Very clean, warm reception, felt safe, great value
Super clean. Really nice towels, bed pillows. A bit noisy and mattress was so-so, but the very friendly reception, location, value are unbeatable! Didn't expect to stay again so soon, but I now have a great little motel in Nanaimo I can rely on. Thank you, Buccaneer folks, for your good work!

Amazing value, wonderful reception, a bit noisy
Super clean, everything I needed. Nice quality room update. Noisy, but it seems that people don't care about other guests anymore. Some road noise. Extreme nice staff. Excellent value... thank you so much!

Very Good Motel
Stayed twice at Buccaneer Inn on road trip around Vancouver Island. Excellent self-catering facilities (microwave, full size stove top & oven, toaster, kettle, utensils, etc.) in clean and spacious 'apartment' with separate bedroom Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Ample parking and very convenient location for ferry terminal. Only real negative was slightly noisy at night from nearby roads. Would stay again.

I chose the property because it was in walking distance of the ferry and we only stayed one night, but the room was fitted with a kitchen and living room and had a nice view of the water (across the road). It looked like it would be a very good place to stay for a longer visit to the Nanaimo area. It was also very clean and had a good coffee maker.

Al Taf, especially thank you for your flexibility to accommodate my changed trip plan. If you had room appliances upgraded and air condition installed, I would be happy to come back to your place for my another summer trip to Nanaimo and Torino!

First of all, the front desk staff could not have been better. FANTASTIC front desk staff…. Hands down. Regarding the room, hot but the fan helped a bit. The bathroom floors were very sticky… didn’t want to walk barefoot. Wiped it down w/a washcloth and still sticky. Comforter had a stain but had been washed and set in. But again… front desk staff couldn’t have been nicer.

Simple accomodation done very well
The Buccaneer is obviously run by people who care deeply about doing a great job. It was really clean, comfortable, and the staff were all friendly, kind, and helpful. There was a minor problem with the weather stripping of the door, and this was taken care of immediately upon notifying the front desk. The only disappointment was that the laundry facilities have been closed down - this was not reflected on Hotels.com nor on the hotel's own website, so we had counted on having that available. Otherwise, a lovely stay!

We needed to stay within walking distance of the ferry terminal as we had several bags and no car. The Buccaneer was just right. It took us 15-20 minutes, taking our time. We arrived a couple of hours before check in. Our room was not quite ready but the manager on duty kindly let us keep the bags in his office, he even carried them all in for us. We had lunch at one of the pubs opposite then returned to check in. It was our first motel, we liked the option of using the kitchen though we ate out. It had a kettle and cream for our cups of tea. Place was clean, perfectly fine for our one night stay. Very attentive staff, went out of their way to help.
