James Bay Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in James Bay, Victoria

"Great!! it was clean, very comfortable, the rooms were beautiful, and best of all, the staff puts you on a text thread, so whenever you need something or have a question, you can get your needs met quickly. They were very responsive and courteous."

"This place is nicer than the Fairmont."

"Easy to walk and very friendly helpful staff. "

"This property is near the Clipper ferry stop, which made it so convenient to drop off our bags after arriving, and pick up our stored bags when it was time to leave. It's also a short walk from Fisherman's Wharf (which was mostly shut down for the off season). Nevertheless, there are still many food options within a few minutes' walk. The condition of the hotel (interior, exterior, common spaces) was very grand, and it was lovely to come back to a roaring fire in the lobby and cold water in the dispensers. I enjoyed a quick exploration of the art and sculptures on display. I didn't try the hotel restaurant, Aura, but saw that it had excellent reviews. The hotel cafe, Duo, had interesting offerings. The pool and gym are a modest size and felt like an afterthought (may not be the best if you're a serious swimmer or workout fiend). I stayed in the old wing (Laurel), which has a very small balcony (enough standing room for 3-4 people) and enjoyed watching the ferries and water taxis going by. The room itself and its amenities were as expected, no complaints. The room has a small dorm-room sized fridge and no microwave, but you can use the microwave next to reception. Overall, I would stay here again. The 20-25 minute walk into downtown Victoria was great exercise, with plenty of interesting sights to look at along the way (harbor, Legislative Assembly, other hotels, restaurants)."

"Ok"

"Great place to stay in Victoria and convenient to walking around town and ocean trails. No need to drive from this location. Very satisfactory and friendly."
