Red Lion Inn And Suites

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 24 Oct 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

The Red Lion is close to several bus lines and a 10 minute ride to the tourist area of Victoria. The rooms are smaller than average, but reasonably comfortable. The bar under the hotel went unexplored this trip, but the parking lot got a bit loud for a few minutes around closing time, but hotel security was on top of it without being asked. The liquor store in the building (but not in the hotel, strange setup) was an interesting if not welcome touch. All in all, a decent hotel at a great price. I will be back.

Positives: Inexpensive, close to bus lines, and was straight shot to the bay.

Negatives: Room was smallish, but was comfy.

I was not happy with the hotel. I did not feel safe during my stay in leaving the hotel.

Positives: Staff was friendly and helpful.

Negatives: Location and facilities that were near the hotel.

I found the room to be very satisfactory, a little further from the inner harbor than I anticipated, but overall for our short stay it was fine.

Positives: Easy to locate, very clean, good choice of facilities nearby.

Negatives: NA.

Pool was outdoor and not really heated. Hey but all in all for the price I would stay there again.

Positives: For the price was great value.

Negatives: Room was small for 3. Pool too cold.

It's a lot better and less expensive than Super 8 Motel.

Positives: I like the hotel because it has a kitchenette which is very useful for travelers.

Negatives: It should have a continental breakfast.

There's a strip club attached and the people around the hotel were less than desirable. I felt my vehicle was unsafe in the parking lot, the noise went on into the wee hours of the night in the hotel and outside my window (earplugs required for sleeping), when I pulled out the hide-a-bed a decent amount of dirt fell out of it. Not a nice stay. Small, cramped room suitable for no more than two people.

Positives: Reasonable close to downtown.

Negatives: Noisy with a strip club attached. Dirty.

Overall, not a bad place. Probably convenient for business travelers as not right in the city but with an attached night club, it can get loud at night. Free parking is a plus and 5 minutes by car to downtown.

Positives: Free parking, fridge.

Negatives: Nightclub on premises. Way lower quality than the Seattle Red Lion.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel; our room was very nice and clean. The staff at the front desk was very helpful. The hotel has a very nice appearance.

Positives: The rooms were nice and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Negatives: The hotel sign was tricky to see from the road; we passed the hotel before discovering its location.

This is good one for someone who is looking for a one-stop hotel. The amenities include a restaurant, lounge, pool & pub. I wouldn't recommend this for families. This is a local hot spot for adult entertainment. There are exotic dancers performing daily, on a regular basis.

Positives: Friendly staff, clean room & good service.

Negatives: The location - there's a lot of traffic.

The room was quite small, with 2 queen beds. However, the bathroom was beautiful. The walls were all covered in marble, and the bath was a nice size with a good shower. There was a hairdryer and nice soap and shampoo. The room had a fridge and microwave as well as lots of TV channels. The only problem was that there was a dripping noise all night because something was wrong with the toilet. Also, we were woken up at 6:30 am by screaming kids next door, which went on for quite a while.

Positives: Very helpful and friendly staff who went out of their way to be of assistance.

Negatives: The room was quite small.

Bad, very bad! I intend to submit a letter to the Red Lion Corp and inform them of the situation.

Positives: Nice, clean.

Negatives: Full of druggies, no way to get in, nowhere to park, and outlaws everywhere in the halls!

Looks from the outside like an absolute disaster, but rooms were quiet, clean, and quite large.

Positives: Right on main bus route.

Negatives: Very odd entrance way.

Not for super luxurious travelers, but quite comfortable. If you're willing to take the bus or drive, great location. Only a few minutes from the harbor.

Positives: Very clean and comfortable.

Negatives: Walls a little thin, can hear any noise in hallway.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 16 May 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

Probably good for business travelers, but not so good for tourists as it is a long walk to the downtown area.

Positives: Very courteous personnel at front desk.

Negatives: We had asked for a room with two beds.

My family stayed at this hotel during Easter weekend. It is a smaller Red Lion Hotel; however, it is very clean, quiet and comfortable. The wing we stayed did not appear brand new to me, but very well maintained. All furniture and amenities are quite modern and up to date. Staffs are very friendly, they took time to explain everything we would like to know. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Vancouver Island.

Positives: Clean, quiet, comfortable, modern amenities, good value!

Negatives: Not walking distance to the harbor.

The hotel, while on the main street of downtown Victoria, is too far from the center of the city to be convenient for those wishing to dine on the wharf or sightsee. It is an older establishment without the bells and whistles expected of a three-star hotel. I was very disappointed, and only the friendly desk clerk kept me from complaining and moving elsewhere.

Positives: The staff was friendly and gracious.

Negatives: Location. And the quality was not what I expected.

This is a clean and attractive motel with pleasant and attentive staff. It is very convenient to downtown Victoria and other points of interest.

Positives: Clean rooms and convenient parking.

Negatives: N/A.
