Cowichan Bay Maritime Centre

The rooms were pretty quiet. I really liked that the staff made it a point to stress the quiet hours. The shower had good water pressure. The TV worked and the breakfast was good as well. The only suggestions I have is that the breakfast could benefit from another one of those pancake makers because that’s pretty much the bulk of the breakfast that people like. So there is usually a line when it gets busy. The other part is that the inn is located far enough from the city that it isn’t super convenient if you want to visit Victoria a lot without moving the car. Victoria charges for parking and there’s a lot of pedestrians. Parking the car at the inn is annoying because the spots are small as well as low in quantity. If it’s busy, you might have to park on the street (the streets are tiny when you have parking on both sides of the street with two way traffic. Lastly, apparently the sheets get cleaned with an extra chemical when they are extra dirty. Depending on the amount of tough stains and amount of time those chemicals sit on the cloth, can change the appearance of the sheets. Sometimes that chemical leaves suspicious (and frankly off putting) stains on the sheets that look like other fluids. Maybe time to replace those sheets?

What a great and beautiful setting.

Great location, easy to walk to waterfront, restaurants, etc. Small sized hotel located in quiet neighborhood. We had a 1 bedroom suite - roomy with kitchen. Bathroom very dark, could use more lighting. No central air but portable unit worked well. Breakfast at restaurant was excellent but a little pricey in comparison to other places. Staff helpful and very friendly. Would recommend!
