Hotels near Qualicum Beach Welcome Sign, Nanaimo

I really enjoyed my time at The Tide’s Inn Parksville. Quiet, very comfortable mattress and pillows. The staff were beyond reproach! Excellent service. Perfect for my pet. We enjoyed the fire pits and close proximity to the beach and services. Well done!

Recently, I had the opportunity to stay a couple of days at the Coast Parksville Hotel while attending a family matter. If you are looking for a wonderful place to enjoy your time in Parksville, you need not look any further than the Coast Parksville Hotel. Fresh renovations give a positive impression when you enter the room with microwave, sink, fridge, WIFI and relaxing views. The true value of any accommodation is the people that provide services to their guests, everyone at The Coast goes out of their way to make your stay a positive one. I would like to recognize Jufer, the gentlemen at the front desk, always has a pleasant smile, frequently asks if you require anything and an “Enjoy your Day, Sir”! I look forward to staying at the Coast Parksville Hotel again.

This hotel is a bit biased on Victoria Island. If it is not self-driving, it is very inconvenient. The hotel is relatively new. The facilities are relatively complete. There are hot springs. Facing a small lake, it was quite peaceful. There is a kitchen, but we don’t have time to cook by ourselves. The breakfast at the hotel is good, you can make your own waffles. Did not see the Chinese. Because there was only a foreign couple who went to the hot springs late. There is free parking.

There’s no denying that this hotel needs an update and all the junk clearing out the reception area. It is dated and at first sight, it puts you off staying there. You cannot say that the receptionists are unfriendly, it’s just they don’t engage with their clients and the result is that they do not seem welcoming. The rooms are dated too, microwaves stacked on top of fridges that can trip the fuses and “black out” your room. The ensuite looks and feels old with noisy inefficient extract fans. On the plus side, the beds are very comfortable, well serviced and clean as are the rooms but that dated look detracts and the lighting is dire. Dire too is the heating and AC, grossly inefficient and virtually uncontrollable. There are minimal supplies in the room but the coffee machine delivers really good coffee. No kettle but reception have one on request. The restaurant food is very good but throughout our week in the hotel, it always had few customers. I suspect the reason for that is that it is very expensive as are the wines and drinks. Too expensive by far for such an establishment and whilst the food was very good, it was not of high enough standard to demand these prices. I would have liked to dine there more often but there are good less expensive restaurants a short drive away and many bar restaurants a short walk over the road. Would I go back again? Well, yes but it would be a bed for the night only. I think they are missing a trick here at many levels or they are not interested in making this establishment better. It has so much potential, such a shame.

It is a good option to rest, confortable, quite and clean. Altaf the recepcionist will make you feel at home. Near Tim Hurtons and near the BCFerries. A nice place to stay in Nanaimo. They offer you coffee and tea any time. They also guide you to the places that you need to go. Staff very friendly. Without any kind of doubt I will go back

Hotel location is very easy to find, the room, bedding and bathroom supplies are very new and clean, arrived at the hotel early on the same day and checked in in advance, it really made the guests have a good experience. If you need to take a boat back to Vancouver in the morning, this hotel is a very good choice. It takes only 5 minutes from the hotel to the departure bay ferry terminal, which is very convenient. I will stay at this hotel next time I come to Nanaimo.

Breakfast is ok, because of the epidemic, I took it away. Can add an extra bed, the room is big. Suitable for bringing children. The location of the hotel is great. There is free parking. It is very convenient to go to the ferry.

Clean hotel close to ferry terminal. Breakfast basic but okay. Away from downtown. Free car parking. Good size rooms. Excellent bed. Excellent WiFi.

This hotel is brand new with comfortable bed and LED TV. The gym facilitate is well equipped. I’m quite satisfied except for the check-in at the counter where they couldn’t allow me to have my room 30 mins earlier because I booked the room with third party despite they had plenty of empty rooms. I needed to wait at the counter till the check-in time.

I don't know what other people would expect if I said excellent but that was our experience. We were at the end of a two week holiday on Vancouver Island. We stayed at a name brand hotel on the way up island at twice the price, but it certainly was not twice as good; in fact I would say our room was not as large as the name brand but that was the only difference. Harbour Light had everything we needed for one night: comfortable beds, frig, microwave, wi-fi, and coffee maker. The place was clean and the attendant at the desk was helpful in every way. He recommended the MGM restaurant next door with a 10% discount and between the two we had a good evening before we caught the ferry to the mainland the next morning.
