Days Inn by Wyndham Nanaimo, hotel in Nanaimo

This harbor-view Nanaimo hotel, located on Vancouver Island, is about 3.4 miles from the Departure Bay Ferry Terminal and 6.2 miles from the Duke Point Ferry Terminal.

Pool and hot tub! Only good things plus Saranne our maid did a sculpture of love swans with towels. To make us feel better for lack of towel holders on no proper drinking cups.She also brought us more hangers with clips to hang towels off. I understand the request and complaints about towel bars goes on deaf ears of owners. Bed was comfortable! New bedding probably because of flood. Elderly lady who checked us out was thorough and professional!

    Nanaimo was a little city that is spread far apart, but everything you need is 10mins away The homelessness issue rears its head all around Nanaimo but not as aparant as Vancouver! A lot of OLD buildings with a lot of CLOSED but there is a bunch of construction, so I am wondering if the city will soon rebuild?

    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.

    Harbour Light Motel is just right for an overnight stay for people like me who need to take a ferry to the BC mainland. Its location is perfect for either of the Nanaimo ferries. The rooms are clean and quite comfortable. Harbour Light is just a very good place for an overnight stay.

    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).

    The location was nice and central to any where you want to be in Nanaimo. Its quiet and cozy enough stay for a night or two! It was only a few mins away from the Ferry terminal so made for a quick stop to check in before we had our adventure!

    The best part was the comfortable beds and the view. I also loved seeing the happy pets and will definitely come back with mine one day. I also LOVED that you had real mugs and glasses. So many hotels now have disposable ones which I hate.

    The renovations were well made, the hotel looks good. We had a sense of deja vu that was confirmed when we were told that it is the same owners than the Spot in Sechelt.
