The only real amenity was the weight room with the attached sauna room we used. There are three conference rooms available including a reading nook with free water, and the staff were kind enough to put out a lemonade dispenser as well. (Very good!) We stayed for a week there and my family sang praises of it the whole time. The underground parking can be tricky later in the evening to find available stalls. Especially if there is an ongoing open market fare. I can't sing enough praises about the staff; very helpful, professional and friendly.

Central walkable location to cafes, shops and parks, including north and south island by car. We stayed here 8 days as our home base to explore Vancouver island. We spent a week on the mainland sitting in traffic and avoiding hordes of homeless drug addicted zombies. Nanaimo and the island as a whole was much better. This hotel was very accommodating, offering a special mat for my bad back and the first floor restaurant was as good as anything in town, which is rare for a hotel.

The Coast Bastion was a pleasant surprise. We stayed one night on our way to Tofino. The service was top notch, the rooms were clean, well appointed, quiet and comfortable. The gym looked great but we didn’t end up using it. We ate breakfast at Minnoz and the food was surprisingly delicious and very high quality. The shops in the area were very cute and the view of the water was a bonus. It’s so convenient from the ferry. Would definitely stay there again.

可以在最后轻轻带一句，不影响整体好评的感觉： Absolutely loved this hotel! The room was huge, bright, spotless, and beautifully maintained. We were lucky enough to get a corner room with windows on three sides, which gave us an incredible view of the ocean. The room felt so spacious and bright, and waking up to that view was just amazing. Honestly, such a wonderful stay — we were so impressed and would definitely stay here again! The only minor downside was the parking area, which was a little confusing and took us some time to figure out how to get back to the hotel from the parking lot😂. Other than that, everything was fantastic!
