Nicely finished, very clean and fresh. Seems to have recently been refinished and was very tastefully done. Friendly staff, but very limited. If you’re looking for a great place to sleep and get a meal or a drink at a very reasonable rate, I’d definitely recommended it, but I would not suggest staying here if you looking for concierge services or other amenities. It was exactly what I was looking for, would have liked to have stayed longer and spent time at the pub!
Located just minutes away from the BC Ferry Terminal and Nanaimo city centre, this hotel features a free, deluxe continental breakfast and guestrooms with a balcony. Free WiFi is provided on site.

The room was nice and clean. The "do not disturb" sign was respected as i did not need the room serviced everyday.

Breakfast wasn’t included.
The location was great, right in town. The staff were very friendly and we left our big bags in storage while we went to Victoria. We caught a ferry from Vancouver. Nanaimo is a small town with whale boat tours that are well worth taking.

Nanaimo was a little city that is spread far apart, but everything you need is 10mins away
The homelessness issue rears its head all around Nanaimo but not as aparant as Vancouver!
A lot of OLD buildings with a lot of CLOSED but there is a bunch of construction, so I am wondering if the city will soon rebuild?

Nanaimo is a cool little city.
Nanaimo is a cool little city. Depending on the goal of your trip renting a vehicle is recommended, since the city is spread out. As well there is much to see in surrounding areas. With the ocean, mountains and forest this community is surrounded by nature and beauty!

We had a great dinner at Firehouse Grill and fantastic coffee at Regards Coffee and the walk along the waterfront was nice but nothing super special, in all honesty it's kind of a dreary, quiet place that isn't very pretty. Maybe it has way more to offer than what meets the eye but I truly wouldn't care to stay there for more than a night passing through.

There was a couple of RATS outside by the pool but they stayed away from people. The hot tub wasn’t working either. But the pool was GLORIOUS and the room was clean to perfection. It was a nice place to sleep in!

I didn't see much of Nanaimo, just Petraglyph Park, before heading to Victoria. This side of Nanaimo was quiet, and I left very early. One great thing about South Nanaimo is its proximity to the Duke Point Ferry - a short drive. Also, the lack of nightlife meant my visit was quiet.
I would recommend visiting Petraglyph Park. It's not easy to find it, you have to be driving on the northbound side, but it's beautiful. I've enjoyed other aspects of Nanaimo in the past, especially the Woodgrove area, and I've found people there very friendly.

Lots of parking available in Nanaimo downtown, ( dont park on yellow band or else you get ticket) and walk around harbor and see sea plane takes off and landing. lots of trails to explore. you can catch fish on the shore.
Harbour Light Motel is just right for an overnight stay for people like me who need to take a ferry to the BC mainland. Its location is perfect for either of the Nanaimo ferries. The rooms are clean and quite comfortable. Harbour Light is just a very good place for an overnight stay.
Nice, sparkling clean, modern hotel in Nanaimo’s historic Old City Quarter shopping area and a short walk to more amenities downtown. Great restaurant in the hotel (The Breakfast Nook) and close to several other nice restaurants (White Rabbit, Black Rabbit and Le Brunch Cafe).
The location was nice and central to any where you want to be in Nanaimo. Its quiet and cozy enough stay for a night or two! It was only a few mins away from the Ferry terminal so made for a quick stop to check in before we had our adventure!
The best part was the comfortable beds and the view. I also loved seeing the happy pets and will definitely come back with mine one day. I also LOVED that you had real mugs and glasses. So many hotels now have disposable ones which I hate.
The house was new with a huge terrace and an amazing ocean view.The hosts Shawn and Lili tried their best to make us feel welcomed and Indeed we felt like home.Thank you Shawn and Lili.If anytime soon in Nanaimo you are the first choice.
The Staff was excellent , the Room was clean and the toiletries were more than adequate. Room service is every 2 days which is good. In addition , the hotel is very close to nanaimo port and nanaimo parks which is great.
I loved everything about it! I was surprised how comfy the beds were! I had just stayed at high end hotel which the beds weren't comfy. Ill be coming back for sure with my family when I visit Nanaimo!
Sid from reseption was most helpful with our special requests. The room was clean and spacious with good harbour view. The Noch restaurant located in the hotel was very good - we had dinner there.
I loved that they have a hotel dog. The lady was very friendly at the front desk too. If the ferry ever gets canceled and I’m stuck in Nanaimo again , I will definitely stay there again .
Quaint little hotel nestled downtown waterfront. Had a beautifully unique design. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff were so cheerful and friendly. We will definitely stay again.
The renovations were well made, the hotel looks good. We had a sense of deja vu that was confirmed when we were told that it is the same owners than the Spot in Sechelt.
Great location. We had a view of the harbour from o he room. Parking is not located in the hotel but is nearly with an adjoining door. Comfy beds and quiet room.
