Review of the Sandman Hotel Victoria
Jan 19, 2010
Good location, very clean, family and dog-friendly;
information and service needed was provided but they
could have been a little friendlier (my only criticism)
but I would go back there again because of the location
and it was very clean. The bed was too soft and
apparently there wasn’t a choice of a firm bed. The room
was pretty small for the price.

Very average for the price, Location farther from
downtown than we anticipated but ample free parking a
plus. Has an indoor pool with spa tub, an exercise room,
and a self-service business center with high-speed
Internet access. Quite close to a large mall if shopping
is an interest.

Was on a part business, part leisure trip and stayed for
3 nights in a very nice suite with kitchen and sitting
area. I was near the bar/restaurant and would imagine
had the windows been open it might have been a bit
noisy, but can't say it actually bothered me much given
I'm usually up until the wee hours anyway. No complaints
at all about the room except out of the 3 nights the
internet connections (both wireless and cable) only
worked the first day for a while. I needed that Internet
working but to no avail.
The various desk staff I spoke with throughout my visit
told me there was no internet was because the hotel just
received a lot of guests (and I did manage to get a
connection again about 2 AM the first night), the next
day I was told it was because they were having technical
issues with their server and it wouldn't be fixed for a
day or two. Not much of a help to me so I had to check
out even though I wanted to stay a couple of more days.
I just had no faith they would get the Internet
connections working after it being unreliable for 3 days
already.
To be somewhat fair I will say they did offer to let me
use their office connection, but since I had my dog with
me, that arrangement wasn't too helpful as she would
have been a distraction as people came and went in the
lobby.
This was also the only hotel of many I stayed in this
trip (2 weeks of hotels) that charged me long distance
charges for calling toll free numbers. Even though I had
specifically asked prior to calling any 800 numbers, at
check out they would not bend and I had to pay for the
calls.
So, hotel itself was clean and nice to stay in and
located outside of downtown but still central, but not
having that Internet for nearly the whole 3 days and
being charged for long distance put a damper on it. I'm
afraid not having Internet is the deal breaker for me.

I have been there 4 times for work, stayed for 2 weeks
once, 1 week the other times.
The rooms are clean and normal. No good views, It's in a
business area not near the waterfront so 15 minutes walk
or a 5 minute bus ride - they have double-decker buses
and they stop right outside the hotel, $2.25.
Great place to stay if you brought a car, secure
underground parking, easy to find your way back to.
There is a sports bar attached that has average food and
service, lots of TVs, but all the good spots to eat or
drink are downtown.

The Sandman Hotel in Victoria was clean and easy to
find. When we arrived it was late at night and the front
desk person was not at his post when we arrived. We had
to wait 15 minutes before he returned. There was no
indication of where he/she was and when to expect him to
return. Upon his return, he was very friendly to myself
and daughter and was most efficient in our check-in
process. We were upgraded and hotel check out was just
as efficient. The only real draw back was upon our
arrival, the parking lot was full finding parking was
not easy.

Our stay at the Victoria Sandman hotel was the last stop
on our get away. The Sandman was a bit of a
disappointment. Not to say there was anything wrong with
it, but since it was the most expensive we expected
more. If you are looking for a clean hotel near downtown
with free secure parking this is your place.

The room itself was clean and comfortable but looked on
to the back alley and the backs of shops etc. It was a
20 min walk into the town itself which felt even longer
on a night. Great stay, came from Toronto and wanted to
have a solid budget hotel. This exceeded our
expectation! People were friendly, rooms were spacious
and clean, seemed to be well kept, I recommend it!

I loved this hotel. We spent two wonderful nights here.
The room was big and very clean. The cleaning staff did
a great job. In the room, we had a kitchenette and a
small living room area with a couch and a TV. It was
very comfortable.
The pool is large and clean and the water was just warm
enough.
The hotel itself is just far enough from downtown
Victoria to be relaxing and still close enough to enjoy
the sights of the city.

I reserved a room, and was told it was the last room
available, but not that it was a smoking room..
Needless to say it was not a good stay and i had to air
out the luggage when I got home.
The lounge/restaurant is very busy at night. A perfect
spot to have a lively meal.

I came to this hotel with my family last week. The hotel
itself is clean, inviting and has been fairly recently
decorated. The rooms were also all spacious and clean,
with TV, coffee maker etc. The pool and Jacuzzi were
nice too. We had breakfast at the hotel every day and it
was good value for money and tasty, with good service.
The only downside for my family and I was the hotel
location. It was about a 20 minute walk from the start
of the shopping/sightseeing part of Victoria, which
isn't too far, but I travelled with some elderly family
who found this a little far to stroll to town! Taxis
weren't too expensive to/from hotel though, costing
about 6.50. Internet access and parking available. |
