Red Lion Inn and Suites Victoria

The hotel was well cleaned, artistic decorations, practical layout, just right amount of kitchen equipments and smiley stafff and house keeping staff. Close to the shopping mall was the bonus.

After a week of camping, this hotel was exactly the cozy getaway we needed! The room was spotless, the beds were super comfy, and having a mini kitchen made things so much easier for our family. The kids absolutely loved the heated pool — especially when it drizzled a little one afternoon. The AC kept our rooms nice and cool, which was a big plus. We also really appreciated the convenience of The Jade Fountain Restaurant right next door — dinner was just a few steps away! Highly recommend this place for families traveling with kids. The location is perfect, and everything just felt easy and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!!

The property has a good pool from 2.5ft to 8.5ft at the deepest, so good areas for all family sizes. They have the basic ice machines to use that all hotels have. They have a Chinese restaurant on the bottom floor that is okay, but I recommend you go elsewhere. Beds were comfortables and rooms were clean. The building is a little out-dated but it is renovated.

For the price point, everything about this stay was great. We asked for a quiet room and got one that exceeded that - overlooking a currently closed pool in a courtyard, and on a hallway through two doors with only 2 rooms on it. The reception staff were professional and helpful, and the room was really comfortable. Renovated with lots of lighting and plugs. The bed was comfortable, and the kitchenette was really well supplied, which is often not the case. Two burners, all the utensils and dishes and cookware we needed, and a full sized fridge. The room was fairly small but drawers on either side of the bed and a large closet so lots of places to put things away. We only stayed one night, but having experienced it, we would definitely book here for a longer stay as well.

As I have stayed here before on several occasions, I knew about the Red Lion's convenient location - as a jump off point for bus transport throughout the city and beyond. Only a few minutes' walk to the Uptown Mall, and 10 minutes by bus to downtown Victoria. The rooms are clean and staff is helpful and business-like. My room - with its kitchenette, was extraordinary value when compared to most Canadian hotels. (Of course, it is low season.) Attached Chinese restaurant was convenient, though pricey.
