For 2 different nights in two rooms.In both rooms the windows could not be closed completely (because of adaptation deficits with the new AC System. Thus the noise of the heavy traffic on the street nearby diminished the comfort greatly. Moreover the second room was filled with an unacceptable smoke-odor, which penetrated all my cloths within the open suitcase Obviously not enough care was taken to prevent smokers from smoking in or too close to the room. At the reception they were not aware of this situation - in both cases the friendly staff at the reception tried to help with air-fresh- spray ..and with taking out the AC System .. in order to be able to close the window at least. The back rooms further back behind the Greens of the nice garden with fountain -further away from the street .. might be somewhat better ( when they are smoke-free with closing windows (?))

Overall, an average stay in all aspects. Nothing unexpected but also nothing extraordinary. The check-in process was easy. The front staff was nice. The property surroundings are alright but can seem sketchy to some. We didn't notice much except for the amazing authentic Korean restaurant next door. Dunno if there's anything else around. The room was neat which was good. It had functioning heating, cooling, hot water, cable tv, and wifi. Their windows face the walkway so privacy is challenging. Either don't mind the outside or keep curtains closed. The bed was alright except that ours constantly made this squeaky sound whenever we move, loose frame or headboard(?) It woke me up a few times from me myself moving and/or my partner. The bathroom didn't seem to have an operating vent fan but there was a window one could crack open. The room was clean in the general aspects but some details like window frame and nooks and crannies can use some more attention. A good hotel for the price and a short overnight stay on the road but not one I'd recommend for a staycation. Lower star hotels in the area and their prices have gone up which does not reflect what they offer so the difference between them and a higher end one should be greatly considered.

Front desk wasn’t friendly. Told restaurant was closed the day I checked in but it’s permanently closed. Told that there were no food delivery services in town -not true. Paid extra for dog, then told that dog wasn’t allowed in central garden. No ice. Room stark. Located on busiest street in sketchy neighbourhood. Cable didn’t work. Limited time on internet. Couldn’t check out fast enough! Never again!

We were in Nanaimo for a ball tournament. We're gone from 8 till 8 so the room is just for crashing until the next day of games. We were looking for clean and inexpensive (since we're not spending any time other than bedtime) and the Port O Call has been our choice for a few years now. The rooms are small but the beds are comfortable. Friendly front desk staff do their best to get you checked in quickly. It is in a busy urban area so bring ear plugs, not the Inn's fault people drive by loudly. :-) We happened to visit during a heat wave so the AC struggled a little but we slept well enough.

The person at the front desk was not very friendly especially when told we had two dogs. If you have an issue then don't be a pet friendly establishment. There was hair around the tub area, not ok.

Overall good cheap property to stay at for a few nights. The biggest problem was the loud open exhaust motorcycles speeding by the hotel at all hours of the day and night on Terminal Ave North.

It was a very clean and upgraded room. Beds are comfortable and motel is walking distance to downtown. Some improvements: providing some herbal teas and decaf coffee for those who do not use caffeine. One box of kleenex (tissue) per room.

I have been to this hotel a number of times but was not super happy this time as the heat was not turned on in the room when I arrived. Was very cold and took a good hour to heat up. I think this is unacceptable for a hotel but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt this time.

The stay was good. The room was clean . The only problem was that the fan in the washroom didn’t work and the main door to the room needed repair as it was hard to lock and open from the inside. I would recommend this stop.

You get what you pay for and a little less The woman at the he front desk wasn’t at all friendly. Very noisy and seems like most customers were smokers.

When we first walked in, the room had an odour that wasn’t pleasant (a combination of smoke & a stale smell (the skirting on the bed and the curtains had what looked like old dry vomit on them - we noticed this in the morning).The window in the washroom was left open; most likely to try to get the smell out. There was no fan in the washroom & when you showered, the shower head was awkwardly placed (it was uncomfortable).When the wind was blowing during the night, the door rattled as if someone one trying to come in.
