Pacific Rim College

Right on the harbor, walking distance to just about anything you could name, the Empress, Chinatown, the Harbir Walk, the shops on Government Street. Very Comfortable suite, convenient, spacious and well equipped kitchen. Balcony was amazing, the view at night mesmerizing. View was fantastic, even a visiting seagull, who we refrained from feeding, much to his disappointment. Beds were very comfortable and the floor to ceiling windows fantastic. Really one of our best stays in. Victoria. Thank you!

The spa and treatments are very high quality! Alpina Restaurant was great but expensive to have all your meals in. I didn’t like having to call shuttle for every spa, meal or other area too far to walk from rooms. Staff came quick but still would rather have everything all in one place. Lots of stairs even in some rooms so those who find stairs difficult shouldn’t stay here Pool not impressive. No hot tub but some rooms have a jacuzzi bath tub.

Overall we enjoyed our stay, the suite was big and well equipped with everything we needed. The Murphy bed was a nice improvement over a pullout couch, so that was great. My biggest complaint is that when I booked it said I would get a second bedroom with two twins, but upon check in we learned it had a queen bed - the twins were a big deciding factor for us because we had three boys along and they didn't want to share beds. My second complaint is that we had to pay extra for wifi, it was spotty, and it cost more if you wanted more than 2 devices connected. The third complaint is that the outdoor pool was pretty cold, and the hottub was definitely not HOT, and only chest deep.. I figured if it was open in November it would be heated to a more enjoyable temp.. that wasn't the case. Regardless my kids did enjoy it, but for shorter periods. The overall cost was good, and the location on the water was nice, but it is a pretty far walk from downtown, so we did need to drive more than I anticipated.
