Overall nice venue
Hot tub and sauna area was nice but limited. Room was spacious and pretty clean. Carpet and sheer needed cleaning. Duct tape around a pipe under the sink. Amenities in the room were good- coffee machine, microwave and frig.

This was a great surprise as while it is beside the Island Highway, was quiet and a lovely location situated right on Long Lake. We had a balcony overlooking the lake where we saw many geese’s, a heron, a beaver and the requisite gulls. The facility was well kept and comfortable. The breakfast was adequate. The self-serve ice machine was out of order but ice could be obtained at the front desk. The staff were always pleasant and helpful. I would return.

Not the Best
Beds were AWFUL. I almost got and slept on the floor! My husband slept upside down on the bed just to try to get comfortable. When complained to desk at checkout, he asked me if I complained last night! 😖 Breakfast was a joke. We got there at 9 and it closed down at 9:30. It was a mess, no fruit left, only one glass of OJ left. The girl never replenished anything’ we left ! We were also charged $191 but was quoted 141 when we booked! 😡with taxes, fees and parking fee, we walked out with a bill of $233.57! Never Again

Good for a lakeside relax on edges of Nanaimo
Perfect hotel for just sitting and gazing at the beautiful lake. It was mesmerising watching the geese and ducks on the water, and just the whole atmosphere of the lake. Hotel best enjoyed with a car and bringing provisions as there is NO bar and NO restaurant. The breakfast was fine. The staff were friendly.

Pretty view from the room, air conditioning unit worked effectively, liked that breakfast was included, liked that parking layout was very convenient to the rooms. Walkway boards to the dock were very uneven, old and moved unsafely under our feet - need replacing.

A fun place where you could walk out to a lake front. The continental breakfast was simple but good. The only issues were that they charged extra for parking and there was a lot of goose droppings on the lawn in front of the lake.
