Despite cigarette smoking, cannabis smoking and vaping being prohibited inside the motel, the female occupant the room below ours on the ground floor could be seen smoking cannabis, the smell which then filtered up into our room. Disgusting!

We stayed for one night and got a surprise upgrade to a suite! The Kitchenette was handy. The mattress topper on the sofa bed was a nice touch; however it was a bit hard to sleep in that room as skylight let in a lot of light. Oh well! It was just one night! We went to Bin4Burger Lounge for dinner—just a 4min drive away.

We like the kitchenette and the cleanliness of the room. The parking was small though. The elevator was a little outdated.

The hotel is well located for access to downtown Victoria, about 4 km from the harbour. The hotel staff were so welcoming and helpful, letting us check in a bit early, and offering to book a cab to take us where we needed to go in the very early morning. The room was spacious, beds comfortable, and the kitchenette handy. Highly recommend!

Clean and spacious room!

Check in was easy. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. We found the air conditioning unit to be quite noisy so we needed to turn it off. Although we didn't go to the restaurant or bar connected to the hotel, it looked pretty good serving Asian cuisine. There was a liquor store also connected to the building in case you wanted to pick up some beverages. It was about 10 minutes to the waterfront which was a simple Uber drive to. It cost about $20.00 one way. My only complaint is that you could hear everything that was happening in the hallway including conversations in other rooms. Overall this was a good place to stay.

AC noisier than most

The rooms were reasonably clean. The beds were comfy and the staff was helpful and friendly. The one restaurant pub was under some kind of renovation and there was dust everywhere in it, so we opted not to eat there. They is another restaurant in the hotel, a Chinese restaurant, but we didn't eat there so I can't say either way what it was like. Overall, the price was definitely reasonable and I would feel comfortable recommending it to people. Next time we go to Victoria though, I will probably stay a little closer to downtown.

Stayed in 2 Double Bed suite with a bedroom & kitchenette. Kitchenette had all essential appliances, allowing us to prep a couple meals in the room. Kids loved the pool.

Was well received by the gentleman at the front desk on August 4th. He stepped it up in getting us into our room earlier than 1:00 pm. That was a huge relief for me since I was up at 5:00 am and six hours later, ready for a nap.... Thank you kind sir at the front desk. Sincerely yours, Leslie Queen

Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Facility is getting older but appears to be well maintained and clean. Rooms are unexpectedly well equipped. With comfortable beds. Well located for shopping, restaurants and other experiences We had an excellent 3 day stay and would recommend the Red Lion to others

Surprisingly shabby for $200 a night. The hotel room was fine except for minor needed repairs, but the restaurant bar on site was derelict. The furniture was falling apart, the walls needed painting, there were lights that looked like they hadn’t been dusted or plugged in for years. Lots of pool tables.

Location was good. It would have been better if it had its own breakfast facility, plus do room cleanup (even if it weren't Day 3 of check-in).

Excellent location for getting around and nice staff

location was good but not well maintained and hotel room to parking access was very far.

Clean. Convenient. Good service.

Good location and very friendly staff. Will come back!

When I alerted the reception staff that the room toaster was broken and possibly a fire hazard, it took only one reminder later in the day to have it replaced with a brand new one.

Great but I hope there were water fountains

Clean room and staff was also good !
