We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Ken’s place. The suite was well appointed and clean. The bed was comfortable and we appreciated having in suite access to a washer and dryer. No issues with check-in/out. There is a small market within walking distance that has a really nice deli section. The location is near the Nanaimo skytrain station, which made getting to downtown a breeze. There are no restaurants within walking distance, but Commercial Drive/Street is only one skytrain stop away with plenty of restaurants nearby. The John Hendry Park (Trout Lake) is close to Ken’s and it is worth a visit.
