The Grand Hotel Nanaimo

6/10 Okay

"The staff was nice and the restaurant was very nice too and waiter was very kind ! The hotel looked very stunning inside and the gardens outside were beautiful too. Every piece of equipment in the gym was broken. The jacuzzi tubs in both rooms were broken ( shower and bath worked fine but no jacuzzi working in either room) These perks are important part of travelling."

Courtyard By Marriott Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very clean and conveniently located to many food and drink options."
