Our third stay at this Day's Inn, and it is our 'go to' place for our visits to Nanaimo.
Pros:

Staff are all very friendly & accommodating, from check-in counter to housekeeping.
Having the Ricki's Restaurant right on site is wonderfully convenient.
The Free breakfast, while down several flights of stairs, does supply good selections.
The location of this Inn is perfectly situated, easy access to highway, very quiet overnight, and mere minutes to ferry and downtown venues.

Cons:

While the room is comfortable, it would be great if there was a place to set suitcases & other belongings other than on the floor. One wooden chair in the bedroom corner is all there is. No set of drawers for personal items / clothing for longer stays. There is one small drawer in the desk in the front room.
It is great to have the free breakfast downstairs, but for persons who have difficulty physically managing stairs, this is not an option. Having the Ricki's restaurant right off the lobby is great.

Not up to usual standards for a Wyndham property.
Pros:

Breakfast was included

Cons:

The bed was worn out, forced us to roll into the middle. The room wasn’t filthy, but not clean, there was what looked like soda drips down the wall beside the TV, walls and furniture were all chipped. The air conditioner was like the smallest, cheapest window shaker whose much larger wall opening was finished with left over building supplies. There was a chair in the room that had had one of the back legs broken off and screwed back together with wood screws. Upon check out, the staff did not ask how our stay was. The location makes it accessible only from northbound and as we came from the north, we had to drive a couple of kilometres to turn around. Nothing about this hotel is up to the usual standards for a Wyndham hotel.

Rooms clean nice breakfast
Pros:

The location was right on the main road and not far from town. The facility is being updated inside currently. The room was comfortable.

Cons:

The staff was not always friendly. I ended up having to wait two additional hours to get my room (excuse was it’s a bigger room takes longer to clean). But ppl that showed up later than us got checked in first.

Best price in the area with a pool. It was fine. Good location.
Pros:

Breakfast was great. Pool was good - more chairs would be nice. Beds were comfy.

Cons:

Room was adequate but dated and slightly tatty. Door of toilet didn't lock and big rip in the chair. Needs a spruce up for sure.
