The staff were friendly and helpful with sights and attractions in the area. The hotel is in a good location near the waterfont of Nanaimo (right next to a white-spot) - walking distance from the bus-depot and 2-min taxi-ride to the local mall. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished (for the price) and not out-dated. The complimentary breakfast was good, they had a good selection to choose from and staff in the breakfast room were continually ensuring that everything was replenished. The only bad thing I could say about my stay was the guests in the room above made bit of noise in the morning and you could hear this through the roof of our room. I had an enjoyable stay here and would definately stay again! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Travelodge_Nanaimo/r635737 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Travelodge_Nanaimo/r635738 Do not stay here if you want a clean room or a non-smoking room!!! On the surface the hotel looks good - new carpet, countertops and tiles - but once you look closer, it is gross. Our 'non-smoking' room and my inlaws room reaked of smoke. They allow smoking on the balcony of the room (evidenced by a can of sand for cigarette butts) so how can they expect the smoke to not come in through the slider? The bathtub had a cigarette burn on it and when I showered the cigarette smell really came out. When I pulled back the bed cover, there was some brown gunk on the inside of it. This wasn't an old stain but actual stuff approximately two inches long by 1/2 inch wide. I would have switched hotels right then but I had an overtired child and two older inlaws in another room. The bottom sheet wasn't big enough to fit the bed so it pulled out from the sides and got balled up and lumpy beneath me while I slept. The sheet also had a hole in it. To top it all off, we asked for a 5:45 wake up call that never came. Luckily my husband woke up or we could have missed our ferry. The hotel was a disgusting experience!!! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Travelodge_Nanaimo/r635738 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Travelodge_Nanaimo/r635739 It was in the middle of July when I got into Nanaimo and checked into the hotel. The room was a decent size, but one thing that was horrible was that there was only a table fan and no air-conditioning. I thought I was going to die of the heat. To be fair, I hear it is never usually hot enough to justify air-conditioners in houses and businesses. The room was clean and the staff was helpful and friendly. They have a continental breakfast set out each morning for the guests. There is no pool, unfortunately, at this hotel and no restaurant. The Husky home-style restaurant is across the parking lot, though. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Travelodge_Nanaimo/r635739
