Gulf Islands hotel rooms a the Independent

"For us it was a total revelation.We stay in Victoria several times every year even though the cost is becoming prohibitive. We have stayed in many of the larger and better known properties but the pool area, the bright lobby , the friendly staff and the great restaurant and lounge areas made our stay most enjoyable and we even invited friends over for a great breakfast on the day we left. And I must mention the great parking lot. Thank you for what we consider a 5 star stay!! Greg Peppler "

"We had such a great time staying here. The hotel’s exterior is obviously breathtaking and they spare no expense for the flowers and beauty as you walk up. The lobby is equally breathtaking. We stayed in 2 different rooms by choice in different sections. The history of this hotel is described on the walls from the parking garage, but it is clear as you walk through the halls. Despite its age, the hotel is beautifully done with soft, clean beds, and superior service. The pool was one of our favorite parts as well which was exceptionally clean. Definitely staying here again! Only complaint, which can’t be changed given the age of the hotel, is outside noise. Above the 4th floor and closer to parliament, we didn’t hear anything. But on the 4th floor and on the stores/restaurants side, you can hear almost all the street noise. Wouldn’t deter us from going back though. "
