LODGING

The View From Your Suite!Since 1998 The Buccaneer Inn has been Nanaimo's highest 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 6 consecutive perfect housekeeping scores from them!

In 2006, AAA approached us and asked that they be allowed to inspect our property for inclusion in their books and website. They approved our property and awarded us a 2 Diamond rating. We are now the only motel in Nanaimo approved by AAA and CAA! AAA re-inspects our property yearly and on one of their recent inspections the inspector commented on our ... "outstanding housekeeping!".
