John Dean Provincial Park

The building itself seemed a little dated but updated and well maintained. Our room was clean, however, we discovered that one of the beds had a broken bed frame, which was resolved asap by proving us with a new (upgraded) room. Easy access to downtown Victoria (~10min drive). Overall a positive experience.

Our room was stunning, with wood panelling from floor to ceiling. It was very spacious, and the bathroom had a clawfoot soaker tub and separate ultramodern shower. Although we were in a 19th century farmhouse, it was very thoughtfully renovated, complete with central AC, which was a nice touch. The continental breakfast was fairly simple but decent, with many healthy options such as fresh fruit and vegetables, yogurt, bread, cheese, and yogurt. The chandelier lighting in the bedroom was very dim, which made it hard to see in the evenings. While the bedside lamps were extremely bright, they didn't make up for the dim surroundings. Also, it would be good to leave a small bottle of milk and plant milk in the shared fridge once breakfast is over so that guests can add that to their tea or coffee during the rest of the day or evening. Apart from that, we had a wonderful stay. It was very quiet, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back again in the future.

Fairmont Gold lounge was wonderful for food and Bev.
