Best Western Dorchester Hotel

Hotel in Nanaimo

Take a room with a view of the harbour - it's beautiful. The staff are very helpful. Although the car park looks small at first, the hotel also uses the one next to it and you can also park in the public car park if these are full and the hotel will refund the cost. The restaurant serves excellent food. Being 90 minutes from Victoria and about the same to Campbell River and having a ferry to Vancouver and the sea planes on the doorstep, it's well positioned for exploring the island.

It was an excellent facility. But most memorable was the staff - the manager was wonderful. He worked diligently to address an issue with the booking process - a problem not of his making, I might add. Really wonderful.

Breakfast included in the room rate was pleasant surprise. Also bottled water complimentary from reception. Although located within a business park the location was convenient for exploring both north and south of Nanaimo, and a few restaurants within walking distance.

Amazing location on the beach. We had a family suit and it was lovely and very comfortable. Small kitchen, all necessary supplies, dishwasher - all that you need for a family. A gas chimney was really cool (cozy and warm). Very good restaurant in the hotel and you can order room service including breakfast. The personnel were very welcoming and friendly. We shall definitely get back here.

Excellent motel! Clean rooms with comfy bed and good shower pressure. Great facilities - fridge and coffee maker in each room and extras available at reception with cold, filtered water also available. Free mini golf next door and popcorn available at reception. Reception open until midnight and everyone who served us was really friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable.

Fantastic view and close proximity to the ocean. Lovely garden with patios and chairs though the weather did not allow for much use of it. We enjoyed walking on the beach and found downtown Qualicum beach beautiful and very convenient. The flat itself was beautifully decorated and well furnished. We would have loved to have stayed longer!

The location was just south of the city center but within walking distance. Parking in front of the room was very convenient. Check-in was efficient by super-friendly Alan. Room was spacious and clean. Check-out was an easy drop-oof of the key and we were on our way.

Nice to have a breakfast in the morning but I found the omelet and sausage bland. The waffles were fun. The room was great. We booked two rooms so our family could join us. Wish we could have had adjoining rooms but one wasn't available.

Parksville is a pretty area to visit.

Parksville is a pretty area to visit. If you like smaller places to stay, I'd recommend coming here. There's lots to see and do. Had breakfast at the Brazen Poppy Cafe. Great food and coffee. Would have gone twice, but was closed one of the days we were in the area. Parksville is close to Coombs to see the goats on the roof and take a wander through the Market and all the stores in the area. Also a fairly short drive to Cathedral Grove which is a great place to walk around in all the large trees. There is a Butterfly World close by that was fascinating to go through. On our next trip to Vancouver Island, this would be on our list of places to come back to.

Everything was great!

Everything was great! We found the bed to be comfy at first but it ended up being too soft for us. Some people may prefer it that way and that’s ok. We are just used to a firmer bed. Fabulous view and a nice little balcony to sit and enjoy it! Friendly staff too!

The space was great.

The space was great. Sat on the couch and could see the ocean view. I easily walked around the neighbourhood. There is a marina within walking distance with a restaurant and coffee shop. Very lovely but was closed during my stay. Ate at Qualicum Beach Cafe. Great happy hour menu and also at The BeachClub Resort in Parksville. You do need a car. Lots of hiking, biking, walking, kayaking and beaches.

This wasn't our first trip to Nanaimo so we did know our way around most of the city and beyond, but it is always a great place to be. We love the well planned Harbour walkways, many events in the parks, the beach trails. Our favourite beach walks are Piper's Lagoon and Neck Point. There are many good music venues, restaurants, scenic drives and walks. We easily found side roads that were basically parallel to the highway to get to and from downtown. Nanaimo has has a LOT to offer any visitor of any age! Can't wait to return!

Not much to do, really; except relaxing in the hotel facilities and enjoying the scenery. Parksville could benefit greatly from a few more nice dining facilities and cafés. Also, unlike towns such as Campbell River, Parksville did not offer any opportunities for browsing and shopping.

The farmers market on Saturday was fantastic - I got the best scones I've ever had from one of the vendors. it would have been nice to have a little more time to explore the town and the beach but we were there for a wedding so had limited "tourist" hours

Stayed here coming back from Tofino to catch the Nanaimo ferry the next day. Fabulous hosts, great views over the Bay from the hillside, easy access, spacious property, immaculately clean, peace and quiet, yet close to town. Certainly a place I will will come back to soon. I rate it five stars. At the Provincial Park in nearby Parkville, I saw 12 orcas right off the beach.

The Inner Harbor was beautiful.

The Inner Harbor was beautiful. The Snowbirds did a show when I was there. The harbor was lively and fun. The hiking in the area was awesome. Nanaimo is easy to navigate with a car. Great halfway stop between Victoria and Tofino.

We were there for the last 3 days of the beach festival.

We were there for the last 3 days of the beach festival. The sand sculptures, illuminated at night, were amazing (in the true meaning of the word) in their artistry and creativity. The beaches, parks and old growth trees were a delight to see. There are several excellent and unique restaurants. This town is perfect for a romantic couple's break or for a family with children. A suggestion for the City Council: Provide a small, free, illustrated map of the city with various attractions and the unique places to eat, visit and play.0 Tony Keble.
