Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

JL, Courtenay, visiting Port Theatre Nanaimo Wed, 6 December 2023

Normally, I don’t like to give bad reviews. However, my recommendation - spend the extra $50 and find somewhere else to stay. The beds are extremely uncomfortable; very loud and had missing linen; didn't even have a face cloth in the washroom. The gentleman who checked us out advised me that my room smelled like smoke even though I don't smoke and my husband didn't even smoke in our car parked in front. He went across the parking lot. I still have not received my deposit back. It's been two days. I would not recommend this motel. The only reason I gave it a poor and not terrible is due to the young woman who checked us in. She was very polite and very helpful. If it wasn't for her, I'd give it a terrible.

Liked: The size of the room was decent. The young woman who checed us in was very helpful and seemed knowledgable.
Disliked: Missing linens; the beds were extremely uncomfortable. Had a horrible sleep; very loud - we could hear everything above and around us. Problem checking out and getting my deposit back.

Great experience

Liked: Had a great time, and I found the staff to be very helpful. When we left our charger, he went above and beyond to help us retrieve it.

terrible front desk staff

Liked: can't think of anything
Disliked: The room I booked was at the back side with no view and no privacy (the fence blocks all the view and daylight and people will walk around the back side). I asked the front desk lady if we can change our room to the front, and she replied rude and aggressive like we are trying to take advantage. She said "No You Cannot! Because you booked the budget room and they are on the back side. Rooms on the front and second floor are different prices and they are our PREMIUM ROOM!" When I am booking the room, I cannot learn the differences between each option from the pictures, and of course you would go with cheaper one. When I booked the room with other hotels, the price differences means the size of the room is different. This is the first and will be my last time staying with this hotel. Terrible room and terrible staff.
