Oak Bay Beach Hotel
What a beautiful stay! The service was excellent. The property was beautiful. The area was lovely. Only drawbacks was the chairs in the room weren't great for reading/watching TV. Would've benefitted from some comfortable seating. The gym was pitiful. For a wellness focused resort, we were shocked ...

Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites
We stayed no balcony unit. It was terrible view and noise from the laundry room right beside us. We changed the room but there was completely street and parking lot view. Neighbours were not good also. I recommend to book at Inner harbour area hotel .
