Review of the Super 8 Victoria
July 18, 2010
A little out of the way
We chose this hotel because of the cheap nightly rate. It is a little ways from
downtown, but there is a bus stop across from the hotel and if you leave the
hotel in the morning not expecting to return until later, it’s not a big
problem. If you want to go back to the hotel during the day, it could get
annoying. If you take the bus and you need to change buses to get to your
destination, make sure you get a transfer ticket when you pay so you do not have
to pay for the next bus within 60 minutes. Another note is when the bus (the 22
at least) gets to the bus stop by McDonalds, that is your exit point for
downtown area. It’s a short walk further down to get to everything. There is a
liquor store beside the hotel, but we honestly never would have known it was
there if we had not seen it. The bar area in the hotel has been closed for the
past year so no worries about that. The carpet is a little worn in the rooms,
but that did not bother us too much. Breakfast is your typical complimentary
breakfast with cereal, oatmeal packets, bagels, and a small selection of
pastries, but it’s better than having to go out for breakfast somewhere.

Satisfied with the stay.
The break fast was good. Kitchenette did not have the stove, so it did not meet
our needs. We could not get the two rooms together. One of the room faced the
busy street. Hence, it was a bit noisy. Overall, the experience was good. Staff
was helpful.

Nice Super 8, noisy room
The room was clean and tidy (with multiple electrical outlets which is can be
very rare in rooms. The downside was that the room faced west (on the 2nd floor)
where Douglas Street and Burnside Drive intersect so there was steady din of
car, truck and bus noises. The air conditioner/heater was a window unit that was
really loud. So combined it was a very very noisy room. We did not complain
however because we were so late (and tired) plus we did not come to Victoria for
the lodging. In a nutshell we survived a noisy hotel room. The continental
breakfast was not worth the extra cost. There is a restaurant across the street
and a McDonalds further down too. Anyone else staying here, as for a higher
floor on the north or east side.

This is obviously not a luxury hotel. The amenities are few. It is not very
handicapped friendly. (no elevator) They did get me a room on the first floor
when they realized I could not climb the stairs. We went to Victoria to see the
Butchart Gardens and other attractions. We did not expect to spend mush time the
hotel. It was certainly adequate for our needs. The room was clean and
comfortable. We had a TV, fridge and microwave. Their Continental Breakfast was
just muffins and cookies, so that fell a little short of our expectations, but
all-in-all we were very satisfied.

Average hotel for short stay, average food and hospitality
The place is clean and prices are excellent. There is a lot of competition in
the area. This place stands out mainly for the cleanliness. Also, we feel
secure. Guests and visitors must pass through the front desk and lobby area and
be scrutinized by the clerk.
