We stayed here for 1 night during the first half of May. Our stay was in the lodge building which is across from the main building/lobby. The room was good size, well maintained and very clean although somewhat dark even with the curtains open. It was good to have 2 armchairs provided in the room. The hotel adjoins a Smitty's... More

We spent a night here last week. Check in and check out were smooth, staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, and very clean. Be sure you ask for the discount in the restaurant. We will definitely stay here again. More

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.
