Reception lady was friendly and welcoming. OK position if you are going to/from ferry terminal.

This motel has clearly seen better days. Very basic rooms, oldish furniture and fittings, TV in a position where it is hard to look at ( didn't seem to work beyond 1 channel). Overpriced for this level. No breakfast facility, even if one wanted to pay for it. 2nd floor, no elevator.

Buccaneer Inn is located close to the ferry terminal and 30 minutes walk along the street and then along the Harbourside Trail to the harbour. Our room had a kitchen which we didn’t need and during the heat wave was cool without A.C but a couple of fans. The accommodation was quite large (a suite) with sofa, table and 2 chairs plus cutlery, plates, coffee maker (which we used) and real milk in the fridge (not coffeemate which I can’t stand). Other things such as the beds and bathroom with shower and bath tub met expectations.

You just had to be careful exiting the parking lot as it has restricted sight lines on your left.

Opening the front door and watching the boats going by was so amazing. Even with no air conditioning and the hottest days of the year so far it was still cool.

Very clean place. Stayed here once before and liked it then very much. Co-Owner Dave very knowledgeable and helpful.Enjoyed eating at the recommended Japanese restaurant Bistro Taiyo, where the food and service was excellent.

The room was very nice, clean, comfortable and quiet. Check in staff very friendly. Much appreciated!

Better mobility access.

I was a bit resistant to book a motel at first due to the impression I had from TV shows. But after staying at this hotel, I found it exceeded my expectations. I could feel that the owner must be very detail-oriented and clean. I really enjoyed the stay at Buccaneer Inn. I will come back if I had the chance to come back Nanaimo..

Key fob was cool! Clean, tidy, plenty go room for family of 3. Nice outlook.

Busy road. Long way to local amenities.

Really clean. Prompt replacement of non-working toaster, with a smile. Daily housecleaning was great. Simple, clean, unfussy room. Meet our needs perfectly. Suggestions for improvement: I suggest that they include one roll of paper towel in the kitchen area. Also they could mount the cutlery holder as a pull out drawer under the microwave. That way it is more accessible at a lower height and would free up storage for food stuff.

What I didn't like is something that Buccaneer cannot control. There is bulk fuel plant just a half block away and the semi-trailers unload throughout the night. If you have your window open, there are sounds around midnight and early am hours of semi trailers trucks driving and the hiss of stopped trucks. Earplugs work but it is unfortunate that the night isn't as quiet as it could be in that neighborhood. Perhaps the owners could petition the City have the bulk station not have fuel transfers during the sleeping hours of 10 PM to 7 AM..
