Motel 6 Saanichton, BC - Victoria Airport

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff"

Thunderbird Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"A little noisy from other patrons"

Croftinn & Motel

8/10 Good

"we checked in very late, but the staff was cheerful and helpful"

Best Western Plus Chemainus Inn

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best things about this hotel is Hesham (Front Desk/check-in). He welcomes you like an old friend (even if it's your first time staying there). Our room (and two other groups/guests) wasn't ready - not his fault as we were early to check-in. He offered us a seat in reception, showed us where we could get coffee/tea from while we waited (they have an amazing cappuccino machine and a great selection of teas. When our room was ready (not long at all - we hadn't even finished our coffee's or the fresh baked cookies they offer daily), he didn't call out from behind the desk, he walked over to us on the couch and told us he could finish checking us in now. Our room was spotless, cozy and bright. The beds and pillows were really comfortable. Our room had a fridge and Keurig coffee maker. The breakfast (included with our stay) had a great section (eggs, sausage, potato, fruit, pastries/breads, yogurt, make your own waffles and a lot more). Our stay was 5 star. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for accommodation in the area."

Brentwood Bay Resort - Adults Only (16+)

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location! Pretty boutique hotel. Very personal touch. Arrival local cider welcome drinks on arrival. Very accommodating from early check in to room with a view! Pub was right up our street! Met chris at the harbour office right at front of the hotel. Already planning next year’s trip! Tracy on front desk great! See you next year."

Coast Bastion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My favorite of Hotels. Huge rooms, very clean and comfortable. Only thing I would say is it would be nice if their water station was on each floor and if you are paying for a hotel night, parking should be included and not an extra charge."

Villa Eyrie Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice. Comfortable room and enjoyed the dining"

Fuller Lake Motel

8/10 Good

"This is a simple motel but it has been nicely renovated and the staff were very helpful. I would recommend it."

Oceanfront Suite with Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my week staying at this property. Very neat and tidy with everything you need. Incredible views. Maple Bay is tucked away but situated very centrally on the island for heading out on adventures. Kathy is a lovely hostess and very responsive to any questions or concerns."
