I booked a room at the Coast Bastion for 1 night prior to a ferry sailing the next day. I didn't do any research which is my fault. I had never been to Nanaimo before, so I had no clue that the downtown area is so tight for such a small city. Firstly they have very limited parking out front for check in. 4 cars tops. Many one way streets so I had to circle a long route several times to find a spot. Cars were there for over 30 minutes yet it's posted at 5 minutes max. Wish the hotel would police this. I arrived in an SUV with a kayak on top to find out that they only have underground parking with 6'6" height. No other parking options. They told me there was a high rate of theft so I shouldn't park elsewhere in an outside lot. So I have to take down my kayak and bike in a thunderstorm and carry them through the lobby to a small storage room meant for luggage. I have a short 11' kayak that barely fit. Anyway, super inconvenient to have to spend 45 minutes to check in and then another 30 minutes to put the kayak back before an early morning ferry. Suggest you find a hotel on the outskirts if you have an over height vehicle. I think the hotel could accommodate for this by partnering with a secure outside lot for such cases. I just checked their website and there is no mention of their parking limitations. They claim an amenity "Feel free to bring your bike – we’re happy to store it for you". The storage room was mostly full with my 1 kayak and 1 bike.

Everything was wonderful except for the fact that we had to lift the door to our room to use the deadbolt. We chose the hotel for it's proximity to the waterfront.
