Clean and comfy. Courteous service. Not new at all but nice. Good value. Convenient location with a little park across the road on the shoreline. Would stay again.
Obviously this is not a resort where you sit around by the pool but if you are arriving late off the ferry nothing beats this no nonsense hotel. Super clean and beds super comfortable. Small rooms but for the money it can not be beat. I have now made this my go to rest spot when I take the late ferry to the island and not wanting to drive into the night
Yes, the room was very clean and well maintained. David was extremely helpful....went over and above the expected. We had booked the 'fireplace' suite....didn't fire it up, but my wife absolutely loved it. Bed was super comfortable (I slept in until almost 8 both mornings.....something I never do.
This is a family that has trully embraced the art and meaning of hospitality.....something that most places do not even comprehend these days.
Really spacious room with separate living area, bedroom, and kitchen. Staff quite friendly, enjoyable two-night stay. Room was a little dated, but still super comfortable. Walking distance (10min) to ferry terminal. I would definitely stay here again.
We had a late night stay at the Buccaneer Inn before leaving for Victoria in the morning and so happy we booked it. The room was well set up, parking and reception easily accessible to the room and the beds were extremely comfortable. Everyone was well rested after a long day and check out was simple. A lovely choice if you're staying in Nanaimo!
Clean and convenient. Bit noisy by the busy road but great for a short stop over. Room was comfortable and the kitchen facility is a great plus. Staff were helpful and friendly.
Next little motel walking distance to the Nanaimo Ferry terminal. Room was small especially tyhe bathroom but more tan enough for a short stay and the bed was very comfy.

The suite is clean and comfortable, and the kitchen well equipped. The hotel is located close to the downtown and many attractions along the shore.
It’s our third stay over the span of 4 years. Excellent motel, great staff and service, clean room. Quiet location right by the water, very conveniently situated from the transportation standpoint, close to Downtown Nanaimo, and many restaurants and stores are within 10-15 min drive.
