Didn’t love it so didn’t stay as I felt uneasy and unsafe! Travelling by myself I didn’t have a good feeling about things. People shooting up in parking lot strong door of marijauna drifting in my room in the hour I stayed

Seems like they remodeled the place. Rooms looked fairly new. Quiet place. Bail bond place across the street along with a gas station. For the price i think it was pretty decent.

5 Stars
Ignore any and all bad reviews, the Bluebird motel was so clean, the bedding was clean, and the reviews complaining about noise I don’t understand as the white noise being generated by the AC was enough to be able to relax and sleep in peace. You get the bang for your buck. Check in process was great too, the woman was very kind as well. Very close to things to do in Nanaimo, great location. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Absolutely clean but otherwise old and worn. For $150 I expect more.
Cornelia, 1-night family trip
Verified Expedia guest review

6/10 Good

The staff seemed very helpfully and were extremely nice and inviting. The downside to a family that is non smoking was there was constant smoke smell. Luckily our one bedroom had no smoke smell, but the kitchen/living area my kids stayed in was pretty yucky. The upkeep of the place is wonderful, just smoky

Kitchenette available including stove, fridge, microwave, sink, and all utensils you would need. They dont like late check-ins. Somethings were in need of repair, like door knobs. Cheaper priced for the area.

6/10 Good

Clean sheets and appliances, unfortunately the smell of Pine Sol in the room was toxic. I had to open the windows to get fresh air. AC in the room too loud, and temp control was broken. The motel is minutes from the ferry terminal, the only reason we chose to book a room there.
