a home and it was way above expectations. The photos did not do the ad justice... The staff were accommodating, knowledgeable and aim to please. I recommend the family room., even if it's just 2 people. It's way more square feet with a view and secure and gated parking area just for the family suites.

The ferry to Nanaimo was full - so we were later arriving than expected and tired - we got such a warm welcome!! Has the lovely feel of a small business- every team member we met was smiling! You cannot check in after 11pm - so bear this in mind if travelling by ferry ( we just made it!)

The first impression of the property is one of displeasure but we stayed in the family suite. This suite is a renovated duplex that was awesome a d for the same price of a regular hotel room but is was a two bedroom house with full conveniences of home. It was AWESOME!!!

There are little too many homeless and drug users but inside of the room is renovated and pretty clean. Staffs are all nice people.

Disliked: Cleanliness
It appears this motel is under renovations slowly. The pictures on Expedia and online did not reflect the room I was in. My room had old stained carpet, suspicious discoloration in the shower, and burn holes in the decorative bedding. The one plus side is that it was quiet. Just to be aware when booking.
