Priceline Hotel: Victoria, BC help

[janet]

Well, I struck out at 110, for July 12-14th. I have to wait for my next rebid. I was just looking to see what my options are. I must have some place, and I have young kids, so it can't be scary!

What sort of price/quality ratio are you looking for? I've been to a couple of the Travellers Inns and they were fine, but not as centrally located as the Marriott or Empress (and obviously not 4* hotels either). But certain rooms and Travellers Inns do have two kingsize beds, which might be useful for your family.

I would recommend either the 1850 Douglas or the 1961 Douglas as the most convenient.

I also like Paul's Motor Inn, although the typical rooms have two double beds, not king beds.

Of course these are all 1* or 2* recommendations, but I found them perfectly adequate.

WillTravel, I think Paul's is not a bad choice either, as long as people don't expect any hotel amenities or water views. They are sold out for some dates, though (although available for these ones). Their rates are pretty good - about $75 US.

But Traveller's Inn rates this summer are from $120 to $140 Cdn ($96 to $111 USD) for their downtown properties (for rooms with 2 beds), which I think is awfully high!

Personally, I would rather bid the same or a bit more and try for a 4* like the Marriott (although you will have to pay about $10 US for parking at the Marriott).

Oh definitely that is quite expensive for Travellers Inn. I'd rather get the Marriott too. I always tend to forget how high summer prices are in Victoria.
