Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

JL, Courtenay, visiting Port Theatre Nanaimo Wed, 6 December 2023

Normally, I don’t like to give bad reviews. However, my recommendation - spend the extra $50 and find somewhere else to stay. The beds are extremely uncomfortable; very loud and had missing linen; didn't even have a face cloth in the washroom. The gentleman who checked us out advised me that my room smelled like smoke even though I don't smoke and my husband didn't even smoke in our car parked in front. He went across the parking lot. I still have not received my deposit back. It's been two days. I would not recommend this motel. The only reason I gave it a poor and not terrible is due to the young woman who checked us in. She was very polite and very helpful. If it wasn't for her, I'd give it a terrible.

Liked: The size of the room was decent. The young woman who checed us in was very helpful and seemed knowledgable.
Disliked: Missing linens; the beds were extremely uncomfortable. Had a horrible sleep; very loud - we could hear everything above and around us. Problem checking out and getting my deposit back.

Short stay but would bring...

Liked: Clean, updated room. Comfortable bed.
Disliked: Street noise was predominant. Woke us up around 1pm and difficult to go back to sleep. Not the property’s fault necessarily but the windows are not the most efficient to block out noise.
