Embassy Inn Hotel is very conveniently located downtown Victoria.
No need for a car as everything you need is walking distance, great breakfast included, friendly and helpful staff, nice lounge couch area to relax in lobby with games and puzzles, large rooms some with kitchenette.
My family’s favorite hotel for vacations! It’s a great hotel with friendly staff, beautiful views, and many tourist attractions within walking distance. Plenty of buses nearby, so it’s very convenient to get around. Very enjoyed the breakfast — the dining hall is spacious and classy.
The staff were excellent and very friendly. Laundry was a nice touch. The breakfast and the breakfast staff were excellent. Best of all was the location. Perfect for walking everywhere. Would stay here again.
Breakfast always excellent, fast internet. Beds could be replaced and parking fees $20 night for unsecured parking are unreasonable. Great location always clean
Our room had just been renovated and it looks like the place is getting all new carpets, paint, etc. Older hotel but once done will be well updated and the location is very good.
The location of this hotel is the best! It is a solid 3 star property . The room was very small but had 2 queens so there was little room to move.
Breakfast was good and not so good depending on what you selected. The selection was good.
