Buccaneer Inn

Nice room layout and amenities.

Definitely will stay again

Accessible for ferry service. Very convenient nice stay.

Lovely view of the harbour Room Very small- A little dated

This was a very comfortable motel close to the ferry in Nanaimo. Our heater wasn’t working and management provided a portable unit until they could repair it the following day. Most appreciated. We enjoyed the separate sitting area with tv and cooking facility, although we didn’t do any cooking. We would most definitely stay again.

My husband had stayed here and liked it, and the proprietors said next time he should book direct, rather than through *******, and they'd give him a discount. So when I was going to Nanaimo he phoned, and the discount they offered was $1 - one dollar! - off their website price. I wouldn't have booked it, but he did. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. But. The pillows were uncomfortable--too big. I was kept awake by the thundering hippos upstairs (not the fault of the Buccaneer) and then awakened by traffic noise at 4:30 a.m. Lots of hotels now have a Keurig or similar that makes good coffee; the coffee here was not good, and instead of UHT milk or similar, there was powdered Coffeemate. Yuck. There was an ironing board and iron but no blow-dryer for hair. No outlet in the bathroom. Tiny bathroom. And the fan, which came on automatically when the light was turned on, sounded like a jet engine. I could have had a decent stay in spite of all those things if I could have had a good cup of coffee in the morning, but no. Please! Buy some Keurigs and better white stuff! There didn't seem to be much concern for the customer. For the same price I could have stayed at another place with all the amenities, two queen beds, and free breakfast.
