Harbour Light Motel

“Great in a pinch.”

Convenient location, but the rooms weren't soundproof.

“Will not stay again.”

The room needed some updating, yet the bed was comfortable. We were assigned a ground‑floor room at the back of the building, which had poor lighting and felt unsafe—especially given Nanaimo’s homeless population. I think the manager might have thought we’d appreciate being away from the main road. This was my second visit; during my first stay several years ago, my car was broken into in the front parking lot. I came back to see if conditions had improved, and although no one was seen roaming the parking lot or back area, the dim lighting still made me uneasy about the room’s location. If my wife had been alone, I would have been more worried. We could have requested a different room without the dark access. The manager was very nice, but I still didn’t feel safe walking to the room at night, so we won’t return.

“Mixed experience, feels expensive for the location”

I was upgraded to a king room, which was great—thanks. The bed was nice, the desk was large, and the coffee machine was high quality. However, the location wasn’t ideal and, although it’s walkable to downtown, it didn’t feel very safe. The property itself had a loose door lock and safety latch. The hotel wasn’t at fault, but loud neighbours kept me up until 1:30 am.

I booked this affordable motel for an overnight stay because the ferry and bus schedules didn’t line up well. I thought I’d reserved the cheapest double room, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it was a four-person room with two queen beds — I had the whole space all to myself! The host was incredibly friendly and helpful. They carefully walked me through the check‑in and check‑out process, and kindly arranged a taxi for me when I was leaving. The room was spotless with no unpleasant odours. Heating, bathroom facilities and free Wi‑Fi all worked perfectly. Even outside peak season, the price is excellent for what you get

“It was Excellent and a clean stay”

The room was clean and everything was in its proper place. The coffee maker and microwave were properly sanitized and cleaned. The washroom had all the amenities like clean towels, soaps, and shampoo for a bath. I didn’t like the quiet room and clean room. I didn’t like that the motel is at the center of the city and close to restaurants, fruit shops, or McDonald’s.
