Hotels Near BC Shaver & Hobbies Ltd in Victoria

Definitely my favorite place to stay in Victoria! All tje special touches they do is really appreciated! Fresh baked cookies and a hand written note on the bed! Breakfast is 5 Star!!

We stayed 3 nights at Grand Pacific Hotel. Our room (5th floor) was amazing as we had a little deck from which we could watch the ferries come & go as well as harbor traffic. Through the trees we could also see cruise ships too! Due to staff shortage there was no daily housekeeping but they would bring up towels and coffee etc as required. We only ate 2 breakfasts at the hotel but both were very good! Especially the Avocado Toast !! The hotel location was perfect as it’s walking distance to many attractions and close to the harbor taxis too. Beautiful at night with the parliament lit up and the various fountains, horse drawn carriages and harbor lights. Definitely will be back.

We stayed at the Embassy Inn last weekend. We had been visiting family in the Duncan area and wanted to have a chance to check out Victoria for a day before flying home. Check in was smooth, the room was a good size, clean and had comfortable beds. A very easy walk to Government Street, Chinatown, etc. We ate in the downtown area and enjoyed taking photos of the Legislature, the VICTORIA sign and waterfront lit up at night. Breakfast was included and had quite a variety. A very walkable area and a hotel that we will return to for future visits.

The location of the hotel is superior, and you can walk to the scenic spots when you go out. There is a kitchen in the room, where breakfast and coffee can be easily made. There are two very comfortable beds without disturbing each other 👍.

We chose this hotel at the last minute, We needed something close to the Jubilee Hospital, and needed a good price. I love the location of the Huntingdon Manor. We ended up with a Euro Loft suite, which is a room with a kitchen, sofa bed, and then 3 beds upstairs. The room had everything we needed, and would work great for a girls weekend as it sleeps 5. We had a lovely harbour view. Our rate also included breakfast, and parking which is a huge bonus! The room is a bit dated, could us some new carpet for sure. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay.

Booked for my wife and I to spend some time away exploring the Victoria and area. I initially booked the ”Petite Suite” which was just a bit too cozy for us (my fault - didn't read the details). Despite the busy time, the desk staff were incredibly gracious and worked to accommodate a swap to a larger room. Unfailingly helpful and polite - they made our stay. The actual Hotel is ridiculously charming and cozy, and ideally located within walking distance of various parks, pubs, restaurants, etc. When we come back to Victoria, we'll be at the James Bay Inn!

I'll start with the good..... free parking, hot water, power shower, daily fresh towels & coffee, iron & ironing board, good staff, microwave, kettle, Keurig, fridge. Our room was OK. However, there is no elevator. The bed creaked every time you moved, the springs were noisy & when one rolled over, the other followed suit, you both rolled together it needs a new mattress & base. The pillows were lumpy and had no substance to them even when you used two. The curtains were threadbare & paint peeling off the walls. No safe in the room. Storage & hangers are minimal. Black grout in between the tiles on the floor (needs a scrub with some grout cleaner). This doesn’t mean it wasn't cleaned as there was no hair in the sink or bath from previous occupants that we saw room was cleaned daily with fresh towels. The sink was not in the bathroom but in the bedroom. Pool & sauna.....pool was warm, but it needs a clean - there were live bugs in the pool we were in it approximately 10 minutes before we got out as we were grosses out, you could not see the bottom it was cloudy. The saunas are separate, one male & one female with change room facilities we didn't use them we also didn't use the fitness room. Access to the pool/sauna/fitness room, you have to go outside, walk the path , and then re-enter the building. The on-site dining....The Loft great staff with good pub food salt n pepper pork bites were very the kitchen staff worked very hard. Live music most nights but not disturbed by it. The Coachman, we had 1 breakfast there, and it wasn't great. Apparently, the chef was Grumpy that day .... maybe that's why it wasn't great? Waitress was great. All in all staff, were great, shower was powerful & hot, bed was not comfy we won't stay here again when we visit next.

The hotel in general was alright. Nothing too special or fancy. There was a good restaurant at the base called Bin 4. What makes this hotel not great is that from the time that we were there (3 nights), 4 car windows were smashed and broken into including our own car. There was nothing in the vehicle. It seemed just to happen for the purpose of breaking something. The worst part is the day if we had to do a 7 hour drive home taking the ferry and the Coquihalla. The hotel says there is 24/7 security and people at the hotel which just doesn’t make sense for so many vehicles being broken into. Of course the hotel isn’t ‘responsible’. May not be the place you want to stay and certainly don’t leave anything in your car.

Our two-week stay was a great experience. The suite two Queen beds corner guest room was a great size and a value for the price. However, with the new soaps and conditioner pump bottles hanging off the walls, the limited space is significantly reduced for turning around. A wand-style showerhead would have improved some of these concerns. However, the hotel maintenance staff were accommodating and installed one we provided within ten minutes. Of particular note is the location of the corner suite, the distance from the elevator adds an additional difficulty for mobility-challenged individuals, as walking in one direction is quite a distance. The daily construction across the street also discouraged using our balcony or opening our windows to enjoy Victoria's spring air. We did not eat at the hotel pub as the menu did not appeal to us, and breakfast was not included. Still, there are various nearby restaurant options to satisfy our needs. The indoor pool was cool but refreshing, with our swim limited to no more than 15 minutes. A continuing challenge is the free parking at the hotel, as more is needed because guests compete for spots with the pub and construction workers across the road. Too often, someone would occupy the two accessible locations, and the rest of the parking lot would also be full. However, the front desk staff was terrific. We will definitely look to returning to the hotel in the future.

On our Canda tour we spent a few days at Brentwood Bay Resort. We booked a Ocean Suite. The staff was really very friendly, the room mega beautiful, everything clean, the beds comfortable, especially the bathroom with the bathroom ”half in the room” really beautiful and somehow something else. We had dinner in the pub in the evening and the food was delicious :) A pool is also available. In principle, yes, but the location of this was a great disadvantage for us personally. The rooms with balconies are almost directly at the pool and are therefore visible. Everyone can look at one at the evening “sitting out” as well as scream from the restaurant. The volume is accordingly. When we were there (under the week), it was not super full and therefore durable. In full-occupied pool and well-visited pub (e.g. weekend), this will be different. We have tried to exchange the room (which was unfortunately not possible) and have actually felt something disturbed in our private life. But we have enjoyed our stay!
