This is definitely a historic Inn. Located 2 blocks behind the Parliament Buildings & within walking distance to the marina, downtown shopping, IMAX & the B.C.Museum.

Was pleasantly surprised at this lovely inn. Great walking location to the cute downtown districts of Victoria. Friendly and helpful front desk staff.

Lots of... More

The James Bay Inn isn't fancy or modern, but the rooms are clean, space is adequate, staff is friendly and with the location plus free parking and wifi, you can't beat the deal. Will be appreciated by anyone fond of quirky charm!
