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.
Zain, 1-night trip

Good motel for price. Clean and no carpet in room which is awesome for my allergies and asthma.
Heidi, 1-night trip
