I recently stayed at Island Travel Inn and, unfortunately, cannot recommend it. The property is old and poorly maintained. The room I stayed in was not clean, especially under the bed, where visible dust and dirt had clearly been neglected for some time. The lift felt unreliable; it moved slowly, creaked constantly, and gave the impression it could break down at any moment. Although I did not drive, I noticed that the surrounding environment felt unsafe. A number of homeless and mentally ill individuals were loitering just outside the inn and along the nearby streets. This created a sense of discomfort, especially at night. While the inn is located in downtown Victoria, the area around it did not feel secure or welcoming. In short, the hotel may offer a central location, but its poor hygiene standards, aged facilities, and unsettling surroundings made the stay unpleasant.
