Location is good for me, since it's near the relatives, but others might find it far from downtown or the university. It is by the Commonwealth pool. The staff is nice, restaurant not bad but basic. Accommodated 14 of us. More

I've stayed at Howard Johnson Hotel and Suites near Elk Lake on two occasions in the past few weeks. On both stays I was arriving late. The front desk staff were pleasant and courteous without being plastic. Each time my bed was wonderfully comfortable, the room was quiet and much to my surprise the little basket of tea & coffee...

Spent 2 working weeks here, and found the stay to be very agreeable. Bed fine. Temperature fine. Sink, fridge & uWave worked. Hotel restaurant was pretty good. You will want to plan to eat out ~4/7 nights for variety. In-room desk was a little high for extended computing sessions. Wireless internet was reliable 89% of the time. (Lots of Skype... More

The Howard Johnson on Elk Lake Drive in Victoria, in my opinion, can't be beat! We've been staying there during our yearly vacation to BC for around 7 years in a row, and are continually impressed with everything there! To start off, it's location is very nice. It is situated right next to Beaver and Elk lake parks, and is... More

Spent two nights here while visiting family over Christmas. First, let me say that the staff were incredibly friendly. Our first night there we were in a room at the front of the hotel. We did not sleep well it was too noisy due to the traffic from the highway. We also found the beds a bit saggy. We requested... More

The hotel is on the edge of Victoria. It is a quiet location that seems safe. There is underground parking which is great in rainy weather. The rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable. Staff were friendly and a problem with our shower curtain was attended to very quickly. I would stay here again because I loved the location.... More

If you're planning to stay in Victoria, beware that unless you are staying right downtown, there are many rundown ugly hotels on the outskirts.
