Dirty room, air conditioning didn't work in either room; squeaky bed; coffee machine didn't work correctly; bar right next door to room, loud AND charged US dollars even though it is in Canada! Nothing good about this hotel. Do not stay there

This was probably the best hotel I've ever stayed at for the price/star-rating. It was eclectic. The staff was FANTASTIC. The rooms were fun (who can say that about a hotel). Each room had a different display and it was like stepping back in time
Conveniently located close to two large malls (including a Walmart), bus station close by with many scheduled stops directly to downtown and several restaurants nearby. The hotel restaurant is also very good.
Fun hotel with a funky 70s vibe. We loved "Granny's basement". It's nice that they had a pool table and a fun place to hang out. In the lobby I listened to some old vinyl on a turntable, and they had a lot of games, so we hung out and played games.

Top Tips
- Reserve 3-6 months in advance for summer visits to avoid 25-40% rate increases from May to September. Waterfront view rooms fill quickest, so early reservations secure both limited views and better rates.
- Expect 13-15% in taxes and fees per night: 5% GST and 8% PST apply, and some downtown hotels charge a 2% municipal fee, adding $15 to $50 CAD (approx. $11 to $37 USD) nightly. Review final pricing to avoid surprises at checkout.
- Stay in downtown Victoria for enhanced safety, with crime rates 20-30% lower than outer suburbs like Saanich. Most attractions and waterfront paths are within a 5-10 minute walk.
- Confirm Wi-Fi speed before arrival if planning to work remotely; most hotels offer 50-100 Mbps. Be aware speeds may drop by 20-30% during the busy summer season.
- Request accessible features proactively. About 70-80% of hotels offer step-free access and elevators, but heritage buildings may require you to specify needs like widened doorways in advance.
- Opt for Green Key-certified hotels to support sustainable tourism. Currently, 40-50% of Victoria’s eco-focused hotels hold this certification and implement water- and energy-saving measures.
- Plan to spend $15 to $40 CAD (approx. $11 to $30 USD) per night for hotel parking in downtown Victoria. Free street parking is limited to short time windows - using hotel lots is more reliable.
- Coordinate arrival times with Swartz Bay ferry schedules. Ferry trips from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay take roughly 1.5 hours, followed by a 30-40 minute drive to downtown hotels.
- For the fastest city transfer, choose Victoria International Airport (YYJ) - a 24 km trip takes about 25-30 minutes by taxi or shuttle to downtown, which is shorter than the ferry route.
- Victoria's tap water meets Canadian health standards. Bring a reusable bottle to reduce plastic waste and avoid minibar charges for bottled water.
- Pack a lightweight waterproof layer for visits from October to April, when the city receives most of its 650 mm annual rainfall. July and August are much drier.
- Request accessible rooms 7-14 days in advance for heritage hotels, as many central properties have limited accessible units due to building age.
- Follow Canadian tipping standards: 15-20% for restaurant and hotel service staff. Most hotels accept chip or tap cards in CAD - decline Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) if prompted.
- Choose hotels within 1.5 km (up to a 20-minute walk) of the Inner Harbour for quick access to the BC Legislature, ferry terminals, and major attractions.
