My husband and I had an excellent overnight stay recently with our small dog. Our 9th floor room was spacious, sunny, and clean, and we loved the sweeping views of the harbor. We took a sunset walk in the waterfront park, had a nice dinner at the hotel restaurant, watched a beautiful sunrise from our balcony in the morning, and found great coffee, people watching, and shopping nearby. The staff accommodated every wish, and couldn’t have been nicer about it. We would definitely choose the Coast Bastion again for its location, comfort, friendliness, and value.

We had a very clean, well appointed room with a great view of the harbour. The front desk staff was welcoming and helpful and all cleaning staff greeted us warmly. We had an excellent early morning breakfast — much appreciated for catching an early float plane flight ( right out the door) and great wait staff.

The property was nice. The bathroom could use an update. The bath mat was really stinky like mold and the shower curtain needed to be replaced. The sea plane activity is fun to watch but can be noisy. The large TV was nice. The bed was comfy. We were a bit bummed that we paid more for the room than people checking in without a reservation.
