The hotel is older, but very well maintained with large rooms and comfortable beds. I have stayed here several other times and I have never been disappointed. The reception was very friendly and welcoming.

I got into town after a long day of traveling and was greeted at reception by a lovely lady named Francine. She had a great sense of humor during check-in, making the process go by quickly and was refreshing after a long day of driving and waiting on ferries.

We had a good stay but I had to get my bed changed as there was hair in it. The people above us on the last night were very heavy walkers until late at night and early the next morning.

The Grand Hotel Nanaimo had a dated rooms but also an old cozy feel to the hotel. The shower pressure was fantastic although the shower curtain has a tendency to be your buddy. My room faced the out front which also gave me the opportunity to keep an eye on my rental car and I did have a balcony which was kind of nice, but was rarely used.
