“A Wonderful Surprise On The Naniamo Waterfront”

I am in Nanaimo very often, and as a Marriott guy, straying from the Marriott brand is not something I normally do. When the Marriott Courtyard was sold out, I booked a room at the Coast Bastion. What I found was an old hotel building, but with wonderfully-renovated rooms and a friendly staff. It's now become my go-to hotel in Nanaimo, as it's even better than the Courtyard. The rooms are light and airy with fantastic views of the city and harbor front. The maintenance and housekeeping are always superlative. This hotel has started to feel like home, thanks to the comfy beds and kind employees. I love room 1011 and the staff have always been able to hold this room for me. They are also happy to let me check in early if the room is available. There is a small fitness center and an on-site restaurant. The restaurant is cozy, with okay food. The hotel is right in the center of town, though, so there are endless options of places to eat. Parking is in a covered lot with spaces reserved for the Coast, which makes it easy. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough for its small town feel, cozy environment and great rooms.

“Great service, lovely room.”

Great hotel. Lots of upgrades. New Sauna and Gym. Reasonable prices for good quality food in the restaurant. Very friendly staff happy to give suggestions and directions. Last but not least.

I was picking up a boat and needed bed pillows. I asked if the hotel had any old pillows they were going to get rid of. Next thing you know a knock at the door an 2 nice pillows in cases for me to take. Who does that? These folks do.

“Great location and view!”

The location of this hotel is great, as it is very near downtown and has a great view of the ocean. The room was clean and comfortable. A little dated, but still current.

Parking was a bit of a hassle as you have to take an elevator up from the garage, carry through to the lobby, then up another elevator. But, all in all, it is a nice place and was great for our one-night stay. The A/C unit was a little loud in our room. I appreciate they text you directly and I was able to send a text about needing additional towels, which were delivered within a few minutes.

“We would return”

Mislead about ev parking being included as a amenity. We paid $9 per day for parking, however ev was not included in that extra expense. Balcony was tiny, almost pointless to have it, lol. Pillows very soft. Fridge tiny. Placement of shampoo/hand soap/body wash (all same product, lol) and conditio… lisää

Mislead about ev parking being included as a amenity. We paid $9 per day for parking, however ev was not included in that extra expense. Balcony was tiny, almost pointless to have it, lol. Pillows very soft. Fridge tiny. Placement of shampoo/hand soap/body wash (all same product, lol) and conditioner im the shower is unsafe for someone with a disability. Needs to be moved to be safer for use. Parking is quite the walk from the lobby. Not good for disabled people. The ev charging stations are even further, sadly. Housekeeping staff are wonderful. Most front desk staff were friendly, not all. Encountered many racist people during our stay, sadly.
