My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were plain but very nice and exceptionally clean, although they lacked external views. It would have been nicer to have a fridge and microwave in the room. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were some disturbances from other guests during events. The location was convenient for my activities but had some issues with parking and interactions with locals. The dining experience was enjoyable, with good food and service, while the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is simply the bomb diggity! The rooms are nice and clean with a great view of the ocean, making the sunrise from the bed in the morning amaze ballz. The service is extremely helpful, and the location is great right in town near shops and restaurants. The dining options are good, with a central location convenient for the university, and the facilities are fantastic.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although spacious with a beautiful view, needed some maintenance like a carpet clean and window checks. The limited machines were all in good working order, which was a plus. The service staff were friendly and helpful, especially with local information, despite the check-in process lacking friendliness and informativeness. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of town near shops and restaurants, offering wonderful views from the balconies. The dining experience had some delays in service, but the food was enjoyable. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

I stayed at this hotel and had a mix of experiences. The room was beautifully appointed with an extremely comfortable king bed but the constant noise from the HVAC unit was really bothersome. The partial view of the waterfront was a nice touch though. The service was very friendly and welcoming, with good overall service provided by the staff. The location was central to many good restaurants and attractions, but the presence of transients openly using drug paraphernalia was concerning. The dining experience at Minnows was excellent and reasonably priced but the blaring music in the dining area was a bit much. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

The Coast Bastion Hotel offers a clean and spacious stay with outstanding views of Nanaimo Harbour. The location is perfect for exploring the waterfront and local attractions, although it's situated on a busy downtown intersection. The service is top-notch, with extremely helpful and friendly staff who go the extra mile. The dining options are limited but enjoyable, especially at the lobby restaurant. Overall, a great choice for a comfortable and convenient stay in Nanaimo.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, offering amazing views of the harbor and the city, but unfortunately, the presence of many transients openly using drug paraphernalia was a noticeable downside. The service was friendly and welcoming, although the hotel being under renovations took away from the initial impression. The dining was delicious, offering enjoyable meals, but the blaring music in the dining area was a bit too much. Overall, a stay with some highlights and some drawbacks.
