Arrowsmith-Benson Hotellit

”Beautiful property with great views and an excellent breakfast!”

”Very nice, big room. Kitchenette was really handy.”

”The Cottage and Castle is absolutely charming, beautifully decorated and situated in a lovely neighborhood of colourfully painted houses and As well it is anIt’s a real gem. However as we returned after an evening out the stench in the air from a soil, composting, wastewater and recycling treatment plant was overwhelming. I there is a solution to this as Chemainus is a charming town and the Cottage and Castle was exceptional! ”

”Oh boy...I greatly dislike writing negative reviews. While Chemainus is adorable, the location is fantastic and the exterior is a dream...this aint it. Mouldy drapes, a number of amenities were broken (electric fireplace, mouldy fridge), no wifi, questionably clean bedsheets. And (I have photos as proof) a white substance residue left on the counter next to the bed. I will say that the indoor jet tub was amazing! I swear I heard a cough below us at one point and noticed a little door that looked...

”This was the perfect place for our staying at Nanaimo. It was close to parks for walking in, very quiet and spacious, and the view was spectacular! We loved our stay here.”

”I think it was a good place to stay. It's a bit loud near the highway but the window is very good at blocking the sound. Better than you'd expect for the price.”

”Parking was good. Check-in was easy and the staff was extraordinarily kind and responsive. The Inn is definitely in the vintage category, but well-maintained and clean. The beds are exceptionally comfy and inviting. In a conversation with a guest in another room, I mentioned that the beds felt like crawling inside the perfect marshmallow and she agreed. Crisp - soft snowy white linens and duvet. Each window had high quality blackout curtains, which made things feel cozy and private. We...

”Great location, view, and staff!!”

”Great staff and great rooms ”

”Great staff, great location, the room was lovely overlooking a park and marina, all in all it could not have been a nice stay.”

”I was surprised to find such clean, ideally located hostel in downtown Nanaimo. John was amazing. He accompanied my request and went beyond with friendliness and professional handling the situation. A really gem in town. Thank you.”

”Clean room, nice update of the bathroom, good parking, helpful staff while still booking. Will recommend. Useful kitchenette for extra washing sink.”

”Booked because of 2 bedrooms (mom + 60 yr old son). Back bedroom with 2 queens (bed very comfy) but lamp on a table at end of beds with sharp corners & turned off by switch (so no light in the night! & unable to read in bed); as very tight space expect usually used by children. What was o.k. but could be better: at least coffee for 5 beds (not 2), drapes in front above heater shorter so as to feel that it was working (safety pins saved the night!). Too bad garbage is picked up at 7 a.m.; would...

”Clean place.”

”The fan in the washroom was noisy and the main road in front of motel is busy day and night but the room was renovated and clean. Good place for the money.”

”Property is located right off the highway so it is a busy spot. Close the stores and groceries. Beds weren't the most comfortable but slept on worse. The man who checked me in was kind enough to move me to a room that would be quiet as I was going to be up very early for the ferry.”

”Friendly staff”
