When you want to stay somewhere that gives you a unique experience, this is the place to stay! The Waddling Dog is full of character- antiques, old pictures, oak paneling, and dark beams. With a resident basset hound to boot! Feelings like a Faulty Towers film set. The hotel is comfortable, room clean and staff friendly. Breakfast is adequate but... More

Stayed here just before flying out of the Victoria Airport. It is an interesting small hotel with lots of atmosphere. The room was large and beds comfortable. The restaurant/pub offered some great meal options too. Very convenient to the airport too!

Breakfast was included, the dog is absolutely adorable and the room was spacious and pretty clean. However, there is a much longer list of the downsides. The 3 front desk women we encountered during our one night stay were all unfriendly, distant and rather uninterested in us as customers. The included breakfast was meager, the food was not fresh and... More

This is an older 3 story hotel that has been partially updated. The bed was pretty comfortable. The room has a wall unit heater that worked well to warm the room when it was cold outside. Located just off the highway from the ferry toward Victoria' it's a bit far out to use for a city visit but is close... More

Since we were flying out of Victoria Airport early in the morning and arriving back fairly late in the evening we booked into the Waddling Dog for the night before and after our trip. We knew they were no longer offering breakfast but theyt did keep our car for us for two weeks and got us to the airport. We... More

After our ferry ride from Anacortes in Washington State we disembarked in Sidney BC and rolled our rental car into the line for Canadian Customs. There is no dedicated lane for Nexus holders but the wait was under 15 minutes. Then the search started for this Quality Inn which was not in town but a few kilometers down the road... More

I'm not going to go into too much detail about the fact that they refuse to serve me food because my shellfish allergy is deemed "too severe" for them to ensure my safety - they honestly told me they don't have the time to clean their hands, cookware, or grills to prevent cross contamination. I won't go into too much... More

Stayed August long weekend for a night. Check in was courteous. Room was very spacious, did have a bit of a smell... Cute dog that is around the hotel. The floor of the shower was very odd - it was squishy in a way that there seemed to be space between the upper layer and the bottom layer and there... More
