Gulf Islands Hotel Guide - Hotels with Bar in Gulf Islands, British Columbia

"Stayed with my sibling in a basic studio room with a single bed. Homestyle comfort with a dishwasher, stovetop to cook on, and other kitchen appliances available in the room. Bathroom had a standing shower AND a deep tub for baths (I'm 5'11" and 250 lbs so this was very exciting for me as bathtubs don't fit me most of the time lol). Note: the water flow was low so may take a long time to actually fill the tub. I didn't end up using it for this reason. There weren't any of those travel size products that hotels often have, but the shower came equipped with options of shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash. These soaps and the hand soap at the sink all had a fragrance (for those who are sensitive), and it was a pleasant one with. Our room was hot but the balcony (a real treat to have) allowed us to let some cooling fresh air in. There was also an oscillating standing fan in the closet that helped speed the process up. No A/C, period. Staff were friendly, responsive, and aided in an easeful check-in process. The ambiance and decor is earthy and enchanting, with a touch of whimsy. Underground parking is available for $23/night (at the time of writing). Overall, an excellent experience for a relatively reasonable cost. I would stay here again."

"Location is excellent, freindly staff, property is well maintained. Breakfast was a bonus for the price. I would syay at this property again."

"Fantastic hotel just out of the city centre. Room had a stunning view over the harbour, was clean and well maintained. Staff very helpful with a few amenities we’d forgotten. Didn’t try the gym or pool as spent our time out and about but strongly recommended for visitors to Victoria."

"I ahve stayed at red lion many many times. This was the worst time. The TV was messed up when we were trying to relax in the suite after wandering the city. The front desk attendant helped fix that. The sink was dirty when we got into the room. Toothpaste was still in the sink. The bed and suite were well kept otherwise. The main aggrevation of the trip was at 7:30-8am, the housekeepers were talking and yelling in Korean and laughing in the hallway for hours. We found out when we were leaving that the maids room was across the way and they had the door wide open. Our sleep was disrupted and so we're left tired for the day. This should be common knowledge that before 9-10am people are sleeping. Warning! If you get room 120, ask to move!!!!"

"Hide a bed very uncomfortable. Lacking in kitchen utensils. Breakfast buffet very expensive lack of variety and food was cold. do not recommend"

"One chair in a four person room and we were denied a second chair when we requested one. No tea in room and Keurig did’nt work!"

"Can hear the room next door. Everything else was excellent "

"Breakfast was good had it three mornings and was still hot when arrived"

"The perfect place for a romantic escape! We loved every minute and will be back!"
