Good for the Price
Our experience was pretty decent, elevator is scary, first room we got was a tad
dirty but they were very helpful and got a clean asap. Front desk was helpful,
they do lock their doors in the latter part of the evening so you may have to
wait a few minutes if you are getting in from the Bar. Good Breakfast. Over all
great Deal.

It will do
Nice older hotel, small & that includes the rooms . Wood structure so it's a
little creaky. Almost empty my entire stay. The only time there was more than 5
cars in the parking lot was during the Sunday Brunch when the parking lot was
full. It is not the Empress but the price is not the Empress either. Good choice
for a base of operations, some where to come back to sleep. I would stay again.
Getting around
Victoria is a small city. If you have a car and a map / GPS nothing is more than
about 20 minutes away. Note, Victoria's main parking lot company is almost
criminal. I parked after 7 pm in a lot in China Town that I thought had closed
for the day, no note of evening or overnight rates. I came back at 8 pm to a car
that had been booted and was charged $80.00 on the spot to have the boot
removed...

I chose Super8 because it was the cheapest place I could find near the downtown
area.
I also has FREE breakfast, which is cereal, toast and bakery items. Also your
juice, and hot drinks.
There is a heap of parking, which is shared with the pub and bottle shop all
part of the same building.
I thought the outside looked really good, and the lobby looked nice too. The
room I stayed in was a small room with a TV. It did look dated, but not dirty.
The bathroom had all we needed.
If you're on a budget, you really can't beat this place. It's also across the
road from ABC Country restaurant and a block or two from Dennys, so you can get
a cheap dinner too.
It's also walking distance from Sharkys bar, and the Pallmall shopping centre.
Bus stop right outside, and maybe a 5 - 10 minute ride into the downtown.

We needed a place for 4 nights over Christmas in Victoria. The Super 8 turned
out to be a very good deal for us. On check-in the receptionist noticed we had a
lot of luggage so she upgraded our room to a suite at no cost. The hallways and
room were recently renovated. We received free breakfast, free WiFi, free local
phone calls and free parking. There is a restaurant in the hotel, and although
it closes at 3:00 pm there is an ABC Restaurant across the street and Golden
Arches. There is a liquor store in back of the building. The room was clean and
comfortable, and there was coin laundry available in the hotel. What more could
one ask for $252 for 4 nights, including tax

We occasionally need to go to Jubilee Hospital in Victoria and find the Super 8
on Douglas Street very convenient, good value and best of all an elevator as
medical problems make stairs difficult

All the staff were super helpful with directions, with finding me additional
computer support and with breakfast. The room was equipped with a small fridge,
microwave and coffee maker so I could make myself a sandwich and popcorn and
coffee or tea. Overall, it was a very quiet and relaxing place to stay for a
very reasonable rate. It made my visit to Victoria comfortable and safe.

My husband and I were traveling to beautiful Victoria for the first time. We
opted for a more moderate priced hotel since we would be spending all day out
sight seeing and not in the room. This hotel is a couple of miles away from
downtown Victoria, a pretty easy drive. The hotel itself is not attractive from
the outside. In fact it's right next to some kind of industrial plant.
Immediately walking in it felt old and dirty. Dark walls, dark carpet. This
woman who checked us in was very nice and helpful with directions and
recommendations for restaurants etc. Our room was on the third floor so we had
to take what I named later the "elevator of death!" It was small, there was just
my husband and me and two small suitcases and we barely fit. It squeaked and
bumped the whole three floors and did a drop when the doors finally opened. The
room was actually not bad, it had a small kitchenette with a sink, microwave,
refrigerator and coffee maker. There was a queen size bed that was comfortable
enough. The bathroom was fine although if you wanted to use the sink you had to
shut the door since it opened right into it. My biggest surprise and complaint
came that evening when we were getting ready for bed. Our room being on the
third floor we had a view of a the tops of buildings and offices in a seedy
looking industrial area. The view to our left was other rooms in the hotel. I
reached out and grabbed the curtains to close them to change for bed and they
did not move. I thought maybe they were caught or broke, no they were unable to
close because they were only a yard wide. They were strictly for looks! There
was no way to block out they guests from the other rooms looking in or to block
out the sun coming up in the morning.....are you kidding me?? I have never seen
that in a hotel. I figured there was no reason to complain , what were they
gonna do, make new curtains and hang them for us? After touring downtown
Victoria we decided if we ever make a trip back there again we will stay at one
of the hotels on the harbor. Much nicer and a much better view.

Halfway between airport and harbour, the location worked for us. We got a great
nightly rate and the room was sufficient for the price. Free continental
breakfast and lots of free parking. No frills, not luxurious, needs updating -
but for the price it's fine.

My husband & I stay here frequently (twice a year for the past several years)
because it is close to the seniors' retirement residence where his mother lives.
There are several hotels and motels in the area but we see no reason to seek
other accommodation. The rooms here are clean, comfortable and well-lit. The
rates, especially in the winter, are very good. The complimentary continental
breakfast is perfectly adequate - juices, coffee/tea, fresh fruits, cereals,
toast, and a nice assortment of baked items. On our most recent visit, we had
problems with the toilet and reported it in the morning. By the time we returned
from our days' activities, it had been fixed.
