The apartment suite is great for a large family; can't beat the pricing,
especially with the manager's special which included meal coupons for the new
bistro. There was some confusion with both check-in and check-out procedures,
which was a bit of a hassle. Other than that, the beds were very comfortable and
the cleaning ladies were charming. The waitress in the bistro was accommodating
to my younger children and the food was excellent; it was very much appreciated
that side dishes were available that youngsters can enjoy along with more
adult-orientated dining. There seems to be limited hot water in the evening and
the taps were difficult to adjust to get a good temperature. There was plenty of
hot water in the morning. The little kitchen was great and it was nice to have
it separated from the living area. The view to the Gorge was pleasant also. This
hotel is easy to get to from the ferries and to downtown Victoria. A tip is to
turn right on Douglas, drive through to Superior, turn right, then turn right
again into the museum back parking lot. Park here and then walk throughout the
Inner Harbour, Government St., the Wharf, etc

This hotel is very nice, a lot of it looks fairly new (possibly renovated in the
last few years?) and is in great shape. A few parts seem to be older, but nicely
remodeled - stuff that shouldn't really matter much anyway, like the elevator.
While it's not in the heart of Victoria, the bus will take you right there in a
few minutes, and runs pretty frequently (even on Sundays, which I found to be
very reduced on some routes like at the airport). Many (if not all?) rooms have
small balconies with a couple chairs, which I would have loved if the weather
were a little warmer (not gonna blame the hotel on that one). My only complaint
was that the wifi seemed down, which must have been just bad luck.
Speaking of bad luck, I think I had my share of that for this trip. Well, that
and I was a little bit scatterbrained after taking 5 flights to 3 cities in the
last 3 days. Starting at the bus stop, I think I pulled something out of my
pocket and my keycards (still in envelope with room number) fell onto the ground
without me noticing. Thankfully, some kind Canadan brought it to the front desk.
Thanks for that, whoever you are. When I realized what happened, I went to the
front desk and Roxie gave them to me before I could even open my mouth.
This girl is awesome, I've lost count of the number of times she helped me out
with random things... including calling the airport shuttle company and even
printing my boarding passes (twice... I had a strange itinerary) when the free
computer in the lobby was already taken. Not to mention the conversations we
had. If she was sick of talking to me, she couldn't have done a better job of
hiding it! Thanks for everything, I'll definitely come back if I'm in Victoria
again (which I sure hope I do).
Oh, and at the airport on my way home I realized I left my charger in my room.
Yup, bad luck... unfortunately, it will probably cost about as much to get a new
one as it would to mail it across the border.

The front desk attendant, Roxy, was very polite and knowledgeable about places
to check out in Victoria, which i appreciated greatly. The restaurant in the
lobby had delicious food and the liquor store nearby was extremely convenient as
well. I had an excellent stay and would definitely come stay here again upon my
next trip to Victoria! Thank you Ramada Victoria!

Horrible experience checking in with front desk staff. Cold water from shower.
Toilet was running all night. Coffee maker didn't work in morning. No water in
pool.

My wife and I found this hotel to be an excellent "find". It is well located -
only a few minutes to downtown Victoria. We were well looked after at check in
and out - Roxie was helpful on both occasions. Plenty of free parking. Price was
a great value - our room was clean and well kept, with an in-room refrigerator
microwave and coffee machine.

Spent the weekend in Victoria and decided to check out this hotel. From the
minute we walked through the door to the minute we left, it was a fantastic
experience. We were greeted by Sean, the manager, and he was one of the most
helpful hotel staff we have ever encountered in our many years of extensive
travel. The food at the new restaurant was absolutely delicious and the gym and
breakfast were a big plus! The rooms were immaculate and we even chatted with
the housekeepers on several occasions - such lovely ladies! We will definitely
stay here again and also recommend that our friends stay there whenever they go
to Victoria! Thank you!

Very dirty, dumpy , old , smelly. The out side is dumpy, the rooms are small and
dirty , the smell of foul food is in the hallways and room. Couldn't sleep,
walls are paper thin and people were coming and going into the night.
It seems as if they must rent the rooms buy the month, we could hear people
clanging plates and forks and smell the food right next door. There were people
hanging around out side and off of the balconies. I will never stay there again
and will certainly not recomend it to any one else, in fact I will tell people
not to go near the place. Ramada should be ashamed to have their name on this
place. I will never stay at a Ramada again.

Could hardly ask for a nicer place to stay. The staff are wonderful and helpful,
the room was clean, spacious and newly renovated. They were offering a great
food and beverage package where you got breakfast at there new restaurant which
we very much enjoyed, great food! We also liked the quietness of the area and
the hotel, yet it was still an easy walk or drive to downtown. Also liked the
fact that parking and wifi was free. Will definitely recommend this hotel!
