"This is a great spot! It is so surprising what is fit into a smaller space. The airfryer and induction element along with the toaster oven would allow you to cook a full roast chicken dinner with all the fixings. Lovely spot. Comfortable king bed. You can use the patio overlooking the ocean. Very quiet neighborhood. A small oceanside park foour minutes walk. Do check out the Rusty Rake for an exceptional dinner. Thanks Brad."

Top Nanaimo Hotel Reviews

Courtyard By Marriott Nanaimo

Courtyard By Marriott Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment you step inside you can sense the warm and friendly atmosphere. The front desk staff are absolutely amazing. Never felt rushed or treated like just another guest. In fact you felt truly appreciated! I wish I could remember this one man’s name from the Ukraine who worked the front desk who helped us track down the cab driver who brought us to the airport where we accidentally left a piece of our luggage. Without his wonderful help we wouldn’t have been able to retrieve our forgotten luggage. Nobody does that today and we’re so appreciative for his outstanding service. The next time we visit the beautiful Nanaimo area we will definitely stay at this hotel!"
