We enjoyed our night , it’s a bit noisy from the road near by, but it was nice to have a balcony and everyone we encountered was friendly

Beautiful hotel and would stay there in a heart beat.
Bradley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We very much enjoyed our annual stay at The Grand. Excellent, friendly service. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious as always although the Mother’s Day brunch could have been organized a bit better. We were surprised not to have a balcony in our Deluxe room this time. We’ll have to be sure to request it next year.

Maurice, 1-night trip

Large rooms with gas fireplace. Clean with good beds. Air conditioner is limited to how low the cooling setting is allowed, which was not as low as we would like for sleeping! If you like a warm room, this is a good spot for you!

So nice! Very clean and even our dogs seemed to relax in a new and unexpected environment. It had a nice little kitchenette and a very spacious king bedroom. Staff were always happy to accommodate our needs. Not our first week long stay. Wonderful!

The Hotel in general is very clean, Friendly. efficient check-in and check-out. And Honest! The rooms were a bit on the warm side but I will figure out how to lower the temperature when I return next week. Thank you for your Hospitality

Dont take your shoes off when walking on carpet

Clean room. Hotel very out of date. Cracked tile in bathroom. Floors are terrible. Carpet is 30 years old and totally wrecked - backing appears to have cone off and bunched up causing very uncomfortable and uneven walking. Do not take off your shoes. Tacky front entrance. Needs a major update - probably all original when built in late 90s

Older hotel but nicely kept, very good beds, excellent front desk staff.
Janice, 1-night trip

Love the elegance and old world glam that this hotel has. You walk in and are transported back in time. The lovely desk clerk was such a helpful, welcoming addition to the vibe. When we come to Nanaimo I try and book here because of the staff and the rooms.
