We enjoyed our stay at this property and the partial harbour view. However, the construction and noise of the area wasn’t ideal. Overall, it’s a great hotel and probably one of the better options around. Once the construction is done it will be a prime location

Stayed at the Coast Bastion for 4 nights. Found out upon check in that none of their rooms have clothes drawers anymore. You need to request a fold drawer to hang in the closet…was not the greatest but better than living out of the suitcase for 4 days…also asked for extra hangers.We had a nice corner room with partial Harbour view. Beds were very comfortable. Having a coffee maker and fridge in the room was helpful.
