We stayed here off an on for a month while working in Nanaimo. The rooms we stayed in were all clean - although by far not as modern as they could be - if you're looking for luxury don't stay here :) The furnishings in the rooms are all random - some could be 30+ years old.... The beds are... More

We stay here often, very convenient to downtown, staff always goes the extra mile for guests and rooms are very clean and comfortable. Lots of new beds, pillows and TV's over the last year. Rooms all have mini fridge and microwave. Very pet friendly and we always feel safe and secure.

Friendly check in and reasonable rates make the Harbour Light a decent place to stay. This 2.5 star motel is clean but the room and furnishings are a little dated. I haven't seen a 19" crt TV in a long time. Bedding was adequate and the bed somewhat comfortable. there was a small fridge and microwave in the room. No... More

We were last minute guests at this hotel, as there was a festival happening in town. The front desk clerk was great and friendly. The room was very simple but clean, clean, clean! The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. Our room had a mini fridge and a flat screen tv. All in all a great room... More

I have had the opportunity to stay at the Motel several times in the past five years. I have always found it clean and quiet. I have no hesitation recommending the Harbour Light Motel for those travelling on a budget. Ask for a room on the back side, top floor, away from the highway.
