I like the location of the hotel. There’s a mall nearby in walking distance. And also it’s easy to access downtown area by bus or walk.
I travel up to 25 weeks per year. The layout of the hotel was nice but it was dirty and completely disgusting. There were human hairs throughout the bathroom and kitchenette areas. Along with dried food stuck to numerous silverware and plates. There was also human hairs in and around the drying rack for plates. The kitchen sponge in the unit looked to be years old and was not clean at all. There was scraps and crumbs under furniture also. I felt like I had to clean the entire place, which I did, in order to stay there. Had there been vacancies available at other hotels, I surely would have left.
The drawback was it's rather far from the airport (half hour car ride).
We had a very pleasant, quiet, and uneventful stay.
a somewhat older property, close to downtown, ample parking sometimes a bit obstructed by all the rental car agency vehicles around. Interesting ambience and décor. Staff very nice, room clean and comfortable if just a bit cramped, good linens and pillows. Wi fi worked well, as did the air conditioning (warm weekend in Victoria). At the price, I"d definitely stay there again. Oh, no ironing board in the room, and we didn't ask for one, I imagine they have them if you want. Handy to have the microwave and good sized mini frig in the room, the little freezer was as useless as they always are, with a lot of ice. The coffee singles were a hit.
The hotel is basic and inexpensive but nothing special. The room was small with way too much large furniture for the room's size. The bath was tiny and the tub did not drain well while showering. However, the location is convenient...right on the bus line. The staff was very helpful.
I never stayed in the arbutus before I think in future reference I will stay again.
The room was very clean nice and quiet comfortable beds
Very nice motel. Bed linens were awesome. Nice having microwave and fridge in the room. The room was very clean.
Best thing about this motel is it was convenient to everything around the area. No free breakfast, swimming pool, gym...etc so if you don't need them this is a good deal. Room was rather small (had two double beds) with a huge TV cabinet/dresser that took up way too much space in the room. Had no where to lay out our suitcase, except the bed. Parking was an issue because they don't have enough spaces for cars so you might end up parking on the street if you go out to dinner. We had a room #111 and it seemed be pretty quiet with no street noise.
Not bad for $50 a night if you need somewhere to stay. It's quite a ways from downtown so you'll probably need to take a taxi unless you are willing to hoof it for over a mile. The staff at the hotel are really nice. The room was ok. The furniture was aged a bit, but the beds were fine. The shower knob was loose and eventually fell off but I was able to MacGyver it back on. Overall experience wasn't bad.
