“Great stay when you're in town to play!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I stayed here with a group of friends last weekend and had a great experience. Friendly staff, nice rooms and the central location was terrific. The free parking and WIFI was a nice touch and you're within walking distance of restaurants and shopping at the mall near by. It's an inexpensive cab ride to downtown if enjoying the nightlife is on the agenda!! The beds were very comfortable and the flat screen televisions are a nice upgrade.

“Looked after us!”

We stayed at this hotel last week and received the best treatment and service from the staff/manager. Not only was it snowing most of the time but we were experiencing issues with our vehicle that were ruining our trip. The staff/manager went way above and beyond the call of duty to assist us to make it possible for us to get our vehicle back home. We have stayed at this hotel many times when it was the Travellers Inn but this was our first since it became the Arbutus Inn. We found the staff to be extremely helpful, the flat screens were very nice and the new mattresses were very comfortable.

Hello. Thank you for your review and kind words. It was our pleasure to help out when things do not go as planned. Having car trouble can really make a stressfull trip and we were glad to help out however we could. It was great having you stay at the hotel. We look forward to seeing you as our guest again in the future.

I stayed here last week when the Malahat was closed. The room was so cute and really comfy! Super modern with a flat screen TV and the bedding was really high end. The front desk were really helpful and the free parking and free WIFI was a plus! I would stay here again for sure especially when I come back for Christmas shopping in Victoria!

“"East or West This Place is Best"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

Hello Vacationers,

We want to share our nice experiece of our stay at this location. We went to Victoria for a recreational trip. We were not sure where to stay as this was our first trip to West. We landed in Victoria and read the nice advertisement about Manager's special and monthly rates.

I called and at the other end nice voice of Anne greated me. I asked about the monthly rate and she offered me a rate that was reasonable and well within our means. The suite offered to us was wonderful with a King size and double bed. The suite was well equipped with all the amenities and clean. Every thing provided was well maintained.

Front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful. Any time you need help for something, it is at your door in a minute.

The house keeping staff is neat and clean and do beautiful clean up job.

All employees at this location are polite, helpful and cheerful

Claudio, Manager, at this location deserves special appreciation. He is a cheerful and helpful. Nice servive compelled us to overstay. The six week period just flew beauifully.

We strongly recommend this place a " Nice home away from home"

Good luck to all employees at this location.
