We usually do not like to stay at Best Westerns, because of previous bad experiences with Best Western franchise’s hotels/motels. Stayed overnight here for we needed to catch the ferry to Vancouver next morning (this motel is only minutes away from the BC Ferries Terminal). The room was large, clean, and quite comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. More

We recently travelled to Victoria for a visit to Butchart Garden and the Victoria harbour area. We stayed at the Emerald Isle which was very convenient for our visit to the Gardens. The room was very nice and the hotel staff were very friendly. They have an on site restaurant with a family friendly menu. Overall very wonderful. More

I stayed here at the end of the summer for a conference being held at the nearby Mary Winspear Centre. With over 300 delegates, we pretty much flooded this quiet little town, but they seemed to take it in stride. Every part of my Emerald Isle human experience was outstanding, from the initial contact via phone and then email, to... More

I WISH I had stayed here longer. The room was lovely, the location seemed perfect. Unfortunately, this was just a resting spot after a long day of work and before an early morning flight out. I would highly recommend a longer stay here. It is within walking distance of shops, restaurants, the beautiful water views. The front desk staff is... More

Located on the main strip in Sidney, minutes away from the BC Ferries terminal and even closer from Victoria airport. Also accessible by public transit. Clean, well maintained, large rooms. Fridge, microwave. Restaurants and supermarket within walking distance. About a 30 min. drive to downtown Victoria (depending on traffic). No pool; just a small jacuzzi (clean). Of note though is...
