Hotel berhampiran Aurea Fashion Boutique & Essential Luxuries, Victoria

1.攜程給的訊息有誤，標註的是有泳池的，所以我才選了這個酒店，但實際我們辦理入住的時候是沒有開的，很失望，後來前台又説可以借隔壁的某酒店要給我們講解用法，但是英文理解起來很麻煩，還需要出酒店，由於孩子很小不想折騰，我們就拒絕了。 2.酒店不算很新，收取了21加幣的停車費，我們到了停車場看到機子有寫12加幣，我們還打電話問了前台為啥我們是21加幣，然後也是英語沒有聽太懂，大概意思是12加幣是給訪問顧客的，我們是住店的，這個存疑吧，畢竟也沒搞懂原因。 3.第二晚我們換到了隔壁的大使館酒店，感覺起來設施新舊差異不大，但是價格降了50%，而且提供了免費停車場和第二天的免費早餐，這裏還要提一下攜程給的消息又不準，因為現實沒有微波爐，而我們住下來大使館酒店是提供了微波爐的，小驚喜吧。

It's a very nice hotel. The location is excellent with the legislation building outside. The staff is helpful. Breakfast is nice, though variety is just ok. Kitchen provision is a very nice option which save a lot for dinner.

Family great location close to Parliament House and inner harbour. Staff are attentive and accommodating. The kitchen is very well equipped, we can enjoy a homemade Christmas dinner in the suite, and had a great time in the indoor pool and hot tub, and the games room when everywhere is closed,homey hotel!

房間很乾凈，在著名的比肯尼公園對過，離得議會大廈和碼頭很近，位置非常好，走路去市中心和超市都方便，離得居民區很近，走路15分鐘可到一號公路界碑處，可以去海灘玩。坐公交也非常方便。最大亮點是廚房配備齊全，可以去超市採購食材做飯。

LOVED my stay here. A hidden gem in Victoria. It’s in James Bay (just on the cusp of downtown). I had a one bedroom queen suite, with an incredible view of the parliament buildings and downtown. I opened all of the blinds because I loved the view of the city scape at night. My room was spacious, clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The soaker tub was perfect after a long day on the road. The bathroom was huge. Robes and slippers are always a nice touch. The bed was comfortable and there was no noise from other units or from outside. The hotel is tucked away in a residential area. The front desk agent was very friendly upon arrival. Check in was a breeze. Secure underground parking was perfect. 10/10 will stay here again.

Great place to stay at a fantastic price! Very clean, walking distance to downtown, and the staff are awesome. The beds are comfortable, and there’s some great restaurants on the same block. Claudio, the manager, is the man! Would definitely recommend.

I'll start with the good..... free parking, hot water, power shower, daily fresh towels & coffee, iron & ironing board, good staff, microwave, kettle, Keurig, fridge. Our room was OK. However, there is no elevator. The bed creaked every time you moved, the springs were noisy & when one rolled over, the other followed suit, you both rolled together it needs a new mattress & base. The pillows were lumpy and had no substance to them even when you used two. The curtains were threadbare & paint peeling off the walls. No safe in the room. Storage & hangers are minimal. Black grout in between the tiles on the floor (needs a scrub with some grout cleaner). This doesn’t mean it wasn't cleaned as there was no hair in the sink or bath from previous occupants that we saw room was cleaned daily with fresh towels. The sink was not in the bathroom but in the bedroom. Pool & sauna.....pool was warm, but it needs a clean - there were live bugs in the pool we were in it approximately 10 minutes before we got out as we were grosses out, you could not see the bottom it was cloudy. The saunas are separate, one male & one female with change room facilities we didn't use them we also didn't use the fitness room. Access to the pool/sauna/fitness room, you have to go outside, walk the path , and then re-enter the building. The on-site dining....The Loft great staff with good pub food salt n pepper pork bites were very the kitchen staff worked very hard. Live music most nights but not disturbed by it. The Coachman, we had 1 breakfast there, and it wasn't great. Apparently, the chef was Grumpy that day .... maybe that's why it wasn't great? Waitress was great. All in all staff, were great, shower was powerful & hot, bed was not comfy we won't stay here again when we visit next.

The hotel in general was alright. Nothing too special or fancy. There was a good restaurant at the base called Bin 4. What makes this hotel not great is that from the time that we were there (3 nights), 4 car windows were smashed and broken into including our own car. There was nothing in the vehicle. It seemed just to happen for the purpose of breaking something. The worst part is the day if we had to do a 7 hour drive home taking the ferry and the Coquihalla. The hotel says there is 24/7 security and people at the hotel which just doesn’t make sense for so many vehicles being broken into. Of course the hotel isn’t ‘responsible’. May not be the place you want to stay and certainly don’t leave anything in your car.

At first glance the hotel is appealing and welcoming. They may be experiencing a lack in staffing as very evident when checking in to be stuck in a very long line with 2 employees only at the desk for 3pm check in time. Of my 30 friends all attending the same NYE event, none got their rooms on time. I waiting until 4:30 pm for mine putting me behind and lost time to use any amenties ie pool etc., or for preparing for a 6pm start for the party with the appetizers. Appetizers were very limited as the buffett also was. very basic food, ie. a salad bun basket, pasta dish, potato surprise, and an overcooked beef hip at the end of the table. Desserts were very limited also. The bar was also understaff for the numbers attending. Very long lineups and $9 a drink was certainly too steep. Sure didn't feel like the $85 plus tax tickets worth. The saving grace for this event was the fantastic band and terrific crowd I was with to ring in the new year.

Auf unserer Kanda-Rundreise haben wir ein paar Tage im Brentwood Bay Resort verbracht. Gebucht haben wir eine Ocean Suite. Das Personal war wirklich sehr freundlich, das Zimmer mega schön, alles sauber, die Betten bequem, vor allem das Bad mit der Wanne „halb im Zimmer“ echt schön und mal was anderes. Wir haben abends im Pub gegessen und das Essen war lecker :) Einen Pool gibt es auch. Grundsätzlich ja ok, aber die Lage von diesem war für uns persönlich ein großer Nachteil. Die Zimmer mit Balkonen liegen quasi direkt am Pool und sind somit einsehbar. Alle können einem beim abendlichen „draußensitzen“ zugucken, ebenso schräg vom Restaurant aus. Die Lautstärke ist dementsprechend. Als wir da waren (unter der Woche), war es nicht super voll und demnach aushaltbar. Bei voll besetztem Pool und gut besuchtem Pub (zB am Wochenende) wird das wohl anders sein. Wir haben versucht, das Zimmer zu tauschen (was leider nicht möglich war) und haben uns tatsächlich etwas in unserer Privatsphäre gestört gefühlt. Davon abgesehen haben wir unseren Aufenthalt aber sehr genossen!
