Very clean, warm reception, felt safe, great value
Super clean. Really nice towels, bed pillows. A bit noisy and mattress was so-so, but the very friendly reception, location, value are unbeatable! Didn't expect to stay again so soon, but I now have a great little motel in Nanaimo I can rely on. Thank you, Buccaneer folks, for your good work!

Amazing value, wonderful reception, a bit noisy
Super clean, everything I needed. Nice quality room update. Noisy, but it seems that people don't care about other guests anymore. Some road noise. Extreme nice staff. Excellent value... thank you so much!

Very Good Motel
Stayed twice at Buccaneer Inn on road trip around Vancouver Island. Excellent self-catering facilities (microwave, full size stove top & oven, toaster, kettle, utensils, etc.) in clean and spacious 'apartment' with separate bedroom Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Ample parking and very convenient location for ferry terminal. Only real negative was slightly noisy at night from nearby roads. Would stay again.

I chose the property because it was in walking distance of the ferry and we only stayed one night, but the room was fitted with a kitchen and living room and had a nice view of the water (across the road). It looked like it would be a very good place to stay for a longer visit to the Nanaimo area. It was also very clean and had a good coffee maker.
