Guest Review of the Marriott Hotel Victoria Inner Harbor
May 2, 2009
We recently had a two night stay at the Marriott, Victoria, booked
through a third party. We had wanted a King bed but since this was not
available we were "given" an upgrade to a concierge floor. This proved
meaningless as the lounge was closed throughout our entire stay
(Friday-Sunday afternoon). The room was compact with reasonable
amenities (soap but no shower gel) but otherwise everything was well
thought out in an economical but not particularly stylish way. (This is
not a hotel for anyone who dislikes green and red as a color combination
in garish patterns) There are vending machines in the hallways for soft
drinks or water and a laundry by the fitness centre. There seemed to be
a reasonable selection of gym equipment but the pool was small and
didn't look very appealing. (We stayed last year at the Delta Suites and
their pool is much nicer but the location is off centre). The highlight
(apart from a good, quiet sleep) was breakfast. While the selection did
not appear fantastic, there was everything I could have hoped for
including gluten free bread and cappuccinos included in the buffet price
($17 I think) with excellent and friendly service from the ladies on
duty. Broadband was complimentary which is greatly appreciated. I like
to try out new hotels and think this is probably the best I have stayed
in in Victoria. However the Sidney Pier Hotel in Sidney near the airport
and ferries is a more stylish option in the area.

We had a wonderful stay at the Marriott. The room and bathroom were very
nice and of standard Marriott quality. We had drinks and bev on their
outdoor patio, one of their first sunny days. The service and food was
excellent.
Their breakfast buffet was very nice and omelet's were made to order.
Again service was excellent.
The only thing that I could recommend for the hotel is to put sound
proof glass in, there was a little bit of noise from the outside.
Budget rental car is right across the street, very convenient.

My daughter and I stayed here for 5 nights. The room was spacious and
spotless; the pool was warm and in pristine condition. Although the
hotel is large, the staff knew our names by the end of the first day
even though we are not conspicuous in our behavior. I cannot say enough
for how enjoyable our stay was. It is only several blocks to the inner
harbour itself.
We did not use the restaurant as we are light eaters, so I cannot
comment upon the quality.

The hotel has everything that you would expect from a Marriott. We have
been travelling all over western Canada on our trip and the rate we were
able to get ($99 a night) is obviously value for money. I don't know if
it is just the off season or competition in Victoria, but we paid the
same for a three star hotel in Kamloops and the two experiences were
markedly different. The staff were excellent, friendly and considerate.

When I have to travel to a city where there isn't a Marriot I really
don't want to go. The Marriot Inner Harbour is in a great spot that
allows you to walk/get around Victoria.
The restaurant (Fire and water) is fantastic and worth a meal or two.
You can't go wrong staying at this hotel. We loved this Marriott. Close
to all the attractions. Lovely interior design. I have never seen a
hotel room anywhere that was this clean. the room seemed almost brand
new.
I have stayed at many Marriott and the one thing you can count on is
1. The hotel is clean
2. The staff is helpful
3. The hotel is consistent in what they offer
4. The beds are the best in the business and they have the best pillows

Good Hotel, decent sized rooms. Decor a little chintzy for my liking but
pretty neutral considering it's in Victoria! Good gym and pool, Hotel
restaurant was good too with good special deals every day.

We booked directly with the hotel, Great rate of $100 per night.
When we arrived early the room was ready, check in was fast,
once we got to the room it had 2 double beds, one call got a corner room
with a king size bed. I have to say that the sheets are the nicest
sheets I have every slept in. Nice quiet hotel.
Everything that I expected!

we stayed at the Marriott for a few day after Christmas. having stayed
here several times before we can't imagine staying anywhere else. once
again everything was perfect. friendly staff and spotlessly clean rooms.
we asked for a corner balcony room and were given one on the top floor
with views of the legislature and ocean. you can walk to the inner
harbor, restaurants and shopping. we will be back...

I really liked the Marriott. Newer property shows. Very nice decor the
rooms were quite large for a hotel and the bathrooms were a nice size
also. Very clean overall, service was excellent. Loved the bed and
bedding and the robes. The bathroom was done in a very nice tile.
Balcony was nice as is the location, close to everything. Higher floors
have better views. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again and again.

We liked the location and checked out the price - a very reasonable
off-season rate, and to improve things our room was upgraded. Everything
was as it should be - neat, clean and well organized. It even had
trilight bulbs in the trilight light fixtures. (Don't laugh - I have
lost track of the number of hotels that scrimp by putting regular bulbs
in the trilight fixtures, and as a consequence there is inadequate light
for reading.)
Although there was evidence that our floor was well occupied, we found
the room to be very quiet.

Great, friendly staff, check in was a breeze, parking easy and
convenient, fantastic location, reasonable rates, good food and the
cleanest rooms we have ever seen. Get the IDEA, we have been to Victoria
many times before, but never stayed here, i never liked chain hotels
that much before. The room was very attractively appointed, 2 huge floor
to ceiling windows, and they opened. Nice refrigerator safe and all the
usual stuff. I called about a point of interest we wanted o see, and was
asked if it was ok to be put on hold for a little bit-no problem. He
called them got the rates, times and later brought to the room written
directions to the location-WOW. We were given excellent recommendations
for restaurants throughout the city. The day before we left we went to a
highly recommended place for breakfast,( The Blue Fox) the line was 50
strong- I don't do lines, so we walked around forever and finally ate
lunch somewhere. The last day I needed breakfast and hating to go to
hotel restaurants, I bit the bullet and went to the Fire and Water
restaurant in the lobby. It was excellent, I had the buffet with an
omelets bar and all the food you could want, the pastries were the best
I have had in years. |
