Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The rooms are no-frills since we were staying in a student residency but honestly, it was perfect, specifically for the first night when we have arrived in Nanaimo. The person at the reception was very friendly and helpful. The night was silent and calm, exactly what we needed for our first night on the Island.
Negative: Again, the rooms are no-frills and if you want to put it negatively, you might say utilitarian. It didn't bother us - however, what we didn't expect was that we were sleeping in two separate rooms connected by a bathroom (private and only usable by the two of us). No biggie though!
Summary: Great, calm and silent space to have a good nights sleep :)
