We usually stay at a different hotel when we visit Nanaimo, however it is being renovated and our last experience was less than positive. So, this year we decided to try something new. Our criteria: Pet Friendly, Clean and Quiet, Reasonable Rates. We stayed in a King Sized Suite for four days (Room #106) the rates were very reasonable and... More

It's not an overly fancy hotel, but that being said the staff are excellent and the rooms are nice and great for business travel. I have found that the downtown area in Nanaimo can be a little seedy, so it's nice to be away from that area. The room rates are great and there's ample parking and tons of restaurant... More

I'm checking out this morning after a 5 night stay. As usual it's all good. This hotel serves up a good conti breakfast from 6:30-9:00. The hotel is across the street from Super store. Within a block there are a number of places to eat at. The parking here is very good. Plus easy access to the highway. The staff... More

We stayed at the BW Northgate for one night prior to flying out early the next morning. Our check-in was very smooth, the front desk staff where polite and helpful. There were 2 sports teams checking in and we requested a room as far from the teams as possible because they tend to be very noisy and we had a... More

We were in Room 314 which is on the highway side and closest to the next door pub. Try and avoid this side of the hotel if you can as you can hear a fair amount of road noise (day and night) and when the pub closes there is noise from the patrons. We were not able to get a... More

Location not in a scenic spot but in a shopping area near superstore and a bit close to main highway at the north end of town. There was no noise from the highway at night with the fan on. It was a perfect location as our base to go explore Coombs, Cathedral Grove, Qualicum Falls and Port Alberni the next... More

Stayed recently during a trip to the Island. Had a nice, roomy double that was very comfy and quiet. Staff were great at the front desk, housekeeping seemed to miss a few things though... found stuff behind the bathroom door and in the bedside drawers which was disappointing. Things did look very well kept otherwise. Never made it for the... More

The check-in is done in a very professionally way. The clerk was more than good by any research required. She was very patient and very supportive. And what about the room. A nice clean room. A complete kitchen with all the necessary dishes. The bathroom was "spic & span". A beautiful vegetation hid the road back of the room. By... More

e stayed at the Northgate Best Western on August 15 and had a wonderful stay. The rooms were very clean, up to date and were a great value for the money we spent. Front desk service was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone travelling through Nanaimo. What a lovely city and a great trip. More
