Casa Grande Inn

Beachfront Bliss Just a Short Drive from the Action

Modern comfort meets coastal charm at Casa Grande Inn, a relaxed 3-star hotel perched right on beautiful Qualicum Beach. With sweeping ocean views, cozy rooms, and easy access to nearby venues in Nanaimo (just under an hour away), it’s a peaceful spot to recharge after a big night out.

Each room comes air-conditioned and features a flat-screen TV with cable, fridge, and coffee machine—plus free Wi-Fi to upload your concert footage without a hitch. Some rooms even offer stunning sea views, perfect for a quiet morning after the show.

If you're combining your concert plans with a little outdoor adventure, the area around Casa Grande Inn is a haven for hiking and cycling too.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s location gives you the best of both worlds—close enough to Nanaimo's concert venues for an easy drive, yet far enough to escape the post-show crowds. It’s a quiet and restful spot that’s perfect for winding down. Flexible check-out starting at 6:00 AM means you can hit the road early if needed, and there’s free Wi-Fi to plan your next gig or share the night’s best moments.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a scenic stay
- Solo travelers chasing their bucket-list concert
- Couples wanting a romantic weekend away with live music
- Fans seeking peace and quiet after the encore
- Budget-conscious travelers who love a good view

Food and Drink Options

While Casa Grande Inn doesn’t have its own restaurant, there are walkable cafes and eateries nearby in Qualicum Beach. You’ll find breakfast spots open late enough for post-concert sleep-ins, and many local places offer casual dining options well into the evening. No 24/7 room service here, but the in-room fridge and coffee machine help for quick bites and caffeine fixes.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but that’s part of the charm. After your concert, head back to a quiet beachfront retreat. For those wanting to continue the night, downtown Qualicum Beach and nearby Nanaimo have a good selection of bars and lounges offering everything from craft beer to live acoustic sets.

What People Say

Guests love the location right across from the beach, the clean and spacious rooms, and the peaceful atmosphere—ideal for recharging after a music-filled night. Many mention the friendly staff and the extra touches like patios and sea views as reasons they’d return.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no on-site restaurant or bar, so you’ll need to venture out for meals and drinks. Also, being a beachfront property, it’s more about relaxing than raging—so if you’re looking for an all-night party vibe, this might not be your top pick.

The Bottom Line

Casa Grande Inn is a serene, oceanside stay ideal for concert-goers who want to enjoy the music, then unwind in peace and comfort.
