I didn't like my experience at the restaurant. The server was not happy at all throwing menus and didn't even bother to ask what drinks we wanted or to even clean the table. The food was good.

The staff was very accommodating as we were having problems with payment and the front desk was able to resolve the issue promptly. The hotel was nice clean and comfortable.

The breakfast could have been better.

The bathroom, prefer a walk in shower due to age.

Close to where I wanted to be, good parking, comfortable beds, great restaurant. Did not use the pool this time but have before and it was nice.

In the pool area there weren't many chairs. I personally don't like to get in the water, but I wanted to be there for my kid. So I had to stand the whole time.

The room was comfortable and well equipped with a small fridge, microwave, and a coffee maker. The indoor pool is nice for the kids. And it's open until 11:00 pm! Thank you for that! The breakfast was nice, even though it says cold continental breakfast it included waffles that you can heat, and a variety of bread, cereal and fruit.

A bit difficult for handicapped person traveling between the pool level and the lobby level (restaurant). No elevators.

Room was large and clean. Pool looked ok, but didn't get a chance to use.

No parking close to my room.

Staff was very accommodating when I required an extra night.

The bed covers were not clean and needed washing. I used our own instead.

The staff was very welcoming, and the pool was nice. I highly recommend going in the morning because it is quiet. The breakfast was good and had a cozy vibe.

Old. Had window unit AC. It was a hike just to get ice. Needs update. Expensive for the quality.

Convenient location

The booking.com page says check-in is at 4 pm, but the sign at the front desk said 3 pm. I even got an automatic reply saying early check-in might have an extra fee. Luckily, we weren’t charged, but it was confusing. 3 pm is pretty standard, so 4 pm feels too late to me. The AC in our room worked fine. But when we first entered, it was pretty hot in it which was a little frustrating since we like a cool room. We had to wait a bit and take a cold shower while the AC kicked in. The Wi-Fi was slow in the evenings (probably when everyone was using it), but it was fine the rest of the time. Breakfast can feel cramped because the room where it’s served is quite small, and the towel situation for the pool area could be better. You have to grab towels from the front desk, and sometimes they’re out, so you might need to go back and forth. A couple of times, we were offered regular room towels instead. Also, we left tips and a note for the room service, but they didn’t take them. Maybe they have a no-tip policy?

“Good stay for the price – we’ll be back!” We stayed at Days Inn for 3 nights and overall had a good experience. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff were polite and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. It wasn’t very big, but it worked perfectly for us. Parking and breakfast were both good. The breakfast buffet had a decent variety, pretty standard but enough to start the day. The pool and hot tub were great! We used them every night, and the last 30 minutes were especially nice because they weren’t busy at all. That was a highlight for us. The hotel itself isn’t new, but it’s maintained well, which we appreciated.

A little musty corridors and basic breakfast.

Size of the room.

The pool has stairs to get down into the pool area.

No one responded when I requested an early check in. When I did arrive the fellow at reception was sarcastic and rude. Breakfast room was busy, and kids were running around as thou it was the playground. Entrance from parking to pool level was not very attractive.

Breakfast wasn't great but was nice to have. Room was a good size and bed was comfy.

I found a bunch of strands of hair on the clean towels in the room. I know it can sometimes get mixed in but just gives me an ick to find someone else's hair on my clean towels.

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Went in the restaurant and it was good service and quick.

I agree with the other reviews that the floors in the room were a bit sticky and did not feel clean. Also the airconditioning makes quite the noise.

Easy access along Highway 1. I guess this is a good stay when travelling, not necessarily when visiting Nanaimo. The rooms are simple but clean.

The free breakfast. I thought maybe eggs or toast would be pre cooked and you’d be able to just dish up and eat. If I’d known it was self serve then I wouldn’t have bothered, just because of the time of it and it’s quite crowded in the space.

It’s nice and clean inside and outside. Looks a bit older of a building, but it’s a good place to stay.

Accidentally booked two adults into a room with 1 bed rather than 2. It was midweek and not too busy and when I explained the desk clerk didn't offer any solutions such as giving us another room or using a cot. I had to ask if they had a cot and used it. The bed was ancient and springs were shot and had such a bad sleep for 2 nights when there were plenty of empty rooms. This was a very bad experience and I was really disappointed in the service.

Pool was open until late and continental breakfast were both nice to have

Halls and ceilings were in poor repair, mouldings were dingy and need replacing. Neighbourhood was dicey.

Plenty of parking. The rooms had new linen and decor.

There was a film of grime around the swimming pool. Aircon quite noisy. Staff smoking near doors, which wafted along the corridor.

Room very clean and comfortable; staff very pleasant. Food was good but limited in its variety
