We received a card this morning that I had to blog about- it was a Thank You Card from three of the sweetest sisters in Texas! Lou-Ray, Billye and Martha visited us in November and had these kind words to say about our staff and their stay-
"Sorry to be so long saying Thank You for our wonderful memories of a delightful trip and how you are a special memory because you were so nice and fun to be with. And you can believe it because I've never written to any hotel before this trip- But you were special- so save us a room in case we get back some year. We are those three grey-headed sisters, all over 85 years old from Texas. Thank you again for just being so fun to deal with!"
Thank you ladies, we enjoyed having you as much as you enjoyed being here! We look forward to your next visit, hopefully soon.

Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics are fast approaching. Whether traveling locally or internationally to Vancouver venues, Travelodge Nanaimo is your accommodation destination for the Games. Think about it, what would you rather do:
-drive 4-5 hours in bumper to bumper traffic, be in a rush to get to your Olympic Venue bus and struggle to find parking ?
OR
-drive 5 minutes to BC Ferries Horseshoe Bay, where you spend a short 1.5 hour drinking your morning coffee, taking in the worlds most beautiful coastal & mountain views, and board a bus on the ferry which takes you direct to the Olympic transit station ?
Seems like a no-brainer, doesn't it? Call 1-800-667-0598 to book your Home-Away-from-Home during the once-in-a-lifetime Vancouver Olympics!
