I've wanted to write in because before I went to the Cherry Tree Inn, I read these reviews online and the latest one 'Epic Fail' really scared me about staying at this place. Well I had a triathlon at Elk Lake, so it was the closest hotel and cheapest to stay at and wanted to take the risk!

Well, I was pleasantly surprised! The owners are so warm and welcoming and the room was adorable! I was expecting outdated and moldy, but I found it to be pleasant and updated! The room was simple, the location was quiet, it was perfect! We even had a little outdoor seating area. The only one thing that wasn't great was the shower is very small but manageable.

When I needed coffee, she brought coffee. When I needed silverware, she brought it too. Everything I asked for, she provided and always with a smile. We were even able to check out late because I had my triathlon and couldn't get back in time. They were very accommodating.

So if you want to board simply, with good service and for a great price near Victoria, this is your place to go!

Do not stay here. There is mold every place you can think of as well as stains. The fire alarm didn't even work when we tested it. Definetly scummy and not worth 90 bucks.

Left it late to book accommodation on our tour of Vancouver Island and the Cherry Tree Inn came up on an internet search. Had little option but to book a 2 bedroomed suite and was very disappointed with quality given the price we were charged. Very shabby and in need of renovation. Look elsewhere.

We stayed here for one night while visiting Victoria. The room was clean, but very basic. (small TV but no phone in room)
Unfortunately, it seems the property hasn't been kept up very well recently. (Don't expect it to look like the pictures on the website)
The location is good.... close to Butchart gardens, and about half way between the Swartz Bay ferry terminal and downtown Victoria.
