Thank you very much Catharine. Glad you enjoyed the rooms, amenities. D our service. Ten am check outs are a carry on from Covid days.

Thanks for the fulsome review Sandra. Cute, cosy and comfy are words we love to read in reviews. Glad you had a great sleep and enjoyed interacting with our team. For future guests we do have 2 Queen Suites that are in the corner of our building and afford much more privacy. If you would like to stay in one of these suites please request this and we will try our best accommodate you. The window and door security we have meet the requirements of AAA and are inspected by them annually. As for the safeness of our neighbourhood, we can attest that there is little to be concerned about. Granted Nanaimo is a community of over 100,000 people so there are urban issues throughout our city, however our little corner of town sees little of the challenges pervasive throughout British Columbia. We are so glad you had such a great experience at The Buccaneer and hope to welcome you back Sandra. Your hosts,Dave and Marlene

Thank you once again Cynthia for your honest, kind and glowing reviews.We do, as you noted, take great pride in the services and amenities we offer. We try to provide the type of accommodation that we want when we are travelling. Our rooms are not modern, nor does that seem to be a hindrance to many. What they are, are spotlessly clean, well stocked and maintained. And our super, friendly and helpful team help make your stays with us even better.We look forward to living up to your accolades and to continue to welcome you back again and again Cynthia. Kindest regards.Your hosts,Dave, Marlene, Monique, Leanne, Kelly and Ally
