Top Lake Cowichan Hotel Reviews

Best Western Dorchester Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff and management were very accommodating to our needs Front desk manager was extremely helpful and kind in regards to my sister’s mobility issues They certainly helped in making our stay in Nanaimo very enjoyable"

Best Western Plus Chemainus Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Balcony view was nice. Great breakfast!"

Oceanfront Suites at Cowichan Bay

8/10 Good

"Loved the proximity to everything from the hotel. The staff were very professional and polite. Oh and the sea lions were the highlight of our trip!"

Harbour House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a very brief stay. The welcome gift was a lovely touch. The room was well presented and clean but I would say the lighting was interesting! The rooms were pretty dark with no ceiling lights, it set a certain mood but not entirely practical! The hotel was clean and modern and in a very good position/setting. The staff were helpful. I would say the price was on the hefty side, even at the slightly discounted price I paid for a last minute booking. Overall we had a lovely experience and the kids enjoyed their hotel experience."

Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo

8/10 Good

"Very good place compared to the price and the area. Large room, clean, but typical old building vibe with carpeted floor, and old building smell. They were not distinctively strong. Coin laundry down stairs could be useful. Good restaurants around the area. Shampoo, Conditioner, and body wash were too small for 2 Queen beds room"

Coast Bastion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location in Nanaimo. The rooms are spacious and clean. Love that it’s pet friendly. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in Nanaimo next."

South Shore Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The South Shore is one of the nicest motels I have ever stayed in. Splendidly renovated. It is very quiet up on the hillside. Only a 3-4 block walk to dining and shopping. Big bonus, the Beaver Creek Trail begins literally feet away. It’s a wonderful 2 km walk through the forest. The only thing missing for me, at the motel, was an ice machine. Big thanks to the staff for our early checkin. It was very much appreciated!"

Wessex Inn By The Sea

8/10 Good

"Great location, nicely renovated room with a view and comfortable beds!"

Lake Cowichan Lodge

8/10 Good

"Spacious, good for long stays. Change of towels could be more frequent. All in all we would stay there again. Thank you."
