Pros: A comfortable suite is much better value for the money than a single room. Very clean and well decorated with neutral colours, granite counter... way better than a stark white wall. Bed was comfortable. Location is great, centrally located but not a crazy busy/noisy street. Great walking around James Bay and Fisherman's Wharf. I really, REALLY like that they take dogs too. The suite was super clean, no sign of dogs from other people which I liked (even though I have a dog)!

Pros: On the edge of the James Bay neighborhood, the Oswego is in walking distance to the Parliament, downtown, Chinatown and all the ferry and seaplane services in the inner harbor. Our family of four were very comfortable in the 1BR premium suite. The bistro is great for a cocktail with locals or a morning coffee. The concierge will hold your bags while you walk and shop if you’ve got a late clipper departure. We’ll be back!

Cons: I didn't like how in the morning I tried calling and calling but no one answered as I had to catch a 7am and was told the night before someone would be there all night but when I called at least 9 times no one picked up until 5:50 am and all I wanted to do was check out and leave

Pros: We really liked the location of the hotel. Close to everything we wanted to go to or see. Free breakfast and ample free parking too was a plus.

Pros: Virtually everything - the place reminded me of the places my parents would take me as a kid when on holiday. Parking lot, very well kept gardens, friendly check-in with lemon water available and coffee in the morning. Comfy, old school decor and furnishings - but everything is clean and kept up - it's not at all tatty. Ice machine, vending machines, and a simple but immaculate room. I also left my laptop in my room by accident and the maid made a point of rushing after me to return it - so, honest staff as well.
Cons: My pillow could have been a bit denser!
Excellent
9.1
Pros: Inside and out hotel was beautiful. Even though we were a few hours early and not able to check into our room yet they still allowed us to park in the hotel parking lot so we could go out and spend some time walking around the area and visiting the museum. The staff that I dealt with were very pleasant and courteous. There is a very nice restaurant located in the basement of the hotel and is accessible both from the lobby and from outside. The food was good and staff was courteous and the prices were not too bad at all.
Cons: It’s an older hotel so there is no elevator and no air-conditioning. I have a bad back and stairs are difficult so having to go up to the third-floor was not easy. Luckily it was cool in the evening and overnight so the lack of air conditioning turned out to be Ok. It also would have been nice if there was some kind of complementary breakfast like Continental or just a small buffet but unfortunately there was not. Although they do give you a card when you check in that it allows you 15% off your meal in the restaurant that is located in the basement.

I can’t wait to return. The rooms were lovely, the linens crisp, and the the pillows were so comfortable. The high tea was exceptional. We had 1 child and 2 vegan teas and two winter teas. Really can’t wait to do it again. Our server Meagan was very helpful and delightful.

Pros: Extremely attractive hotel with perfect location by the waterfront. Easy walking distance all over town. We enjoyed our room overlooking the harbor. Gracious, helpful staff. We were happy with the Courtyard Cafe, which provided good sandwiches, coffee, and dessert for low-key suppers. Island Time Tours, booking right there in the Grand Pacific, took us to Butchart Gardens and picked us up again at our requested time. What a very nice arrangement. When it was time to leave Victoria, we chose the Victoria Airport YYJ Shuttle as more economical than a taxi. The Shuttle arrived at the front door and delivered us to the airport comfortably and in good time. We were happy in every way with our four nights at the Grand Pacific and would gladly stay there again.

Cons: Construction is going on and was happening right outside our window but wasn't overly noisy.

Pros: the location is great. room are quiet for resting.
Cons: I booked a ocean view room and end up a roof top view with very angle ocean view. The bell man help us get to the room, he also said it doesn't look like a ocean view room at all. Beside, the room very dated and furniture, carpet are all smell. So, I decide to upgrade to a newer building and paid extra $50 just for one night. Very disappointed the front desk lady keep emphasized that is a ocean view room!!

Pros: I liked that the hotel was close to the water and Fisherman's Wharf. It was clean and the staff was friendly.
Cons: It was far from the main downtown core. They do provide a free downtown shuttle on a first come basis until 2300. I believe this hotel would do much better if they had a FREE airport shuttle AND a free continental breakfast. I know I will look for both in a hotel if I return to the area.

6.5
Pros: Great location overlooking the entrance to Victoria inner harbor. Very nice and helpful staff. Nicely designed rooms.
Cons: Worst: nearly all the pillows smelled of old sweat. We finally requested and received new, unused pillows. Avoiding dry cleaning pillows is not a good cost-cutting measure! Also, waited one hour for breakfast, after two complaints, received it with the explanation that here were "problems in the kitchen." To their credit, the restaurant wait staff seemed embarrassed and comped the breakfast. Another morning we decided to skip the menu and do the $17 buffet, which was MUCH worse that the free buffets you get at budget hotels.

Beautiful view, location is great! 20 min walk to downtown- but also a water taxi stop directly out back ($8 one way) and the hotel offers a free shuttle downtown. When you call from downtown, be prepared for the woman answering to be incredibly rude and then just hang up once you give your location. Also a 3 min walk from the Fisherman’s Wharf. - lots to see, great to check out with kids. Expensive food ($16 nachos, $20 single piece of fish and chips). There is no housekeeping offered. I stayed 4 days and my garbage can was overflowing- I even brought it down to the public bathroom and emptied it myself as that was the only garbage can around. There was one regular and one decaf coffee in room, with a door knocker indicating coffee would be refilled if left on. After 2 days and several requests, I finally received more. Pool is wonderful. It’s both indoors and outdoor, hot tub and sauna are also nice. Restaurant is insanely overpriced. Drip coffee is $5, two poached eggs with toast was $17. The Marina Manager is rude - I suspect it’s also her answering the shuttle calls. Front desk staff were very helpful. Shuttle driver is excellent! The hotel does not offer airport shuttle (and currently the service is on hold in Victoria, so taxi is the only option. It was $70 from the hotel).
Excellent
8.0
Pros: The hotel is a bit out of the downtown area, but still pretty accessible. The location is beautiful looking over the inner bay. An upper floor is suggested. The room was clean and very comfortable.
Cons: The front desk staff was not rude, but just felt a little dismissive. The concierge is absolutely the wrong guy for the job. Again, not rude, but never smiled in our two interactions with him. He had trouble finding a city map for us. When we asked if the free shuttle could take us to a location, he just said no, but failed to help us try to find out how to get there. Just not the right guy for a job like that.

Cons: Stairs were a problem for me. We were directed to the back of building to get access. That was A. LOT OF walking with my cane and sore leg and knee. Then to leave we went thru the dining room, since I didn’t want to walk around the block. More stairs, so not easily accessable. The room did have shower and wall handles, which was great.
