In April we stayed at the Best Western Northgate Inn for two weekend nights as part of a group travelling with a youth sports team. We paid $175 per night (all in, including taxes) for a one bedroom Jacuzzi suite. While we didn’t have a major problem with the hotel, we had so many minor annoyances that, given the choices... More

I particularly like this hotel because smoking is permitted on the balcony. If there was a downside to this hotel, it would be that it lacks any view and it is a bit pricey for what you get. That being said, it is very clean with lots of amenities and looks modern in the common areas and the room.

We like BW Hotels since they went independent. the rooms seem larger and the beds are great for sleeping, very comfortable. This hotel was in a great location. Walking distance to our friends place and 2 blocks away from a nice pub for dinner. One thing I don't like is the bathroom light and fan on one switch. Very noicey,... More

Second night we were told they could bring us a WHITE NOISEMACHINE?? Breakfast - basically nothing. Juice machines broken, could have provided juice boxes or something, apparently they... More

We are very sorry about the inconveniences this guest experienced during their stay and the mistakes our team made. This is not typical of our service and of our property. We pride ourselves in offering clean, comfortable accommodation and exceptional customer service. This clearly was not the case in this instance and we will be working with our team to... More

I have stayed here several time when I have been in Nanaimo over the past few years. The staff are very friendly and the room are comfortable and clean. only downside was the traffic noise as it is just off a busy street. The breakfast was good.

We stayed here 3 nights and found this motel to be an excellent place to tour from. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were spacious and clean, and the stay was quiet. We ate in nearly restaurants, and there were numerous, from fast food to fine dining. We will certainly stay there again.

Nice clean motel, only real criticism is the uncomfortable pillows, strange little cuboid things. Location is great for commuting down the island, close to the highway and the ferry to Vancouver. The restaurant was very sparse at night, we didn't eat there because there were no other patrons in there instead went down to the pub which was a busy... More

We arrived and had a pretty good first night. The next morning I turned up the heat to warm up the room a little. When we came back later in the day it was very hot. We tried turning down the heat and even opened up the balcony door and the air conditioner. It didn't help but the desk was... More

In our experience our rooms are very comfortable at a thermostat setting of about 20 degrees Celsius or 70 Fahrenheit. Some guests like their rooms warmer, others cooler. Glad our front desk team was able to accommodate our valued guest in another room and that they held a room for you. We pride ourselves on offering great service and I... More
