Top Protection Island Hotel Reviews

Best Western Northgate Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable and clean room for a one evening stay."

Buccaneer Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I thought I had booked a 2 bedroom hotel suite, and was surprised to find that we had an entire 3 bedroom house! Check-in was fast and friendly. The house was very roomy with a full kitchen, laundry, 3 good size bedrooms (1 king and 2 queen), 2 full bathrooms, comfy living room with fireplace and dining. It looked recently renovated and very clean. Beds were comfortable and the sheets were very soft. The only CONS were the towels could be replaced and the main bedroom was quite loud in the morning with traffic, as it faced onto Hwy 1 - and there were only 2 coffee pods, which was puzzling since the placed slept 6 people. Overall, a WONDERFUL stay!"

Departure Bay Motel

8/10 Good

"Bathroom pics were not the same as the ones posted online for my room. That was disappointing as my Bathroom looked nothing like the promoted pictures."

Ramada by Wyndham Nanaimo

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic breakfast each morning! Omelets, sausages, cereals, waffles, real juice (apple, orange, etc), fresh fruit. And coffee, tea, etc. toast and jams. The lady running the breakfast station worked like a whirlwind. She was a.azing! Well-organized and efficient. She deserves double wages."

Harbour Light Motel

8/10 Good

"Its a budget hotel but its in a good location and the room was clean and recently renovated. Amenities are limited but everything in the room worked. Would stay here again."

Inn On Long Lake

8/10 Good

"Room clean and a good size. The view was great. Breakfast could have been better with more selection."

The Spot

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute boutique hotel. Our room was inside through the lobby. Nice bedding, towels, big glass shower with rain shower head as well as a wand hand held shower. Great pressure. It's a small room, but great for the one night we were there. Front counter evening staff was very helpful and super friendly. Would definitely stay here again."
