This is an old-style drive up motel located on a pretty lake north of Nanaimo. I was actually…read morepleasantly surprised by our room. The bed was comfortable and overlooked the lake. It had a decent sized fridge with a freezer in top which I appreciated because we had a cooler with re-freezable ice packs. It also had a microwave and a keurig coffee maker with creamer, etc. The included breakfast, however, was marginal to bad. Overcooked scrambled eggs, a toaster that didn't work very well and took forever to make any toast at all. A waffle maker that a guest told me not to use because it didn't work. The fruit was precut up and soaking in sugar syrup. Not tasty. Aside from the breakfast we enjoyed our stay and would return.

Complimentary breakfast was simple with an assortment of packaged muffins, yogurt, fruit and coffee. On the other hand, the facilities itself are only okay with cleanliness being questionable in our suite. There were some stains on the carpet before we got there and the air condition is quite loud. The rooms were renovated and had a nice washroom and kitchen but is definitely dated. Unfortunately, we did not receive great service from one of the front desk staff members and this plus the facility cleanliness leads to 4 instead of 5 stars.

We booked The Buccaneer Inn expecting an oceanview, as clearly stated in the listing. Instead, our…read moreroom's view was of a fence. No glimpse of the ocean anywhere. To make things worse, the motel is located in an industrial area, which felt pretty run-down and far from the scenic coastal vibe we were hoping for. The conditions were so poor we had to book another place for our stay in Nanaimo. Definitely not worth the price -- false advertising and rude staff which would not allow us to refund our room. Would not recommend at all.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Buccaneer, both times while my boat was in work across…read morethe street at Newcastle boat yard. The facilities are excellent, clean comfortable and complete. I got the suite this time, with sitting room and kitchen, which I did not need but it was available. View is across the street to the Newcastle channel with boat traffic, and seaplanes splashing down. Very Canada. I will be back.

The room was huge with a window-type AC and a King size bed. I am glad there's no carpet in the whole suite and bathroom was spacious and very nice. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Parking fee is $9 per night. The location of this hotel is a winner. It's in the downtown and by the waterfront and close to ferry terminal. This hotel is highly recommended.
