Overnight stay

Close to ferry terminal. Garden looked nice but not accessible.

The location is sketchy. On busy road and no fencing for privacy and security. Couldn't open window in bathroom due to someone smoking right outside! That's the only venting for bathroom! The room was very dated but the new flooring and furniture makes a nice improvement. Unfortunately the second room had no a/c and floor fan was not working and very hot at night. Fridge was leaking had to use towels to mop.

Perfect for my needs - a comfortable, safe place to sleep : close to my business location.

Fridge + microwave + coffee machine was perfect for my needs. I had an air-conditioner & a fan which was perfect : cooled the room down ... then just the fan at night for sleeping. Liked having the Korean restaurant on site - after a long day at a workshop it was nice to not have to find food ! Balcony off the room with table & chairs just perfect for morning coffee & breakfast (my own) overlooking the palm trees in the garden square, and relaxing with a glass of wine at the end of the day. I liked the floors being wood : never been crazy about carpeted hotels ! Despite being on the corner of a major intersection - not at all noisy. However - this offered instant access to the rest of Nanaimo - only 7 mins from the Ferry terminal. Very quiet - no disturbances even though it was a weekend. Free parking conveniently near the room .

The TV was big - but very complicated to access - so after a while I didn't bother. However when I asked for assistance a maintenance person came up right away and adjusted the settings.

Nice comfortable stay for a good price.

Nice option for traveling with a group.

There were issues with the power, however, i believe they were doing work on it the day we left.

SHITTY!!!!

Nothing.

Everything. Location noisy; room 201 there were 2-3 older men noisy & banging until well past 11pm - called front desk 3 times to deal it but very little change; car alarm went off 3 times by our room - no problem; safety concerns in room - insecure microwave/swallow shelf - almost fell off, shelving unit over toilet not secured almost tipped over using it to get in/out of very deep tub - 1 handrail, bathroom mouldy trim & no hairdryer or receptacle for shaver, miss matched lighting; main room/bed not very comfortable or functional - only one nightstand & no clothes storage or hangers; 2nd room with 2 beds - no night stand, very basic. Garbage around stairs from time of arrival/departure. I contacted Management Thurs mid day before Friday to adjust reservation regarding 1 of 3 unable to come, they didn’t return until Friday day of travel on ferry. I did not return call because we arrived just past 4pm check - in - No Accommodation so paid reservation. Management sent 2 emails later Friday confirming they would allow cancellation but didn’t offer it at time of check-in. This business is shady, poorly run, rundown & dirty overall. definitely the worst accommodations I’ve booked through booking.com & will never do repeat or recommend. Pay at time of departure so you don’t get screwed.

I will not use booking.com again. Charges far more than was quoted.

Pleasant decor. Fridge and microwave. Lovely garden courtyard down below. Some units (not mine) had balconies with outdoor furniture.

*Noisy - heavy traffic and tenants on balconies. *I am 5'3".The bed was more than hip height and firm. I had to pull over the sitting chair to help get up on it; still challenging. *No A/C. *Floor blackened my feet!

I did not like my stay here at all because .....With no reason or cause the staff canceled or booking with booking.com on the basis that we were a no show while we were currently renting a room from them and now they had the police come to kick us out without cause or reason and will not accept payment for our stay even though it's a valid booking ..... I woke up this morning noticed a half a foot of snow covering the ground got up and went and helped shovel the snow all the way around the hotel we haven't been any problem we haven't caused them any issues and still even after that they would not accept payment for my valid booking the staff are harassing us and are being obnoxious and threatening us it's not a good place to stay

The attitude of staff and the lies they are constantly telling me

As a whole, our stay was very good and I will recommend it to my friends.

Admission and room service staff were friendly and respectful

There was no iron and electric kettle in room before we asked for those.

Cozy and comfortable as always.

For the value they charge, Port-O-Call is a great place to stay. Always very clean, with helpful and and very friendly staff. I have stayed here several times and have always had a good experience with them.

The only thing that this time made a bit of a discomfort for me was the leaking of the bathroom ceiling. It wasn't much, only a few droplets and was taken care of in a timely manner. It didn't end up being a major concern.

Our experience didn’t go well. We were locked inside our bedroom

We couldn’t run the aircon continuously as they get short circuit on power.
