Courtyard by Marriott Nanaimo

We liked the view over the water, after we got to the 9th floor. Decent size of the room (but be careful, not all rooms are the same size - the first room was certainly much smaller then the second one, although they are both considered the same category). Beds were very comfortable. It is just next to stores and restaurants and, most importantly, the waterfront. Also good location if you want to do a day visit to Tofino and/or the Newcastle island. Nice gym.

I recently stayed at the Courtyard Nanaimo, and my experience was exceptional. The hotel is modern and beautifully maintained, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped with all the amenities one could need for a relaxing stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure my needs were met. The location is also fantastic, with easy access to downtown Nanaimo and stunning views of the waterfront. I would highly recommend Courtyard Nanaimo to anyone looking for a top-notch hotel experience in the area!

There was no breakfast offered, not even a muffin and coffee. The little coffee machine in the room was good. In the restaurant area near the lobby, which did not seem like a proper restaurant, an over-the-counter slice of lemon loaf for takeaway was almost $6 ...far too expensive.

Very good hotel in the very center of Nanaimo, 3 minutes from the marina. Comfortable, functional bathroom. It was very clean. In addition to a comfortable, large bed, there was also a comfortable sofa. There was a restaurant on site with a good menu and friendly service. There was well-functioning air conditioning and wifi

Our room wasn't ready when we arrived, and staff seemed very concerned that we'd be angry - the place is relatively new and there were a couple of other guests who were engaged in quite aggressive conversations with other staff at the time. Seems like there are some issues that need ironing out. However I have no complaints, we were given a beer each, went to park the car across the street, and by the time I returned the room was ready. Room was perfect, bed was huge, swimming pool was a welcome addition. It was only a layover but would have happily spent another night. I think the staff member who helped us might have been called Vern or something similar. He was a really nice guy.
