Relaxing , enjoyable
Pros:

It was very comfortable and we were met with a smile and professional manner!

Cons:

The only thing I would say is I found the pillows too soft for myself. They were very nice, just too soft.

Do not recommend the Days Inn hotel
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Parking options, staff were not very helpful when we told them our sink was clogged from one use of brushing someone's teeth.
Our room was right by a door so you could hear everyone who used the door close it .

Pros:

Чистота та обслуговування фронт Деску

Cons:

. Жінка яка обслуговувала нас на сніданку була не ввічливою. Сніданок на пул левелі був не зрозумілий, були лише варені яйця з білка, але якщо алергія на яйця то ти голодний.

Safe, comfortable with very friendly staff
Pros:

Great property, loved the pool and inclusion of breakfast - thank you! However, as a daily lap swimmer in Australia all indoor pools are heated to 30 degrees, this pool was not, heated, rather I think it may just be that it’s an indoor pool? The spa was way too hot though.

Cons:

As above

This Days Inn by Wyndham is always our preferred motel when visiting the Nanaimo area.
Pros:

The rooms are adequate for our needs. It is great having the Ricky's restaurant as part of this motel, and the meals there are excellent. This Days Inn is in an excellent location, a short 12 minute drive to / from the Duke Point ferry, and also a short drive to the home of our family whom we go to visit. Even being situated right on the main highway, it is very quiet overnight. The location is mere minutes to downtown, and the lower Haliburton road is very convenient to take you right to the harbour park area or shopping areas without having to get on and off the main highway.

Cons:

The bedroom area is a good size but there is no place other than the floor to set down suitcases other than one chair. It would be great to have those folding suitcase stands. We use the one chair for one suitcase and the second suitcase then sits in the front room by the coat rack. For longer stays, like a week or more, a dresser with drawers would also be a nice convenience so we don't have to live out of the suitcase. There really is plenty of room in the bedroom for placement of a suitcase stand, another chair, and a dresser. Other than this, all else is just fine.
