Coast Bastion Hotel
I didn’t get complimentary breakfast. In future it should be included. Thanks. Even they charged for parking.

Courtyard By Marriott Nanaimo
New and very clean in downtown Nanaimo. The beds are extremely comfortable. The rooms are impeccable. Centrally located as well. Parking for hotel guests is just across the way, and is very reasonably priced. This will be my new go-to stay for Nanaimo.

Gabriola Large Private Suite & Hot Tub

Oceanfront Resort Corner Double Queen Beds Suite
A great stay with nice amenities and so lovely to be able to bring my dog and have a quiet and cozy place to rest in the evenings. The jetted tub was a very nice unexpected perk! Parking was ample and accessible too which was so great. I will definitely stay there again!
