I had a stay in the hotel and the service was awful! The staffs are not very helpful. The manager did not respond kindly with complaints. Hotel service defines how good the hotel is and Dorchester Hotel in Nanaimo failed to showcase what good hotel service suppose to be. Stay away from that hotel! There are plenty good hotels and motels nearby.
For the price, quality, and excellent downtown location, the Dorchester is hard to top. The hotel stands on the most venerable spot in Nanaimo: the site of the Hudson's Bay Company trading post in the 1850s, and then of the city's old opera house.
