We had two suites (one was a free upgrade - thanks!) and stayed for 6 days. The suites were bigger than expected and newly renovated I think, so in immaculate condition. A few niggles (eg no toaster or kettle, light switches in odd places, no bedside lights etc) did little to dampen this and I would be happy to stay here again. Gym, pool and games room were nice and clean. A quiet walk into town was maybe half an hour via a footpath, the "Galloping Goose Trail".

See above. The breakfast restaurant, Floyds, seemed to have prices on the board outside that were higher than what was stated on the website so we did not go there.

This is an old property that has been renovated quite well. The age of the property shows in some areas like the elevator and doors, air conditioner and bathroom fan, but the room was clean and fresh. Bathroom was very modern and nice and the bed was very comfortable. Some great family friendly options - games room, popcorn and pool. Floyd's Diner is handy for breakfast and the food at Heckler's pub is great and good value. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Nothing to really comment about negatively. This location worked really well for us as it is close to our son who lives in that area and we are happy to drive in Victoria. Not a lot of walkability maybe for all tourists.

I've stayed in a lot of mid-range Victoria rooms as I come to the city a few times a year for work. I had a room upgrade to a suite and appreciated all the space for organizing things off my motorcycle. There could have been more hangers but I made do (my preference would also be to have doors on closets but that's a quibble). Great little kitchen with two burner glass stove, good microwave and good fridge. Basics were stocked and on the low end side for pots and cutlery etc. but plate and glassware were good. Two queen beds and I slept better here than I have ever slept in Victoria! I'm a very light sleeper away from home and I got 8-9 hours each night here. I liked being out of downtown and it was only about 5 minutes away by motorcycle to our office near Blanshard and Pandora. Even at high commute times it was pretty easy getting around. I took the Rock Bay road going up to Bridge on the last afternoon and found the premium ice cream place, Parachute Ice Cream, with a line out the door. Nice to have that close by. I was on the fourth floor near the pool but I like hearing people having fun and they were mostly pretty quiet. No one was in it after 8:30 on the nights I was there. There's a games room near the elevator with big screen tvs for sports and it was used often. Heckler's Bar & Grill is at the other end downstairs, good takeout. Comedy some nights, trivia etc. There's also a cold beer and wine store above it - I like juice and soda and could get it without having to drive anywhere. There's also a Floyd's Diner attached to the building, very handy! Definitely a bonus. I found it very quiet despite being near Rock Bay and Gorge Road being worked on (maybe for the next few months ask for a room at the back). Lots of birds flitting around and the gorge is just down the road. Lovely staff who work hard inside and out. It is an older building with a snazzy paint job and vibe, so don't expect fancy or new.

Would have preferred doors on the closets. Separate A/C in the bedroom. Fresh batteries in the remotes for the Roku - took me a bit to figure that out. No dishtowels and the dishcloths could have been swapped in the kitchen daily. A coffee maker that is non-pod type, and not Van Houten's coffee. Takes a while for the elevator.

Rooms were clean and hotel well maintained. Staff at reception were very helpful especially Adil and Ajaria, answered all our questions about things to do and bus schedules. Although this hotel is not downtown it has a bus in front that will take you there and for $5.00 you can get a day pass and go anywhere which we took advantage of on our second day. Bed was comfortable and lots of pillows.

The AC was very loud and we could not get a fan to stay on. If you choose to open the window instead, like most places we encountered there are no screens. The breeze blowing in causes the blinds to bang against the window sill so we were torn between that or the loud AC turning on and off all night.

Unassuming on the outside but modern inside. Free parking!! Great for families with kids. They have a ping pong table, a giant Jenga and Foosball table while the grownups watch on the lifesize screen. Clean rooms. Modern bathrooms. No breakfast but the city’s best diner (Floyd’s) IMO is downstairs ready to welcome you every morning. Very friendly hotel staff!!

We were worried about how far this was to Victoria downtown but we felt very safe in the area. Since we were doing more non-city activities, this was the perfect location for us.

Since the last visit in 2023 this hotel has only gotten better. They are paying attention to details that make customers stay better. The popcorn and games room is a nice fun family or team touch. The bathroom is clean and the shower has a water head and hand held that makes it easy for everyone and the mirrors are perfect for make up application. Beds are super comfy, not soft and linens - wonderful. Staff have been cheerful and helpful from day one. No execeptions. They have just opened a Diner Restaurant that is fun and super convenient! Not too far from town - this is great value, with a retro inspired hotel. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

The suite bedroom lighting could use a dimmer.

This newly renovated hotel (formerly a Ramada) is a real bargain compared to the sky-high prices charged by most Victoria establishments. One can tell that the reno was done expeditiously and could use some follow up here and there, but the room was very roomy, had large comfortable beds (we got a suite, Room 405) for a very good price. Two Queens in the bedroom. A seperate sitting room and dining area with small, fully funtional kitchen (stove, fridge, micro, etc) Nice, modern, clean bathroom.

One can see some of the paint-overs of the previous Ramada decorations in elevator and halls but the rooms themselves are well done, clean and modern. Bit out of town but only a 10 minute drive to downtown.

The staff was super kind and actually deferential to the guests. The layout of the room is quite ‘efficient’ — sink outside bathroom, rack inside room instead of separate closet. Very cool amenities— room for watching movie with popcorn and foozball table and ping pong table. Nearby is a liquor store which isn’t ideal for families. Pets allowed and there are many! It was clean and very fairly priced for Victoria. I would seriously consider staying here again.

The attached restaurant had fairly high prices so we didn’t go there.

We were upgraded to a queen deluxe suite. It was very nice and well appointed. Small kitchenette with nice coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator. There was a very comfortable leather sofa and a TV setup. The bedroom had a very comfortable bed and there was also a TV. The TVs are smart and are connected to the internet so that you can login to your AmazonPrime or Netflix ect. Finally got around to watching Oppenheimer. I used to live in Victoria and I love this area, great walking trails and access to downtown and nightlife.

Honestly nothing.

Hotel is very well maintained. Family of 5 stayed in 2 rooms, 1 king and other with 2 queens. All beds were very comfortable with great pillows and bedding. Very nice bathrooms/showers. Fun game room on main floor w huge wall of 4 tv's, ping pong table and popcorn every evening. Breakfast is not included, but a great diner by the lobby. Excellent lighting in parking lot. We would highly recommend.

Nothing. All was well.
