Pros: Rooms are nice, modern. Beds/bedding comfy. Big bathroom, tub. Front desk really helpful. I didn't hear noise from other guests, but it was mid-week, so that might be a factor. Turn down service.
Cons: Continental breakfast wasn't included.

Pros: Extremely attractive hotel with perfect location by the waterfront. Easy walking distance all over town. We enjoyed our room overlooking the harbor. Gracious, helpful staff. We were happy with the Courtyard Cafe, which provided good sandwiches, coffee, and dessert for low-key suppers. Island Time Tours, booking right there in the Grand Pacific, took us to Butchart Gardens and picked us up again at our requested time. What a very nice arrangement. When it was time to leave Victoria, we chose the Victoria Airport YYJ Shuttle as more economical than a taxi. The Shuttle arrived at the front door and delivered us to the airport comfortably and in good time. We were happy in every way with our four nights at the Grand Pacific and would gladly stay there again.

Pros: Our room was spacious, clean and had an excellent view of the harbor. The water taxi stand was right outside the hotel making trips around Victoria very easy and fun. A lovely walkway around the harbor was right outside the hotel as well.

The Westbay walkway along the harbour is great for a walk, jog, taking in the scenery. Our room was quiet, very clean and comfortable. The workout area is well set up, and the sauna was perfect for a mid-winter warm-up.

Pros: This hotel is remarkable. I am at the Four Seasons in Vancouver right now but the Delta beats it hands-down. The contemporary look is completely attractive and I've never had a hotel room so organized with a place for everything. Great food in the restaurant. The location is perfect on the water, and just a few minutes walk into the heart of Victoria. Also they have a free shuttle that get you to places you want to go.

Pros: We booked a Fairmont Gold room based on another recommendation and boy was it worth it. The private lounge is spectacular, the concierges were all extraordinary (and made a big difference helping us maximize our 2 nights in Victoria) and the food and drink (including a fully-stocked honor bar) were fabulous. We felt like royalty.
Excellent

Pros: This historic property welcomes you in the moment you step onto the property. The immediate attendance to your every need is immediately relaxing and makes you feel wanted. The location could not be better with the entire harbor visible form the front and every floor above as you exit your elevator. The entire city downtown is vibrant and easily walkable with something for every tase and experience.t
Cons: The room was a bit warm and may not have had air conditioning. We simply opened the windows and used a portable fan form the oversized closet area.

Pros: Location and views are fantastic. I love these old-style character hotels.
Cons: Not up to the standards of other Fairmont Hotels we've stayed in. They messed up our meal reservations and even messed up the correction, so we never did eat there. Some staff really didn't seem to know what they were doing or could even answer or questions properly and never offered to find anything our or get back to us.

Cons: Reserved a room with a king bed. We were traveling from Seattle via the clipper that couldn't sail due to the marine forecast. Once we realized our trip was going to take 7 hours via buss to reach the hotel, I called to notify that we would be arriving late and was assured my room would be ready and that we would have a king bed, not 2 doubles. We arrived at the hotel and no king beds were available. But then the representative said I could upgrade for $40 more per night and beaten down by the 7 hour trip I agreed to pay the fee. Then we get the bill and it was $60 + $4.85 PST + $1.21 MRDT + $3.03 GST. I understand that the taxes are what the are but should have been quoted them and the hotel should have honored the quote made on arrival. I was offered $10 per night discount by the manager but still feel mislead. As a Marriott rewards customer for years and one who has stayed at Marriott properties all over the world, I will not be returning to this property. The maid service was also poor. The room was not vacuumed nor were the sheets ever changed on our 3 night stay. Additionally when we arrived there was left over spoiled food in the fridge. Lastly they did not replace plates and silverware in the kitchenette and when we came back to the room with takeout, we had to eat out of plastic containers. I do not recommend this property. If you are accustom to Marriott service and hospitality, you will not find it here.

Pros: Great location overlooking the entrance to Victoria inner harbor. Very nice and helpful staff. Nicely designed rooms.
Cons: Worst: nearly all the pillows smelled of old sweat. We finally requested and received new, unused pillows. Avoiding dry cleaning pillows is not a good cost-cutting measure! Also, waited one hour for breakfast, after two complaints, received it with the explanation that here were "problems in the kitchen." To their credit, the restaurant wait staff seemed embarrassed and comped the breakfast. Another morning we decided to skip the menu and do the $17 buffet, which was MUCH worse that the free buffets you get at budget hotels.

Pros: I liked that the hotel was close to the water and Fisherman's Wharf. It was clean and the staff was friendly.
Cons: It was far from the main downtown core. They do provide a free downtown shuttle on a first come basis until 2300. I believe this hotel would do much better if they had a FREE airport shuttle AND a free continental breakfast. I know I will look for both in a hotel if I return to the area.
Excellent

Pros: The hotel is a bit out of the downtown area, but still pretty accessible. The location is beautiful looking over the inner bay. An upper floor is suggested. The room was clean and very comfortable.
Cons: The front desk staff was not rude, but just felt a little dismissive. The concierge is absolutely the wrong guy for the job. Again, not rude, but never smiled in our two interactions with him. He had trouble finding a city map for us. When we asked if the free shuttle could take us to a location, he just said no, but failed to help us try to find out how to get there. Just not the right guy for a job like that.

Pros: Suites are expansive and surprisingly well fitted out with a full kitchen and two bathrooms. The area is quiet and beautiful, and a brief drive from downtown Langford and Victoria.
Cons: It's clear after a few hours at the property that you're a guest of the neighbourhood, not the hotel. The fitness suite and pool is shared with the rest of the local community, and isn't hotel-specific. Unless you're a golfer, you'll probably never use most of the features in the resort fee. Staff in the on-site restaurants are overstretched, tired and error-prone as a result — a Friday night had two waitresses and one bartender, and all service ground to a halt because of an empty keg. For the size and scale of the hotel, it's woefully understaffed.

Pros: A comfortable suite is much better value for the money than a single room. Very clean and well decorated with neutral colours, granite counter... way better than a stark white wall. Bed was comfortable. Location is great, centrally located but not a crazy busy/noisy street. Great walking around James Bay and Fisherman's Wharf. I really, REALLY like that they take dogs too. The suite was super clean, no sign of dogs from other people which I liked (even though I have a dog)!

Pros: On the edge of the James Bay neighborhood, the Oswego is in walking distance to the Parliament, downtown, Chinatown and all the ferry and seaplane services in the inner harbor. Our family of four were very comfortable in the 1BR premium suite. The bistro is great for a cocktail with locals or a morning coffee. The concierge will hold your bags while you walk and shop if you’ve got a late clipper departure. We’ll be back!

Pros: Fun motel with family focus. Was quite for our stay in the back window facing dealership side. I could see the front being really loud with construction going on at the Mall. Room was clean and serviced well. Pool, Jacuzzi and Bikes are fun elements for the kids.
Cons: The reason I was okay being away from waterfront was because of the shuttle but the shuttle is not really useful for out of town tourist. VW bus are cool but can accommodate only six people at a time. Their timings are 9 AM to 8 PM. Eight is too early I felt for a tourist to head back to hotel IMO Returning from downtown you have to call the hotel to schedule a pickup which could be a problem if your phone doesn't work in Canada. Anyhow BC Transit compensated for it well with 5$ all day pass.You can use the same ticket for Butchart garden no need to pay for expensive tour operators.

Cons: For someone not used to city traffic noise, the busy road alongside could be fairly distracting.

9.1
Pros: Very helpful and friendly staff with a unique and funky vibe. Clean and comfy room at a good price. Easily accessible by bus from ferry terminal, UVic, downtown. I'd definitely stay here again.
Cons: Fairly noisy due to location on busy street. There was also a lot of noise from nearby doors closing and upstairs guests walking around. But that was the only downside.

Pros: the location is great. room are quiet for resting.
Cons: I booked a ocean view room and end up a roof top view with very angle ocean view. The bell man help us get to the room, he also said it doesn't look like a ocean view room at all. Beside, the room very dated and furniture, carpet are all smell. So, I decide to upgrade to a newer building and paid extra $50 just for one night. Very disappointed the front desk lady keep emphasized that is a ocean view room!!

Pros: STAFF was VERY helpful and worked hard to make sure we were happy and comfortable. Breakfast was great!
Cons: Stairs were a problem for me. We were directed to the back of building to get access. That was A. LOT OF walking with my cane and sore leg and knee. Then to leave we went thru the dining room, since I didn’t want to walk around the block. More stairs, so not easily accessable. The room did have shower and wall handles, which was great.

Pros: Staff were very friendly. Rooms were large and clean. I had booked a room with two double beds and a kitchen and when we arrived we were given a king bed with a kitchen. The staff were very accommodating and changed our room quickly to a room with two double beds but no kitchen which was alright as we didn't need the kitchen. The kitchen staff were also very friendly and very accommodating.
Cons: It would have been nice if the hotel would offer a continental breakfast instead of having to pay for it. I also feel that since we had booked and paid for a double bed suite with kitchen and ended up with a standard room they should have refunded the difference but since we had prepaid they said they couldn't. I feel it was their mistake and not ours. We did like the room and were very comfortable.

Pros: Hotel was very nice for this price range. We had a std room with king bed that had luxury bedding and very fluffy pillows. Our friends' kids reported that the pool was very cold in the morning, as if they turn off the heat overnight and it was only stating to warm up. Staff were very nice. Dog friendly rooms, but very clean.
Cons: The location is not close to many shops and restaurants, the only food or coffee around seemed to be 3 different Tim Hortons, a few blocks away. We drove yrou downtown which was a 10 minute drive.

Pros: Nice to have an indoor pool and sauna if a bit outdated and dark. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is a bar/grill on the first floor but never tried it. Menu didn't look that appealing. Internet worked well.
Cons: Room needed an update desperately. Was not too clean either. The double bed became a taco with 2 people in it and was not comfortable at all. The air conditioner was so loud it was super obnoxious, and the heater had a bunch of gunk in it. Really small TV too. Got a deal for $58 a night down from $137 but it wasn't even worth the $58. We stayed at the Econolodge up the road for 3 days prior for less money and the room was much nicer, larger, larger tv, cleaner, and included a continental breakfast. Skip this place and stay at the Econolodge.
