Top Departure Bay Ferry Terminal Hotel Reviews

Best Western Dorchester Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beds need replacing as they are too soft. Wifi needs to be repaired as connection kept dropping"

Inn On Long Lake

10/10 Excellent

"We come here every year to visit my wife's sister who lives nearby. We are older folks from Victoria so we get the one bedroom suite, for comfort since we are here for several days to a week. Been here twice in the past 2 months. We are seasonned travellers. PROS: Lake view is terrific, we move the dining table in front of the window so we can look at the view when using it. The king bed is comfortable, the bathroom large and the shower large, the suite large, small kitchenette. Parking is fine. The grounds are nice, it all depends if you are new to the West Coast, we are not new here. The suite overall comfortable and reasonably priced. Good location, safe area. Close to shopping, grocery and Malls, but drive only. Not walkable. CONS: Few facilities. Breakfast is limited continental, we never use it. Not enough end tables in the living room, only one for 2 large couches, few lamps, not enough lights, quite dark at best of times. Biggest issue is no hooks in bathroom on walls or back of door for bathrobes or clothes/towels, how much can that cost? Another issue, no drink or snack machine in the lobby...they do sell a couple of snacks and a couple warm cans of pop....from what we observed. Did not ask if they have cold pop. It is an older property but in good shape. Staff is nice."
