Huntingdon Hotel and Suites

Service staff were exceptional. Breakfast team were friendly, attentive and efficient, food was great.The housekeeping personnel did a fantastic job, room was consistently spotless every day. Reception staff were friendly and professional. Location of hotel was good, easy walking to the parliament, museum, downtown and public transport. James Bay grocery stores not too far to buy supplies to self cater.

We were originally booked in a Standard King Room with Kitchen and got an upgrade to their newly renovated Studio - Split Level. Good size kitchen with everything we needed. Spacious lounge area. Great that there was tea and coffee available for us to use. King size bed is at the top of the stairs, and it was very comfortable, the stairs were easy to use - not too steep and carpeted for grip, which was really nice. Breakfast was included every day - pretty standard but nicer than we expected. Underground parking was available at an additional cost, but as there is not much all-hours street parking, it was great to have that option. It was a close walk to downtown, and I loved the view of the harbour from our room. would stay again as it was good value for what we got compared to other hotels close by.

The property is beautiful. The grounds are well kept and lush with greenery and flowers. The room was great - the beds and linens comfortable and the pillows were the best ( wish I had pillows like that at home). There is only a small plug in room heater and even though it was windy and chilly outside it wasn’t needed. The bedding was warm enough for sleeping comfortably. The breakfasts were excellent - always fresh food being brought out and refilled. Scrambled eggs and sausage or ham daily, waffles, croissants, English muffins, toast (and if you need you can ask for gluten free bread and they will bring you some), delicious variety of muffins, fresh fruit - apples and bananas daily, cut melon and oranges, even pears one day. Juices, coffee and tea. The staff is amazing - constantly clearing tables and asking if anything is needed. There were two places to eat - the beautiful sunroom and a more subdued room. If you get to breakfast during the week choose the sunroom (it’s very busy on the weekends so you may have to wait a bit for a sunroom seat but the other room is just as nice. Even the seagulls were friendly - in the morning if they realized your curtains were open they would sit in the outside AC unit and “talk” to you. The check in staff was great and very helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay there again.

The Breakfast had a good variety to meet the wants of most people. I loved the location of the property! It was literally right across the street from the Clipper Terminal. On the property, there is a brunch Mexican restaurant, a spa with fantastic massages, a bike rental shop, and a Tea House. This is also an 8-10 minute walk to the Empress Hotel and the start of restaurants. In the other direction in an 8-10 minute walk is the Warf, so it is a great area.

The location was perfect. We were on a quieter side street with plenty of shade trees which are important in a heat wave. It was an easy walk to the shops in downtown Victoria. And that’s coming from a person who uses a cane.
