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.

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!

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...

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.
