Holiday Inn Victoria - Elk Lake By Ihg, Saanich

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was great for relaxing by the pool and enjoying the view, but it only had one bed and an uncomfortable sofabed. The location was ideal for sightseeing and away from busy traffic, but it was a bit far from the city center. The service was accommodating and friendly, but there were noise issues early in the morning. The dining was excellent, but the bar atmosphere was lacking. The hotel facilities were clean and modern.

I arrived at the hotel in a makeshift lobby due to renovations, but my room in the adjacent building exceeded my expectations. The large room had separate living and sleeping areas, each with its own TV, and a nice patio door for added convenience. The service, despite the challenges, was always polite and professional, especially when I arrived late at night. The location was perfect for my swim competition nearby, offering easy access to both downtown and the ferry terminal. The dining options were limited but adequate, and the on-site bar was a nice touch. Overall, a good stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel offers spacious, comfortable rooms but lacked heating upon arrival. The convenience of walking out to the pool from the room is a plus. The service was very helpful and reassuring, making it a recommended place to stay. The location is great for various activities and not far from downtown. The dining experience was tasty, but not very diverse. Overall, a good value for money stay.

The hotel had a lovely view of the pool and distant mountains from the room, which was clean except for a noticeable stain in the corner. The patio door was a nice touch. The service was friendly and accommodating, even in the middle of the night. The location was very convenient for our triathlon event and exploring Victoria. The dining experience was good, but the drinks were a bit limited in quantity. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel offers large and comfortable rooms with all the desired features, but it can feel crowded at times. The service is very friendly and helpful, though early morning noise disturbance was a drawback. The location is excellent, close to key points of interest, but with some minor inconveniences. The dining experience is great but may lack atmosphere depending on the timing. Overall, a solid choice with notable strengths and a few areas for improvement.
