My family chose this hotel based on its swimming pool and hot tub with water slide and found out…read morethat this is just part of the benefit of staying here. The staff is very helpful and they provided a list of great restaurants locally, we choose 1948 Kitchen and Bar and highly recommend it, check my review over there. The rooms here are nice and well cared for and clean. The included breakfast was great and the scrambled eggs were better than expected. The location is walking distance to both a gas station/convenience store as well as a nice liquor store. We brought our dog and there's great grass and trail up on the rail road tracks for a nice walk. Can recommend if you find yourself in Nanaimo!

We decided to stay here as the hotel is fairly new and it looks clean and modern from the website…read more It is located by the highway, about 5-10 mins drive to Ladysmith. You will definitely need a car if you are staying here. It seems to be a new development (Oyster Bay Village) with nothing much in the vicinity at the moment. There are two gas stations -- one is across the road with A&W attached, the other has Tim Hortons and a small gift shop corner inside. A liquor store is also in the area. The hotel itself is basic and serves our needs. Hand sanitizer is readily available, especially at high touch point places. Coffee and cucumber flavored iced water are available by the elevators. There is also a fitness room plus a swimming pool with a giant slide and jacuzzi to relax. No changing rooms in the pool area but there are showers and washrooms. The room we had was comfortable. Basic amenities were provided (soap and shampoo/conditioner). I like how each bed has 3 pillows and they are fluffy and supportive. Breakfast was included but due to covid, it was a light breakfast of 4 items (granola bar, muffin, yogurt and fruit). Indicate on the form what your would like and they would be placed outside your door in the morning. Free parking and wifi too. The only drawbacks were noise: 1. the air conditioning kept going on and off as it tried to keep to the temperature indicated on the thermostat. So that kept me awake. 2. Kids running around on the level above us. The thumping was pretty much non stop when they were in the room. And kids do wake up early. We only informed the front desk about that when they asked us on our experience when we checked out. I also indicated that a few days later in the email survey form. To the hotel's credit, the management replied with an explanation. The "auto" setting on the AC caused the on and off issue. It would not happen if I set it to "Lo" or "High". Well, if this could be clearly indicated somewhere in the room, that would be helpful. There is a control panel in the room with the temperature indicated where you need to turn it on or off. Then there is a physical air conditioner with its own control panel, and no temperature indicated. Every hotel is different, so we didn't know how this worked. Regarding the thumping noises caused by children running, we were told to contact the staff in future as they could advise their guests to tone it down. So for future reference, the bottom line is to contact the staff immediately if you encounter any issue (noise or otherwise). The staff at the front desk are fabulous. Friendly and welcoming. I do not mind staying here again if I am traveling in this area next time. I do like that it is away from the town area.

Cornerstones is a great bed and breakfast! On a recent overnight stay in beautiful Qualicum Beach,…read morewe had the opportunity to experience Carmen and John's charming accommodation. Our initial impressions of the home, both inside and out, were impressive. It is immaculately clean and tidy, and the hosts' attention to detail is evident everywhere. Live plants, antique furniture, and original art immediately made an impression on us upon entering the welcoming and spacious foyer. A short flight of stairs took us up to the guests' common area. A small kitchen area with a coffee machine, microwave, mini fridge, and sink are available for guests to use at any time in an area that includes a sofa, fireplace, and dining table. Morning coffee or tea is served here by the gracious hosts, and a delicious breakfast complete with homemade preserves is included! Adjoining the common area are the two large suites. Our room, the Sunrise, was especially comfortable with an antique table and chairs, tasteful art, quality linens, and a large private balcony. A flat screen television and guest wifi are also included. The spotless ensuite bathroom, complete with a soaker tub and walk-in shower, was an added bonus, as was the mini-fridge with complimentary soda water. After settling into the king-sized bed for the night, we had, without a doubt, one of the most comfortable and restful sleeps we've ever experienced away from home! And Cornerstones' location is fantastic! The quaint town centre with its numerous restaurants, shops, and theatre, is only a few minutes' walk away, and the famous beachfront is a ten to fifteen minute walk. We'd return to Cornerstones without any hesitation. Highly recommended!

My girlfriend is in this little town for a job so I decided to tag along. The hotel is at the end…read moreof a round about and is easily seen. It is not right off the main road but close to it. The check in process was quick and easily and the lady was super nice. They had a little desk with a sign that welcomed pets which I thought was super cute. It had a bowl of treats, towels, and poop bags. I love pet friendly hotels. Parking is super easy they have a lot right in front of the hotel. The hotel offers a pretty nice gym and an inside pool with a jacuzzi, I wish I brought my bathing suit. They also offer free hot breakfast in the dining area which was pretty amazing. I've been to several hotels that serve breakfast and it's crap. I uploaded some pictures of the breakfast. The room is super nice and cute. The only thing I can say bad is that my free lotion was previously used and never replaced. I'm vegan and I don't use fragrance or amainar products at all and I was so happy to see that they use vegetable based soap! Well back to the hotel room lol, the bedroom was in a little room that you had the ability to slide a door and close it. We have a little dining area a couch and a nice size kitchen. Since town closes pretty early around here I recommend you buy some groceries and make food. I would recommend that you stay here

Amazing ferry service between Vancouver and the islands…read more The boat is huge and could barely feel it move across the choppy waters of the inlets. The cafe was nice and great service too. Food tasty and great quality! After being used to the horrible service that is the norm on many US public transport, it was refreshing to see a great transit service.

This is the second time we are visiting St. Mary Lake Resort. The place is simply amazing…read more It is next to the lake and covered by woods. The view is breathtaking. Cabins are surprisingly comfortable, both cabins we stayed were really clean, they have kitchens and of course a BBQ ready :) Prices are also great, if you're coming as a group like we did, it is very affordable. Owner is friendly and ready to help whenever you need, but also respectful to your privacy. We are in love with this place and we will definitely keep coming on each opportunity :)

Would be a great place to go with large groups, as they have 8 or 9 cabins to rent out, and it's right on a lake, so you could make it your summer family get together. We used their paddle boats, which are free for guests. We went during "shoulder" season, not summer not winter, so we got a good deal. 5 min drive from middle of town. Owner not outwardly friendly, but if you don't care to make friends with host/owner, this is a great place. Not rude, just not overly friendly.

This experience was the best part of our trip! The pilots were exceptional and very professional…read more It was so enthralling to fly from Victoria to Vancouver and back again. Going to Victoria we flew a single-engine plane, which may have been older, but was so exciting. This trip took longer so we had more time to savor the beauty of the water and islands speckled throughout the landscape. On the way back, we flew a twin-engine which was faster but almost as exciting. The representatives were a little officious but they could not damper the excitement of these flights. We booked the flights and a tour of the Capilano bridge through Harbour Air and could not have been more delighted.

Horrible service! They cancelled our flight with almost no notice despite deciding to do so hours…read moreearlier. Instead of flying to Vancouver from Tofino we got the privilege to ride in a shuttle bus across the island to Nanaimo as there were no other options by the time they told us our flight was cancelled. They sited poor weather yet it looked very clear to us and to Apple weather app across the entire island. Other float planes were landing while stuck waiting for their shuttle. Flying costs 3x the price, yet no compensation was given. Horrible customer service. Think hard before booking with them.
