⭐⭐⭐ Great Location, Pet-Friendly, and Quiet — But Still Overpriced and Dated We stayed at the Coast Bastion Hotel for a weekend in Nanaimo. The location is fantastic—right on the harbour, close to restaurants, shops, and beautiful walking paths. The staff were friendly and helpful, and check-in was easy. One thing we really appreciated is that the hotel is pet-friendly, which is rare in Nanaimo. It was so nice to be able to bring our dog along. Also, despite being downtown, our room was very quiet, and we slept well. The room was spacious, but it felt dated and not modern at all. It could really use some updates in terms of furniture and decor. The balcony was tiny and not inviting—more of a narrow ledge than a relaxing outdoor space.

Beautiful Harbour view, large sized room, quiet and clean. They have onsite parking for very cheap and is very dog friendly. The hotel doesn’t have its own food service (room service) but has an onsite restaurant. Although when we tried to have dinner there, they had very low staff and told us we wouldn’t be able to order food for 45 min so we didn’t dine there. Overall a great 1 overnight from Tofino to Victoria.
