Cranberry Arms Pub and Hotel, hotel in Nanaimo

Set in Nanaimo, within 48 km of Maple Bay and 8.1 km of Nanaimo Museum, Cranberry Arms Pub and Hotel offers accommodation with a bar and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive....

Nicely finished, very clean and fresh. Seems to have recently been refinished and was very tastefully done. Friendly staff, but very limited. If you’re looking for a great place to sleep and get a meal or a drink at a very reasonable rate, I’d definitely recommended it, but I would not suggest staying here if you looking for concierge services or other amenities. It was exactly what I was looking for, would have liked to have stayed longer and spent time at the pub!

Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo, hotel in Nanaimo

This harbour-view Nanaimo hotel, located on Vancouver Island, is about 5.5 kilometers from the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal and 10 kilometers from the Duke Point Ferry Terminal.

They let us drop our bags off earlier in the day and put them in storage which was very helpful and then delivered them to the room in the evening.

Travelodge by Wyndham Nanaimo, hotel in Nanaimo

The muffins at breakfast we're amazing. Room was clean, quiet and the ocean being so close was great. They made late check in super easy, and check out also easy.

Best Western Dorchester Hotel, hotel in Nanaimo

This downtown Nanaimo hotel overlooks the Inner Harbour and is across the street from the Seaplane Terminal. The hotel offers free WiFi and free parking.

Hayden, the gentleman who checked us in, was absolutely exceptional. I don't think we've ever had better customer service anyway. I had completely messed up our reservation (it was our anniversary, we go every year, and stayed there the night we got married). Not only was Hayden kind and understanding about me messing up the reservation, he gave us an upgrade. When I visit Nanaimo for business or leisure, I'll never stay anywhere else. 5 stars put of 5. Thank you, Hayden.

    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.

    The ocean was the best part as there are many places to visit and the views are awesome. People were very friendly everywhere I went. The city is kept quite clean. Parks are nicely attended. Overall visit was very pleasant. Easy to get around having a vehicle as everything is very spread out. Piper's Cove and the harbor downtown were favorite.

    This place is amazing. A gem in the middle of the city. When you step into the lobby iit’s like stepping into a grand hotel of the past. It is elegant. Very friendly staff. Wonderful restaurant with lixurious ambience . There is also a bar at the facility, which is well known as the whiskey bar in in the area. The rooms are big and comfortable and extremely clean and the price was very reasonable.

    Sadly, no breakfast anymore. I was told that the on site restaurant would open at 7 AM, but in fact it was not ready to open until 8:30 AM Too late for my circumstances. It was a long we can, and the hotel was Understaffed. The staff were doing the best they could , but The service did not rise to the cost I was paying.

    Reasonably close in to central Nanaimo. Decent amount of free parking. Large room that had a balcony, which was an unexpected bonus. Comfortable beds. The property honored our request for a room on the quieter side of the hotel (away from the main arterial), which we appreciated.

    Nice, sparkling clean, modern hotel in Nanaimo’s historic Old City Quarter shopping area and a short walk to more amenities downtown. Great restaurant in the hotel (The Breakfast Nook) and close to several other nice restaurants (White Rabbit, Black Rabbit and Le Brunch Cafe).

    I loved my room so clean and very comfortable. It's was so nice to have a pet friendly place for my dog and they gave me extra blanket for my pup to sleep on. The staff were very friendly, I would recommend this place and the price is very affordable. Loved my stay.

    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.

    The location is pretty convenient to the downtown area, and it's about C$20 cheaper than 2* hotels with private rooms. The shared kitchen is nice for camaraderie but the stoves are in poor repair and the equipment (knives etc.) is crap.

    The rooms were very modern and clean, with hightech lighting. The staff was very friendly and the hotel was really beautiful. The location was central to the downtown part of Nanaimo and close driving distance to the ocean as well.

    I liked the accessibility of the hotel which is exactly off the road and it wasn't hard to find at all. The room was huge and had everything we expected in a hotel. I liked how close the restaurant is and the food was great too.
