COAST BASTION HOTEL REVIEWS

We had a fantastic night at the hotel. It was a special occasion and upgraded to a water view room with a soak tub. The room was spacious and modern. Included breakfast in the morning was fantastic. We ate at the hotel restaurant for dinner and this was also fantastic. We’ve had great experiences at both Coast hotels we’ve stayed at.

Great time here. I was in town with my young daughter and my wife on personal vacation. The staff were amazing and the hotel was very clean and tidy. They were knowledgeable in the local businesses and restaurants. Museum was right across the street and most things were walking distance away. Great small part nearby.

Beautiful room, loved the wall mural. Clean and bright with everything you need. Air conditioner is a bit load but nothing that prevents a great comfortable sleep. Friendly staff and convenient to the water and shops.

BEST WESTERN DORCHESTER HOTEL REVIEWS

Very pleased with my stay at this Best Western. The parking was easy to access and free, every staff member was friendly and helpful, rooms were clean and well stocked. The rooms are a bit smaller but perfect for what we needed. The restaurant was awesome as well as our server and bartender. The location was located close to everything we needed and right in the harbour. Will definitely be returning! Well worth the price.

Wonderful, room was looking towards the harbour. Great views, very easy to find the hotel as well. Constant messages from staff with updates/check ins, wonderful stay overall. Props to Aden, Aryan, Sawyer who made my stay feel comfortable and wonderful.

A great place to stay with clean rooms and friendly staff. Being across the street from Nanaimo Harbour and the walkway with several quaint shops makes for a pleasant visit. The restaurant requires better management, but overall, it's pretty fair.

INN ON LONG LAKE REVIEWS

We needed a room for one night and dropped in. Greeted by and attended to by Lenny at the desk, we were very happy that he bent over backward to give us a nice room af a reasonable price. We were blown away at the size of the room and that it had a beautiful view of the lake with a balcony to enjoy it. The room was very clean and the bed was so comfy I pulled to sheets up to see what make it was. The breakfast was much better than others we’ve had and it was open a decent amount of time. Will definitely stay again and refer our friends.

Our family arrived after a 2 and a half hour ferry ride. We were pleasantly surprised with the great service at the front desk and the lemon water. Our room was nice and clean but nothing special, the veiw through the sliding door was awesome. Only downside was the extremely soft beds. The hot tub was amazing, and the hotel is conveniently located beside a lake. Overall, a great aexperince.

I've only been here for two hours and I am massively impressed. This isn't a hotel as much as it is a mini-resort. The staff is fantastic, the room is very good to excellent, the views of the lake are wonderful, and the price I paid during the high season is more than fair. I will be coming back.
