A wonderful Hotel. We stayed there for 2 nights. The staff was wonderful. The rooms were large, very comfortable and very clean. It is very convenient to Sidney, the ferries, and Butchart Gardens. About 6 or 7 minutes to Sidney. The hotel is right next to the highway, but road noise is not an issue. It was actually a very... more

I spent one night at the Quality Inn Waddling Dog mid-week on business. I arrived just after 5:00 pm and the front desk agent greeted me and took my reservation. Then "John", the real waddling dog (Bassett Hound) came out from behind the desk and waddled over to say hello! So adorable. Check-in was quick and easy and the front... more

I was very surprised and pleased to find that the continental breakfast was served at 6 a.m. on a holiday Sunday. Overall, the hotel is a bit far out of town, but convenient to Butchart Gardens and other... more

This feels like a giant house with a "pub" downstairs that served nightly specials at VERY affordable rates. It's has a library with a fireplace and a piano. John the dog would come out and see what you're doing and... more

I wish the person working the front desk would have let him come out into the lobby, as I was really missing my dog. One thing I noticed that was not in other posts is the room air conditioning. All... more

This is truly a rare find... olde English, tudor style, warm ambiance complete with John III, the dog. This place redefines hotel comfort and reminds me of days gone by, when weary travelers came be horse and stagecoach. The cozy fire in the library is so relaxing, you won't want to go to your room. And when you do, you... more

My fiancee and I stayed at the hotel last night and it truly was a pleasure! John the resident Bassett Hound runs a great little hotel here with his owners. Beautiful rooms - great breakfast in a wonderful library with a fireplace and quiet for a hotel right next to the highway. Close to the airport (5 minutes without traffic).... more
