They were full and set us up in a buietifull b&b it was amazing for same price
Ingo
The room was clean, more coffee in the room not just 2, warmer water for shower and wash basin. The picture on the web site is not the view you have and the beach you have to find somewhere in Nanaimo
Edward
I got the pet friendly room, which was pretty run down. Not as clean as as it could be. Just because i have a pet does not mean a run down room? That is what the pet fee covers i thought?
Sandra
Yes they have been so good tonus
Crystal
easy parking but beds are uncomfortable & water was cold to shower.
Crystal
parking is ideal , aside from all the serins its a great lil spot to stay. It’s a lil outdated but clean
Belinda
Was a very good deal for having 2 separate rooms. Bathroom was nicely renovated. Bed was firm and comfortable. Good location not too far from downtown, but is along a busy road so if you are in the room facing the road, you can still hear some cars at night.
caterina
Room was ok but carpet was very dirty. Did not see much of an ocean view and the location was in a questionable area of the town. Lots of homeless people around and we did not feel very safe.
mike
The only thing I can say is the fan in the bathroom was very noisy. They need to put a New one in ASAP
Anthony
Enjoyable stay
Nice community location. A few businesses close by. Clean inside and out. All necessities. Comfortable beds, all necessities required and quiet.
Crystal
Great place to stay & clean
Patti
Pet friendly, nice staff. Didnt care for location
Robert
The price I paid was $100 more than what the app stated it would be. It was a motel with poor air-conditioning in only the main area, not the bedrooms.
I didn't want to spend a great deal as it was a stopover. I could have stayed at a finer place for the same amount of money. The induction stove top was shattered in a corner.

Basic as basic gets. Very dirty room. Area is not great. Bed was good
Geoffrey
No where near by to get breakfast, have to drive two blocks down from the hotel recommend by staff.
Nancy
Front end staff were great.
Christopher
2 bedroom room was clean. Check in a breeze. Beds were average. Wifi was spotty. Road was noisy but couldn’t really hear from the room. Could really hear the people stomping upstairs. Overall for the price I would stay again. Pet friendly a big plus. MGM restaurant just down across the street was excellent
Muhammad
Good value for money but needs improvement. Motel needs to be refurbished. There was only one mirror in the whole family suite which was certainly not enough. Sofa needed upgrading.
Scott
Property had some cooking facilities that were very handy
???

Crystal
Great friendly service . The family suite is nice & spacious, just the only down fall was the hot water running out half way through 1 shower (there were 5 of us) & the weak water pressure but otherwise great place to stay , beds are comfortable & the free parking was a bonus.
Zoe
I knew what I was getting into booking a hotel in this side of town. We have stayed in motels in this area before and know they are nothing fancy, but usually a good deal. This was THE dirtiest motel I’ve ever stayed at. I mean filthy. The floors were so grimy, the ceiling fan leaked, everything was disgusting. And the biggest kicker? I had to dispute our deposit fee with my credit card company as we stayed a month ago and it still wasn’t refunded. 10/10 do not recommend. There are other low cost motels that are better than this.
cuong

Matthew
Still waiting for my deposit back.
Dilraj
Easy to locate, just by road side. The staff at the front desk not welcoming at all!
Carmelia
Older motel that is being updated. Not the nicest location but close to the ferry terminal and was very clean. Cleaner than most 3 stars Ive stayed at. I would definitely come back.
Leon

Rachel
The check in staff was rude, and he was assuming I was a party animal. He gave me ALL the rules when all I wanted to do was check in and sleep. The towels and bathroom were not clean, and there were burn marks all over the floors.
Zakir
We had a very pleasant experience. The customer service was excellent — the staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Although I didn’t book the kitchenette option, they kindly provided plates, spoons, and forks upon request, which I really appreciated. The room was clean, spacious, odor-free, and surprisingly quiet despite being close to the road. We also felt completely safe throughout our stay. Overall, a great and comfortable visit.
Shannon
I’ve stayed here a couple times. The bathrooms are nicely renovated laminate flooring is a plus also. They take nice care of the property. My first stay the room was spotless, second time staying the room needed was clean in high touch areas but could use clean in does and baseboards. Parking is well lit and felt safe going to my vehicle. Excellent value.
Sarah Marie
Towels were damp and dirty.
Janet
The room was clean, bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean however the hot water temperature and pressure could have better.
Joe
Stay elsewhere
Front desk lady is extremely rude. She thinks her place is a 4 Seasons when in reality its worse than an average Motel 6. Motel is old and run down. Room smelled like pee.
Rooms have a 4 digit numerical code to enter to unlock the dead bolt and if you look at the numbers on the lock you can see what the 4 digits are because they are worn out on the keypad on the door.
The actual front door handle to my room kept falling off. I couldnt get into my room on the second day and the hotel lady instead of saying sorry for the broken lock and handle said to me that I should just accept the situation and act cool to try to impress my partner who was with me. I still cant believe she tried to gaslight me.
Stay away from this place.

It was great. They had an issue with our booking, so upgraded us for free. It was great. Great staff, very helpful! Felt safe.
Lyn
I really appreciate they allow dogs ($10 fee) the closeness to the ferry terminal is perfect. Upgrades, good bed clean, nice new walk- shower. Just need to pay attention to the bathroom floor, spots on the walls, Hair on the floor. Not just 1 hair but a few. The rest of the place is cleaner... wear shoes
Chris Carlo
Good customer service. The staff were nice, respectful and helpful. It’s a cheap stay so you get what you paid for as the property is quite old. BUT it’s very clean, spacious, no smell and quiet despite of the location near the road. We felt safe too. So overall it was a good stay.

Bruce
The motel was clean and close to nearby shops for groceries and restaurants. It was on a busy street so during the day in the front room you could hear the traffic. The furniture in the unit was a little worn. The walk in shower in the bathroom was very large which was nice. For being a budget motel it was good overall.

Kevin
Decent price. Friendly staff. No bad for the room.

Clean. Convineant.
Marna
“Oceanview” from first floor was a sliver, houses and trees blocked any chance of view. No instructions on how to use the induction cooktop. Check in was quick. Convenient parking.
Kristi
No check in after 11 PM (that is more than an hour after the last ferry)
Cathay
Place was easy to find and right in the city.
krystal
Amazing staff and nice big room, they did a good job on the renovations since the last time i stayed. They allow animals with no restrictions on dogs. We didnt leave the room after dark cause of the homeless and drug addicts thay were roaming around. Well letting our dogs go to the bathroom we found a few needles and baggies with powder in it. Ither then that no complaints at all and would book there again.
Cara
It was an adequate stop over for a family but the walls were so dirty in the kitchen I washed them myself. Bedrooms were nice and comfy. Bathroom was nice (windowsill rotting though). Staff were friendly and gave me laundry soap when I asked so I could use the coin laundry. Neighbourhood is a bit iffy but so is most of Nanaimo I guess. Lots of homeless and drug use in the surrounding areas.
Viano
For the price range the room offered everything I could want. The only issue for me was there wasnt a tub for a bath.
Caro
The microwave was not cleaned, the bathroom toilet didn’t seem to have been cleaned either, there was not shampoo.
Amanda
What we expected for the price. Ant infestation throughout the family unit/bathroom and no parking when we returned from our event, means i wouldnt book again.
Lizzie
Just wow. I understand its not the best area of town but it was wonderful cheap spacious and clean. I would 10/10 stay again and be fine with having my small shildern and pet here.
Daffodel
The only thing is the smell in the room,eventhough everything is clean( how much you clean it or spray it),you still got the like mold,old carpet or something smell. Hope they will sort these out.. otherwise the place is good and convenient..
Douglas
Great for a cheaper place to stay

Worst place i stayed in
I would suggest to the owner of this motel to give attention to the housekeeping. The room we stayed in gave my kids a nightmare due to ants all over the place. My son carried a big spray for emergency purposes, and voila
Cheryl
A bug Thank you to the man at the desk who stayed up to wait for us because our flight was late
Stephen
Good value for money.
Two bedrooms, two TVs, good cable channels. Excellent, fast WIFI. Back bedroom is quiet facing ocean. Easy access off of highway.
Marilyn
Service was good. Debit machine sucks, tried 5 times, now I have to wait till 9am to try again. Other than that was good. Pet freindly, didnt say online that there was a 15$ pet deposit
Amy
Don’t forget shampoo
The idea is there for eco friendly but they don’t fill the toiletries in washroom. All the shampoo and body wash containers were empty and only half roll of toilet paper.
Vivian
It was a nice stay
Verified traveler
Place was clean, bathroom looks recently renovated. It's a good place if you just need a room to sleep for the night.
Julia
Everything was very clean and nice. The service was very good and for a good price. Very happy with our stay!
sandhu
Overall really good specially cleaning. Low budget but really really good
Rasmus
Decent stay with fair price.
Just what we needed, fine for the price.
Wing
The unit is big, clean, easy access from the highway. There is a big living room with a sofa bed on top of a queen side bed in the bedroom, two TVs in the whole unit. The room is at the back end of the unit. Can't hear any noise from the highway even though it is right next to it. It is vey close to the BC ferry terminal. Close to downtown Nanaimo. There is an induction stove top, micro wave, toaster, water boiler and dinnerware set in the unit. The motel deserves more than a 2 stars rating.
Marisa
The Diplomat was cheap and convenient. We knew it was a motel and had motel expectations, but we were surprised to see the common area in our room (101) to be so big. I would have liked it if there was a cooling system or air conditioning unit in the bedrooms, but we were patient and let Mother Nature cool off our room as the sun went down.
All in all, it was a one-night stay and it was surprisingly good for motel standards! No complaints!

This is my second stay at the Diplomat and I will definately be staying again next time I'm in Nanaimo.
Baljit
Good experience I like it
Aaron
Management cuts too many corners...
When I dropped a pen and it rolled under the bed I went to retrieve it and noticed a few pieces of trash, one of them was a receipt from a fast food restaurant from six months ago and there was quite a bit of dust as well. I also noticed the room next door that had a couple children with were very loud and they kept us up almost the entire night. On our last night we had to wait until almost noon before there was hot water to take a shower, so all in all they have some work to do...
Lolita
It was an okay area of Nanaimo. But there is a lot of homeless people around. They were harmless. Other than that rooms were good, clean, staff was very helpful.
Trevor
The room was dog friendly, which was our main reason for booking. It was definitely good for what we needed it for and affordable.

I enjoyed the room, most of the staff was pleasant. The owner/manager cancelled my booking in the afternoon, proceeded to phone after 10pm asking if I were showing up. I showed up and again refused my stay without explanation
Anita
It’s great property central however at night the area felt unsafe with homeless shelter a block away . The owners were kind . Poor wifi and tv no working remotes . The electrical panel was in our main room and there was a hole in the wall shower curtain smelled . But we were only there to sleep so met our needs .
Shakila
Diplomat Motel is the best I see in Nanaimo so kind and lovely staff and everything was really good
Valerie
The rooms were musty smelling. There was no green area for pets. The flooring was inexpensive laminate flooring, dangerous to my older dog who had great difficulty getting up.
Cinthia
Very quiet and upgraded.
Chung Pak
One inner room with AC and the other room was too hot to sleep.
