Travelodge by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay such friendly staff"

The Spot

10/10 Excellent

"Small but has everything you need. Noisy since it's on a main arterial, traffic and sirens into the night. Unit was clean and tidy. Tiny back yard for ground floor units, can sit outdoors. No front desk, after checking time you get a room number and code to key into your unit. Felt safe, looked like video cameras monitor building. Fine for overnight stay passing through Nanaimo. Note: there was a problem with Expedia, my prepaid stay didn’t get credited, but when informed of the double charge, The Spot immediately refunded my second card charge."
