Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo, hotel in Nanaimo

This harbor-view Nanaimo hotel, located on Vancouver Island, is about 3.4 miles from the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal and 6.2 miles from the Duke Point Ferry Terminal.

Pool and hot tub! Only good things plus Saranne our maid did a sculpture of love swans with towels. To make us feel better for lack of towel holders on no proper drinking cups.She also brought us more hangers with clips to hang towels off. I understand the request and complaints about towel bars goes on deaf ears of owners. Bed was comfortable! New bedding probably because of flood. Elderly lady who checked us out was thorough and professional!

Featuring a shared lounge, bar and views of city, Courtyard by Marriott Nanaimo is located in Nanaimo, a few steps from Nanaimo Museum.

The hotel is new and staff was extremely friendly. a gentleman name Vernon maybe? was working and was able to get us an early check in for my daughter's dance recital- which was SO EXTREMELY helpful. His kindness and friendlinesss really made my day. I would come back again just to deal with him again. Thank you! The location was excellent as it was right across from port theathre where we were dancing. The happy hour pricing was excellent and affordable.

    Nanaimo was a little city that is spread far apart, but everything you need is 10mins away The homelessness issue rears its head all around Nanaimo but not as aparant as Vancouver! A lot of OLD buildings with a lot of CLOSED but there is a bunch of construction, so I am wondering if the city will soon rebuild?

    Nanaimo is a cool little city.

    Nanaimo is a cool little city. Depending on the goal of your trip renting a vehicle is recommended, since the city is spread out. As well there is much to see in surrounding areas. With the ocean, mountains and forest this community is surrounded by nature and beauty!

    We had a great dinner at Firehouse Grill and fantastic coffee at Regards Coffee and the walk along the waterfront was nice but nothing super special, in all honesty it's kind of a dreary, quiet place that isn't very pretty. Maybe it has way more to offer than what meets the eye but I truly wouldn't care to stay there for more than a night passing through.

    There was a couple of RATS outside by the pool but they stayed away from people. The hot tub wasn’t working either. But the pool was GLORIOUS and the room was clean to perfection. It was a nice place to sleep in!

    I didn't see much of Nanaimo, just Petraglyph Park, before heading to Victoria. This side of Nanaimo was quiet, and I left very early. One great thing about South Nanaimo is its proximity to the Duke Point Ferry - a short drive. Also, the lack of nightlife meant my visit was quiet. I would recommend visiting Petraglyph Park. It's not easy to find it, you have to be driving on the northbound side, but it's beautiful. I've enjoyed other aspects of Nanaimo in the past, especially the Woodgrove area, and I've found people there very friendly.

    We had an amazing stay at Antheas place. Anthea was really nice and thougtful. She gave us good recommendations for our visit in Nanaimo. In the morning she made us a delicious breakfast with fresh eggs from her own chicken. Also her two little dogs and her cat are so cute. The room was really nice and clean. We had our own nice bathroom. The waterfront was only a 5 minute walk away. 10 out of 10 for this stay. We can definitely recommend a stay here.

    Location was great, close to the ferry and the harbour view from our window was delightful. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. It was great to have a laundry room and kitchenette on the hallway even if we didn’t use them. We didn’t have a problem finding a parking spot in the hotels parking lot which was great. The restaurant in the hotel serves good food and has exceptional service. We love booking with BW.

    We were not able to enjoy the breakfast, but we enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend to anyone! The hotel, parking, rooms, etc, were all new and lovely! We asked for a couple bottles of water and the kind man at the front desk provided them, which we thought was a nice touch. The secured underground parking helped make our visit to Nanaimo safe and enjoyable!

    Nice big room, close to nanaimo city center (less than 10min to walk), good price, helpful staff. Laundry is possible, but only in self service. Good point to visit many things in the surroundings (from Parksville to Chemainus many parks with a roughly 30min drive, North Island Wild Recovery Center is worth a visit!)

    This is a classic style motel. Its beauty is it’s a short walk to the Nanaimo ferry to Vancouver and it’s clean. I found the bed very comfortable, as good as more expensive hotels. Staff is excellent, very friendly. I parked my Motorcycle out front of my room and it was safe all night. Just like the picture shows.

    The unit with spotless, new, well laid out. It was very secure with the codes for a front door and hotel room door. The shower was to die for. This hotel by far exceeded my expectations based on the inexpensive price. The reception staff was very pleasant.
