Top Nanaimo Hotel Reviews

Travelodge by Wyndham Nanaimo

Travelodge by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent
"The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was really close to Halloween so I enjoyed that they were able to have some form of fun while still maintaining the building and doing their jobs. Room was clean. They replaced the bedding and towels everyday. The garbages were removed as well. They respected your privacy and items. (I had left my suitcase on the bed the first day, so they didnt change the bedding. Completely my fault.) The furniture is updated. I am super nervous about glass tops though. Continental breakfast was good. I had yogurt, fruit and a boiled egg. They had teas, and coffee available. Muffins as well. (Decent size, too much for me) There was also fruit, coffee and (I believe tea) available in the lobby. They offer to fill a thermos with coffee but to not take all the coffee from the available container in the lobby. If you live in a city or are comforted by the sound of vehicles its a good place. Not horribly loud for the location. Really cool to hear the train going through the downtown core. It is roughly a 10 minute walk from downtown. Thrifty's, Dollarama, the Library, coffee shops, a used book store (which has some amazing lightly used books), the Gabriola Island ferry, the history in Nanaimo, the old courter. Busses too. (There's a perfect bus that goes from downtown to the woodgrove mall that goes so many times during the day) I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay again."
