Review of the Days Inn on the Harbour Victoria
5 September 2011
My wife and I spent 2 wonderful weeks, beginning July 20, 2011, at the Days Inn
Victoria, BC, for the 4th year in a row. The views from our room were ever
changing and fascinating. The Inn staff, from Manager, to Front Desk, to
Housekeeper, were friendly and efficient. The Inn is in a great location, within
an easy walk of the sights of the charming Inner Harbour and the shops and
restaurants of downtown, although the Inn itself has a great restaurant. A bit
further but still a very doable walk is beautiful Beacon Hill park, with a hill
overlooking the Juan de Fuca Strait and the majestic Olympic Mtns. of Washington
State. The Days Inn in Victoria is still very much a value for money.

The location was great, but the rooms were less than stellar: a bit dusty. The
promised fridge was non existent. No air-conditioning and the fan provided was
dusty and dirty. We booked two rooms but they were not next to each other.
The on-site restaurant was a disappointment. The pot pie was tasteless and we
had to return the children's menu hamburger because the pattie was burned.
The swimming pool was nice.
The parking spaces were exceedingly small.

I think I've been robbed! Oh wait, never mind - I just stayed at the Days Inn
Victoria on the Harbour and it just feels that way!
Stayed at this hotel for two nights with a friend. We were in a room with one
queen bed on the second floor of the hotel. First of all, the room was TINY. By
far, the smallest room I have ever stayed in, this includes all of Europe, my
rooms were even bigger in Paris!
Second of all, there is no a/c. Unbelievable. Sure it is not usually too warm in
BC, but it has been warmer lately. Surely the hotel can retrofit the rooms. It
was so hot in the rooms. Our room was on the end of the hotel, right above the
staff entrance to the kitchen. All day and night, all we heard were kitchen
staff complaining about their jobs, smoking, swearing and we even overheard a
staff meeting. We had to have the window open because it was so warm.
The room was run down, with mountains of bird poo on the window ledge, dead bugs
on the sill. It was my worst nightmare. I had a very difficult time sleeping
with the temperature, the noise, cigarette smoke wafting in and the fact I felt
like I was in a broom closet.
For the price, it was terrible. I urge you to stay somewhere else, I actually
couldn't wait for our trip to end because I hated the room so much. Our room was
never cleaned and we had to call down to the front desk and then he came up and
did it. He was nice but the room should have been cleaned earlier.
This hotel has no personality, does not have clean or quality accommodation and
the only good thing about it is the location.

The great thing about this hotel is its location which is directly on the
harbour and is only a short walk from the main attractions in Victoria. It has
its own restaurant and bar with a terrace overlooking the harbour. The food was
good and reasonably priced and the staff where very friendly. Parking is free of
charge which is very positive..
The rooms however are very basic and need refurbishing. The furniture is old but
everything was kept clean. We did have a problem with the bathroom ventilation
but the staff were very helpful and moved us to a larger room where everything
was working properly at no extra cost. The price of this accommodation is
certainly not expensive, especially considering its location, so would
definitely return.

We had a wonderful experience staying at the hotel. Our room was spacious ,clean
with a very comfortable bed. The view overlooking the harbour was perfect.
Staff was very friendly and helpful!
Nice being close to the city center.
plan on driving to Florida in March and because of our positive experience will
be using Days Inn on our overnight stays.
Nice to know you are a pet friendly hotel. |
