Nanaimo Hotels with Parking

I would describe myself as a “non-guest” as I reserved and booked here, thinking it was a dog-accepting hotel. But at checkin, there was a sign “no dogs in rooms” - so I was in a quandary. When I iexclaimed at my confusion and error, the receptionist was totally cool and maximum helpful - he called a sister hotel, transferred my reservation and payment to them, pre-checked me in, and  never broke a swear, just “happy to help ma’am. “ Great service! Excellent staff!  Thanks so much!

This hotel is under Marriott and is well managed by friendly staff at the front desk. Check-in and check-out are quick and smooth. Indoor guest car parking is just across the street for $9.45. The spacious rooms and bathrooms have significant counter areas decorated with bright lights. Ice machines are on every floor. Washing and drying machines are available for $3 each. The indoor swimming pool opens from 7am to 11pm, and the gym is open 24/7. The only downside was the coil of the air conditioning was installed in the room, so you will hear the big noise when the coil starts to work the room temperature colder.

The Beach Club is a our go-to spot when we need to get away from reality for a few days, the setting, the amenities and the staff always make our stay the perfect gateway! We had a fabulous meal in the onsite restaurant finished off with a 40 year old Fladgate for dessert. We walked for miles on the sand and the boardwalk and even got to get our Pickleball fix with several courts and welcoming locals adjacent to the hotel! Once again, the Beach Club was a perfect distraction!

Just be advised, if you are planning to walk Cathedral Trail from here, it takes 40 min drive as the distance itself isn't that far but there's no straight route and you will have to drive around the mountain. Stay itself was really nice with clear wide view.

Good location, quiet rooms with cozy beds and enough space. Good simple continental breakfast.

The room is badly in need of renovations because the very old carpeted floor is uneven and bumpy. There is a smell in the room where I had to open the window to air. The bathtub hot water is just barely warm. A report to the receptionist on my 3rd evening.. who suggested I change my room. When I checked on the first day, the reception offered a room upgrade which I rejected after I went to the room because it was very dark and gave an uneasy feeling. This is probably the worst hotel on this trip in Canada where I have been for last one month.

Qualicum Bay Resort is better than what I imagined, we stayed at second floor double queen size bedrooms, and also main floor 2 bedrooms suite. I find both rooms are very comfortable and clean, the location is wonderful too. I especially love the pillow, makes my neck and back has good support.

It was a nice experience. Amenities are very accessible.

Great, the room is a small suite, clean and comfortable, the boss is not bad, the main thing is that the credit card does not have to pay the deposit, because the foreign credit card refund is more than two weeks, so like

The environment is very nice and there is a garden, a large parking lot, and the rooms are large, like suites. It is only a few minutes drive from the hotel to the city centre, which is especially convenient.
