Having extra toilet paper or kleenex would have been useful, and having appropriate sized sheets for the additional pull out bed (4th person), and another blanket, would have been better. Otherwise, the location and cleanliness was excellent. A BBQ for our salmon would have been ideal. Thank you for hosting our stay in Nanaimo.
