Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Management cuts too many corners...
When I dropped a pen and it rolled under the bed I went to retrieve it and noticed a few pieces of trash, one of them was a receipt from a fast food restaurant from six months ago and there was quite a bit of dust as well. I also noticed the room next door that had a couple children with were very loud and they kept us up almost the entire night. On our last night we had to wait until almost noon before there was hot water to take a shower, so all in all they have some work to do...

It was an okay area of Nanaimo. But there is a lot of homeless people around. They were harmless. Other than that rooms were good, clean, staff was very helpful.
