East Sooke Park Vacations from $935

First I was very disappointed to find out the outdoor area with the firepits were only open to those who paid an additional $100+ per night to use this area. The hotel shows this overlook of the harbor in their adds but don't be fooled, it comes at a cost. Also, booked through Hotels.com and we were given a room on the 5th floor. The room again was not as shown. It was dangerous to those who frequent the bathroom at night due to several steps down from the bed. Bed was OK but not great. Small room. Nowhere to sit and have a glass of wine except in the lounge and restaurant. Lounge required a reservation on weekends except at the bar. Nowhere to hang out. Staff and location were great. Beautiful from the outside but beauty was only skin deep.

Top-notch staff, beautiful grounds, and an outstanding view. But the walls in the main lodge are thin and we could hear every swear word spoken by the arguing couple in the room above us. After a couple hours, we called the front desk and they graciously notified the arguing couple. Still, the walls are really thin

Great as always! Love these little cottages.
