With so many other reviews posted, we felt we should point out the best features of the Victoria Red Lion. We stayed on a Monday night at the beginning of our Vancouver Island trip, and a Saturday night at the end. We could find no better value accommodations anywhere in the area. Yes, the rooms are small and crowded with... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night while vacationing in British Columbia with aunt/uncle. My first impressions of this hotel was that it was a decent suburban hotel with a beautiful lobby and check-in area. However, once we got our rooms, we noticed that there was insufficient lighting, and some of the furniture seemed to be a bit worned... more

End up we stayed 5 days at the Red Lion. Our family enjoyed our trip to Vancouver Island. We planed to stay 2 days at first, then move to another hotel on the upper Vancouver island. However, after the first 2 days stay, we decided to stay this hotel for our entire trip. Staffs are very friendly, the suite we... more

The biggest problem with the Red Lion is that rooms are quite small but they have still crammed in all the furniture you might expect in a larger room. Initially for the first night we were given a room with two double beds that was so cramped that cases had to go on one bed and it was difficult to... more

I agree with other reviewers that the Red Lion is good value for the money but nothing fancy. For $65/night it was better than I expected so I gave it 4 stars: clean, nice little desk that's well lit, good water pressure with plenty of hot water, decent bed, friendly front desk in the night and morning, and not noisy.... more

We made a booking at this hotel becasue we needed a 1 bedroom suite with our baby. The upsides - good sized beds, a nice kitchenette, a cheap on-site laundry, a full-size fridge, a renovated bathroom with a bath, plenty of parking, close to shopping malls, easy access to downtown and free internet in the lobby. The downsides - a... more

The website makes this place out to be in an exclusive area near downtown and surrounded by a park. I was terribly dissapointed to find that it is actually quite a ways from downtown, not at all in a park, and is attached to a strip joint. Staff was unfriendly and informed me that though we had left Seattle at... more

Spent a week in Victoria just to get away for a little vacation and was looking for somewhere with a reasonable price and this was the best deal in town. Was pleasently surprized at how quiet it was with bars near by and a liquor store downstairs. The staff went out of their way to help in any way they... more

PROS: 1. Price...good deal for suite. 2. Kitchenette allowed us to have breakfast in room each morning without having to go to a restaurant. Microwave, fridge, stovetop, etc nice for kids to have snacks. 3. Separate bedroom in suite allowed some privacy and space for us and our kids. 4. Nice bathroom...it's so nice compared to rest of unit that... more
