Very clean and tidy but just little noisy when neighbors walked around the balcony. There’s a Korean cuisine next door should provide a free dining to travellers

When we arrived there was visibly long term guests who look like they live there, one side of the property is dirty and unkept, gives a bad impression right off the bat. they don’t provide web photos so when u come into your room is a surprise to see the layout and outdated decor.

The pillows felt like they were full of air and were not comfortable at all. Air conditioning was welcome but rather noisy (can't have everything I guess!) Otherwise it was all good.

Front desk wasn’t friendly. Told restaurant was closed the day I checked in but it’s permanently closed. Told that there were no food delivery services in town -not true. Paid extra for dog, then told that dog wasn’t allowed in central garden. No ice. Room stark. Located on busiest street in sketchy neighbourhood. Cable didn’t work. Limited time on internet. Couldn’t check out fast enough! Never again!

Urban spot but clean and inexpensive.
We were in Nanaimo for a ball tournament. We're gone from 8 till 8 so the room is just for crashing until the next day of games. We were looking for clean and inexpensive (since we're not spending any time other than bedtime) and the Port O Call has been our choice for a few years now. The rooms are small but the beds are comfortable. Friendly front desk staff do their best to get you checked in quickly. It is in a busy urban area so bring ear plugs, not the Inn's fault people drive by loudly. :-) We happened to visit during a heat wave so the AC struggled a little but we slept well enough.
