Our room was perfectly clean, bathroom fixtures updated and beds reasonably comfortable. Minor traffic noise was audible from the adjacent highway, but it did not really bother us. The grounds of the inn were lovely and there is a great view of the lake, probably from all of the rooms. The staff were quite friendly. I thought the breakfast was... More

I am glad that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with others. You are absolutely right, all the rooms (even the meeting rooms) have a view of the lake! It is really a unique location, being right on the shore of such a wonderful and scenic lake. Although it is bigger than... More

I had a last minute change of plans and fortunately for me I managed to find a room at The Inn on Long Lake. Check-in was a breeze thanks to the pleasant young lady at the front desk. The room was very roomy as was the bathroom. It had all the amenities one could expect. I am not certain about... More

The room wasn't especially exciting, but wifi, flat screen, kitchenette and amazing view of lake a bonus. The hot tub and weight-room was a special luxury and just a short stroll from our room. Room service was more than helpful and continental breakfast, unforgettable. My daughter and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. What a treat not to... More

I think we have a truly unique location, being close to everything-shopping, restaurants, movies, and transportation, yet being very peaceful and tranquil on our lakeshore. We will soon be putting our pedal boats and... More

Since we have 2 dogs we always stay at the Inn on Long Lake when we visit Nanaimo. Not only is the Inn pet friendly, they are pretty people friendly too.

This is just a great independently run hotel. The front desk staff is very nice and for this price who expects to see a sight as beautiful as Long Lake.

Thanks for taking the time to write this great review! I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Our meeting rooms stay quite busy throughout the year, as many businesses find that are perfect for groups of up to 45 people. We certainly try hard to ensure that meetings run smoothly, and are as hassle free as possible. We... More

This is a good clean hotel, with good customer service. It is located a little north of the city centre but it is not too far away from anything. Shopping and restaurants are all nearby. The hotel is situated on a lake and the views, especially in the morning, are quite nice. All rooms face the lake. Not a place... More
