Will Not Stay Again

Pictures on the web are deceiving! First, when we arrived, we were delayed after checking in earlier the same day with another clerk, and put in a room ($*** per night) that had a chipped tub that was so cheaply repaired you could still see the chip. Curtains in the room were soiled/stained. The airplanes landing and taking off in the morning, which we were not warned about kept my mother awake and the surrounding occupants were noisy throughout the night and at 6:00 a.m. every morning. Second, there were no people of color in sight and the feeling of resentment was displayed by many staff members, which was picked up on even though all the while they waited on us, but you could still feel the under current of resentment for who they thought we were and/or about. The toilet in the room gurgled throughout the day and night as well. The view from the room was spectacular, but when I asked for a room for a light sleeper, we were put on a floor that did not accommodate that at all.

My husband and I stayed at the Coast Harborside for a weekend getaway. The hotel was very nice. The room was clean and decent sized and the staff was superb. We had a top floor room with a harbor view and sat on the balcony watching the water taxis scoot around the harbor and the pontoon planes take-off and land. The lounge has a nice view and good food. Our server the first morning was full of helpfull tips and recomendations. There is a Jazz club across the street...we did not go there but it seemed really interesting and plan to go the next time we are in Victoria.
The hotel is a short walk from the Port Angeles, WA ferry terminal so if you come by ferry you don't need a car.
Great Hotel

I spent a lot of time researching the hotels in Victoria because they all are expensive. We don't spend much time in the room as we love to explore new areas. From the map the hotel looked like it was a bit of a walk from the ferry but it was really only a few blocks. The hotel is right on the water overlooking the harbor with many boats. Sea planes take off (they don't make any noise to complain about!) The area is beautiful. Our room was a harborfront room with a queen bed that was very confortable. The room was spotless and the bathroom updated. The pool, hot tub and sauna are all very nice - we used them on a rainy afternoon. The restaurant is a bit expensive but the food was very good. We spent more time in town (go to the Irish Times bar!!!) great food and music. The best thing we did was rent a scooter for 24 hours which we drove all over the place. It was our 24 wedding anniversary and we had a Blast! The best part....the hotel told me that didn't have any more water front rooms but Travelocity said they had one so I booked it there and even got a gas card! Great hotel - great city. Visited the Empress - met someone who paid $$$/nt and said it was old and not worth it.
Relaxation from the busy pace of Los Angeles

I was looking for a low-priced luxury hotel and found the Harbourside Hotel to more than meet my expectations. Location is excellent if you want a beautiful and romantic view overlooking the harbour (right on the water) and extremely clean and well maintained rooms (no bathroom rot etc.). Room termperature was perfect with quiet central fan without me needing to adjust thermostat. Hotel is in a quiet and safe neighborhood, within 10-minutes walking time to the harbor sights and 15-minutes to downtown. Hotel provided a free shuttle service to anywhere you wanted to go downtown. My only less than satisfactory experiences were too much chlorine in the spa, and the fitness center could use more free-weights to supplement its universal weight machine. I would highly recommend this clean, modern, and friendly staffed hotel to visitors of Victoria.
Family jaunt to Victoria

Even though we're fairly local, we thought it would be fun to show the kids Victoria. The hotel is in a great location, great views, clean, new, small enough that there are no long treks with luggage. Staff is a little unfriendly, but efficient. I had my small dog, and she was welcomed. My husband and I thought we'd have a nice dinner in the Blue Crab while the kids ate pizza in the room. I've never experienced such amateurish, terrible service in a restaurant of a caliber that this restaurant pretended to be. Worcesteshire sauce was delivered in the place of soy sauc, whith no humble explantion or apology. Menu items were not suggested or sold, just "taken." My advice: stay at the hotel but dine elsewhere.
