We didn't have high expectations when we went to the Red Lion, but it was clean and well kept for an older hotel. The pleasant surprise was how close it was to Uptown mall, which was lovely. It wasn't fancy, but the staff were kind and helpful and the room was clean. It was a five minute drive to downtown... More

We just stayed there this past weekend with my two young children as a three star Priceline deal. If you like stained furniture in your room, hookers standing out front, a liquor store onsite and the sounds of loud parties with hookers all night then this is the place for you. The worst hotel we have ever stayed in. We... More

The hotel looks to have recently be remodeled but on a very limited budget. The bathroom makeup mirror was hanging off the wall with 1 screw and the bathroom door handle almost... More

We had a late arriving flight to Victoria, therefore I went with a cheap hotel as we were only sleeping for the one night. The Red Lion Inn was adequate for the price, nothing really fancy and it was on our way out to Tofino. The room was listed as non smoking, yet that is the first thing that we... More

We stayed in a one bedroom suite which was great. Good furnishings, kitchenette and all at a good price. Although it seems to be out in a less salubrious area of Victoria it turned out to be not so bad. A car is a good option. Walmart, Forever21, H&M are about a 3 minute walk away. Subway is about 100... More

We had a room with 2 queen beds, and a small kitchen which had a 2 ring hotplate, microwave, fridge, toaster and coffee maker, as well as a few pots and pans, and plates, cups and cutlery for two. They also had an on site laundry. We found... More

Great value, beautiful furniture, staff are great and helpful, location is good very close to the downtown, mall and groceries. The cons that it has liquor store and club inside the hotel, and I was informed in the second nigh that because I got the weekly rate so the cleaning service will be twice a week only.

Right from Chris on the front desk to the quaintness of the rooms it is a great experience. Diplomacy and professionalism gives me great comfort as Chris the front desk person asks all the right questions to be sure all my needs are met. The quaint little room is not a five star hotel however very clean and nicely done... More

The maids steal from rooms. Hotel service manager is extremely rude. Guests were also smoking weed in the hotel with no implications. Not family friendly, and not recommended. My overall stay at the hotel was ok, until I left and found some expensive items missing from my bags.
