Top Chemainus Hotel Reviews

Coast Bastion Hotel

Coast Bastion Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I had the most wonderful time at this hotel. Everything was 10/10! They even brought me some Nanimo bars for myself and my husband as we stayed there during my birthday and our wedding anniversary week. (Driving all around Vancouver island) It was so thoughtful of the staff and they went above and beyond. It really excited me to be eating a Nanimo bar in Nanimo and it’s a memory I will NEVER forget! 😊 Thank you all so very much!!"
