Pretty good hotel for the price we paid!
It’s a nice small hotel located just about 7-10 minutes
of driving from downtown. The service is pretty good and
the rooms are decent. When we go next time this hotel
will be number one in our list. Of course I recommend
this place to my friends.

good value for the money
This hotel is dated but it was clean and staff were
friendly. The location was great and it was easy to get
downtown and to the airport. Watch the pool -- it was
dirty!

The cost was great and the rooms were clean. I wish the
pool was a little more heated. It was a great place to
stay. I'd recommend it. Rooms were clean and there was
no smell of smoke. You can't ask for better for this
cost.

My experience with this hotel was not good. I booked
kitchenette (mini suite) with all cooking amenities. But
quality of the available items were very poor. Utensils
quality were very bad and used (looks like very old).
Coffee maker was also broken (new one cost in the market
is 15 bucks..). In the room a very old TV was there,
which has no jack point (3 cable
points..red..yello..white) to connect your personal DVD
player. In my life I have not seen any TV without any
dvd player hook up point. I don’t know how this hotel
got this TV.

HoJo, Victoria City Center, truly do provide you with a
"home away from home". My wife and myself continue to
return here, (when in Victoria) because everyone on
staff continues to extend a feeling of warmth,
friendliness and service. Hats off to all!

I stayed here with my wife when we moved to Victoria for
an extended stay. After a dismal night in the Ramada up
the road, we decided to cancel our reservation there and
go to the Hojo. The front desk staff was wonderful, our
room was large enough that my wife and I didn't kill
each other in the three weeks we lived in a single room
and the kitchen was great for when we got tired of
eating out.
Our every need was catered to by the expert staff who
genuinely cared about the appearance of their hotel. As
other reviews did mention, its not the nicest looking
place on the outside, but it does make a very
comfortable home away from home.
If I only had one gripe, the bar downstairs gets a bit
rowdy on the weekend.

Our stay at the Howard Johnson Hotel was pretty good. We
stayed for a 5 days. The girl at the front desk was very
helpful. The only issue maybe was that the room smelled
a little like Bengay. The room also was super hot when
we first came in, but after asking the front desk we
figured out how to adjust the heater. And after the
first night the temperature was fine. The pool was
decent and the sauna was good too! The location was
convenient to where we needed to go everyday. All in all
it was a decent place to stay

The Kitchen suite was very functional and allowed me to
save a lot of money by eating groceries. The location
was very nice to me. The gorge area has a lot of modern
condos and walk/run/bike trails with excellent water
views. To save on parking i took the bus that
conveniently stops almost right out in front and goes
direct to downtown. I never used the swimming pool
facilities so i cannot comment. The staff were amiable
and helpful.

We have spent a few night at this hotel . The rooms were
clean, and comfortable. The staff helpful. It's not the
Ritz. For the money you pay, its very comfortable, and
friendly. Bus service to town almost outside the door.
It's a little out of the way, but close enough to be
able to get to most places. We couldn't ever figure out
if there was a continental breakfast. At no point was it
clear. |
