So overall great experience but with a couple hiccups. Rooms are spacious and well maintained 1) room service just used the same sheets again 2) saw mice in the restaurant at night time. They said it was due to construction in the neighborhood

The view was nice of the harbor. It appears the algorithm of pricing for this property is overpriced. For $ 560 Canadian I expected the whole harbor ocean view. The room was a normal king with a side view but not at that price. Careful when booking.

I paid nearly $400 for the hotel but the hotel charged me $8.45 for parking?! With no parking spot reserved for the hotel? I spent nearly one hour waiting for a spot on the public parking. It is a shame. There was also nothing complimentary in the hotel like a pieceof fruit or a cookie. A "cheap" hotel with a luxury decor. Sorry.

How I love the spacious Harbourview suites at the Bastion. Let me count the ways. I have enjoyed stays at this wonderful hotel so many times. I always look forward to going back to the amazing Nanaimo waterfront. Special thanks on this trip to Anita, on the desk, and The Chef who gifted me the delicious fruit plate.
