rated motel with a Canada Select 3.5 Star Rating rating from Tourism
British Columbia. Tourism British Columbia
repeatedly compliments us on our marvelous renovations and
great housekeeping! And we've received 4 consecutive perfect housekeeping scores from them!
In 2006, AAA approved our property and awarded us a 2 Diamond rating. We are now the only motel in Nanaimo approved by AAA and CAA! AAA recently re-inspected our property and the inspector commented on our ... "outstanding housekeeping!".
