At this modern high-rise hotel at the heart of downtown, every room boasts a waterfront view, and the Harbourside Walkway scene is just seconds away. It's worth the splurge for a superior room, with upgraded amenities and views from two sides. Two wheelchair-accessible rooms are available. The hotel connects to the Port Theatre complex.

Hotel is nothing special, restaurant is great.
December 05, 2014

The neighbourhood is a bit seedy thanks to the nearby casino, and we were charged $9 for overnight parking. Parking for $9 may not be out of line for Vancouver, but it is out of line for Nanaimo. When we made our booking this hotel was the most expensive in Nanaimo, but it turned out to be nothing special, and we would have been better off booking with one of the chain hotels a little further... more

Noisy rooms
November 11, 2014

The hotel is dated, they charge $8.00 a day for parking and it's noisy. Mainly street noise and the electric fan heaters kick in over and over. It's expensive, in a great location, but we wouldn't stay here again

The room was good and the beds comfortable but the pillows were too soft. No neck support. There was no guide to explain the use of the TV remote and it was a strange setup. You had to zero in on a program from a guide and could not simply move up or down the channels. We went for breakfast in the hotel restaurant and although the food was okay the service was incredibly slow.

I have stayed at the Coast many times in 2013 and have nothing but good things go say about the staff,accommodations and the cuisine in the hotel restaurant. The location is great because it is located in the harbor which has a great sea wall for walkers,joggers and bicycling. Rooms facing the harbor will experience beautiful sunrise and sunsets. I will always use the Coast when I am in Nanaimo.
