Guest Reviews of the Victoria Travelodge Hotel
July 28, 2011
My parents, former snowbirds unable to travel to the
states any longer decided to try out Victoria and we
booked them a suite at the Travelodge Victoria. I stayed
with them for 3 of their 10 weeks. The accommodation and
cost were amazing in value. Super clean and comfortable;
large suite and well furnished with all the amenities
one would expect in a home! Can't say enough about the
staff, from front desk to cleaners to handyman. This
great team was led by General Manager Darryl Wilson, who
was absolutely fantastic. All of the staff were
incredibly accommodating and helpful, treating my
parents like they were in a 5 star vacation resort. Any
needs were responded to quickly and efficiently. Far
above and beyond what I have seen at any rated 5 star
hotel we've ever stayed at. The location is great for
travellers without vehicles as the city bus stops
literally right in front of the hotel and from there
travels city wide. The view of the Gorge, which is right
beside the hotel is serene and pretty and it takes less
then 30 minutes to walk along the trail from the hotel
to the downtown core. Very comforting to know that my
parents were in a safe and comfortable spot where they
were so well cared for. They enjoyed themselves so much
that they have already booked to return this winter and
plan to stay the entire season. Thanks again to Darryl
and staff for making this a truly wonderful stay for a
couple of older folks escaping the harsh Ontario
winters!

We stayed in July at this location and were very
pleased. A quiet location, rooms very nice and we were
able to check into our room early am by taking a room
w/2 queens instead of 1 king-but w/a kitchenette also at
no extra cost. Very clean, good solid beds, big screen
T.V. Breakfast was good but took a long time. Breakfast
was run independent of hotel & it w/busy. Staff was very
professional and helpful. If we ever come back this is
where we will stay.

This hotel was an okay value -- pretty average.
Unfortunately for the cost we paid, over $100, no
breakfast was included. We arrived on a late ferry and
that was not a problem. The bed was comfortable and
everything else is as you would expect of a motel. The
hotel is located a couple of kilometers from downtown
Vancouver and there are several shuttles offered per day
to take you downtown so you don't have to drive. The
hotel is attached to a noisy nightclub which I thought
would be loud, but the noise ended at a reasonable hour
and the room was well insulated.

A bit better than standard Travelodge, fine pool, very
good value, nice large room at Ok prove, and really
excellent location, very close to downtown Victoria

This place is very nice but it's not particularly close
to anything. We were visiting a friend about a half a
block away so it worked well for us but if you need any
services the hotel doesn't provide (it does have laundry
and vending machines) it's well beyond walking distance
but if you have a car it's a reasonably short drive to
the heart of the city.
The pool is very nice, it seems to be the envy of the
area judging from some comments we overheard from some
local children. The rooms were great except for the
antiquated TV, the rest of the decor however was much
nicer than you might expect from a Travelodge (if not
for the TV it could be mistaken for a Hilton or a Hyatt
from the inside). Wired internet access worked fine for
me and having a fridge in the room at no extra charge is
always a nice treat especially on a road trip. My then
3-year-old son thought the place was amazing and talks
about it to this day - it was only his second hotel stay
(both being Travelodges) but this is the one he
remembers fondly, particularly he felt the bed was
great. If you have reason to be in the area it's a great
place to stay.
I filled out an online survey many days after and
management was very responsive to my suggestions which I
felt was a very professional touch. All they need to get
this place to Excellent would be another vending machine
with more diverse options such as Tums and to upgrade
their TVs. |
