I feel like I was duped which is never a good feeling for $400 / night. A suite, with too much furniture to pull out the couch bed, no utensils. Small and cramped would be an apt description of the suite rooms at this location. The door at the back didn't lock properly. The back door had access to all the other rooms back door joint patio and pool. The pool always seemed to be being cleaned whenever it was a good time for it to be in use. The room safe was locked when we needed to use it, and the front desk, couldnt help us unlock it right away and asked me to wait until he was ready to help us. Felt kind of like I was staying at a motel, but paying prices for a 2 bedroom penthouse. The patio railings wood is rotting, and i think this is a hazard as it might fall down 1 story if its not upgraded soon. The breakfast and service at the lakes restaurant was excellent, but aside from this, I think the hotel itself, needs an upgrade in clealiness, service, locks, pool, general cleanliness. I wouldn't stay here again or recommend this place to anyone.

Only thing I was disappointed with was the pull out couch . The mattress was totally brutal . If you are needing a place that supplies a comfortable pull out this is not a place I would recommend . I always have to sleep on the pullout because my wife can't sleep with me because of my snoring etc.

I put sign for cleaning service on my door & even talk to her to clean but she totally ignored us & I was in that room for 2 nights but no fresh towels & without cleaning. I even went to front desk on Friday morning & told a girl about this but nobody cares. I paid almost $900 for 2 Nights 👎👎👎

Everything was very good with the exception of very false and misleading advertising on Expedia when it came to the pool. The second photo of the facility on Expedia which comes up - even before the pictures of the rooms themselves - shows a large pool with waterslide which is actually not on the property and not part of the hotel. There is a caption below referring to it as “the pool” and describing it. The actual pool is, in fact, a small outdoor pool shown later on in the group of hotel pictures. I changed my booking from a downtown Victoria hotel specifically so my kids could have the use of the pool and waterslide pictured while I completed my triathlon. When I addressed this issue with management, I was told that the picture of the large pool is posted as a “point of interest” only. My phone was flashing red at night until I figured out how to clear 4 messages from it that were still on there from 4 months prior. Other than that, the staff are courteous and responsive, the free breakfast at the restaurant is very good and the room is clean - but if you think you are getting the big pool with waterside with the property, be forewarned.

Great Hotel, But Breakfast Experience Falls Short

The hotel itself is great, but the breakfast arrangement is not ideal. They provide coupons to use at Lakes Restaurant located in the same building. While the food is quite good, the customer service leaves much to be desired. The staff at the restaurant may be overwhelmed by the morning rush of hotel guests and they don’t even pretend to hide their frustration. As a result, you can end up feeling like an unwelcome guest, definitely not the experience you expect from an otherwise excellent hotel.
