Summary: Good location, central to a lot of Nanaimo. A little away from the noise of the highway, but close enough for easy access. Nanaimo North Mall very close with lots of restaurants too. Nice little balcony to enjoy a coffee on in the morning.

Summary: We very much enjoyed our annual stay at The Grand. Excellent, friendly service. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious as always although the Mother’s Day brunch could have been organized a bit better. We were surprised not to have a balcony in our Deluxe room this time. We’ll have to be sure to request it next year.
Annely May 29, 2025 06:17:38 AM
Summary: We enjoyed our night , it’s a bit noisy from the road near by, but it was nice to have a balcony and everyone we encountered was friendly
Don May 28, 2025 02:58:56 AM
Summary: Large rooms with gas fireplace. Clean with good beds. Air conditioner is limited to how low the cooling setting is allowed, which was not as low as we would like for sleeping! If you like a warm room, this is a good spot for you!
Ross May 26, 2025 03:54:41 AM
Summary: Clean room. Hotel very out of date. Cracked tile in bathroom. Floors are terrible. Carpet is 30 years old and totally wrecked - backing appears to have cone off and bunched up causing very uncomfortable and uneven walking. Do not take off your shoes. Tacky front entrance. Needs a major update - probably all original when built in late 90s

Summary: Great stay
