The hotel has certain rooms that are decent however if you book through clipper you will not get one of those rooms. I have been here before and I am letting you know that this room you will get is a very small and loud budget room that is really not worth more than 100$ Per night. Very disappointed. Don't be fooled!

Excellent. Just excellent.

It's clean, hospitable, and convenient. The rooms smell fresh and the linens are spotless.

It's close to downtown, about a five minute walk, and not much further than that for other amenities and entertainment.

Free wifi is a huge plus and the valet parking happily takes care of your bags on check-out day by putting them in the car for you as you head out to go... more

A big surprise

Had a presentation and then dinner in the little room (about 8 people) off the main dining room with a pharmaceutical company . Ordered everything a la carte. Had Calamari appy which was a religious experience. The presentation was amazing... looked like pasta. The flavour exploded in your mouth. The main course was a chicken dish that was equally impressive.... more

Expensive

We ate a brunch meal here with our group and it was extremely expensive. $4 for a cup of coffee! The service was excellent and the food I had was good, but for the price it wasn't worth it.

wow

great people and service location and convieniance

This hotel is tough because in a lot of ways it is great. Beautiful rooms in the remodeled wing, great meals and friendly staff. My disappointment comes from the hidden fees, which are everywhere. After spending $250+ a night for a room plus meals in the restaurant, one would expect certain amenities such as wifi (not complimentary unless you book directly through them, how would anyone know to... more

The outdoor restaraunt is great

The patio, has one of the best views of downtown. Breakfast, coffee or dinner! It is a nice walk from all the atrractions.

Stay in the new wing

Why go on a cruise when you can sit on your deck and watch the world go by?
I suggest you buy a bottle of BC wine, order room service and enjoy the inner harbour.

The Only Place To Stay

Staff, rooms and atmosphere are wonderful. Restaurant presentations are very good. Within walking distance of most anything in the inner harbor.

Stayed here for two nights recently and very much enjoyed our stay.

We chose the Inn at Laurel Point because of its proximity to the Clipper dock (about a two minute walk) and its proximity to the water (even closer).

We arrived at about noon, were able to get into our room immediately, and, when he learned that neither my husband nor I had been to Victoria in many years, the person checking... more

Total hospitality

The folks at the inn at laurel point were completely accommodating. Not only was their friendliness above standard, but so too was the rooms. Would recommend a stay there to anyone

Good location

Within walking distance to downtown. Wonderful and helpful staff that were willing to help.

The view from our room was lovely. But that's pretty much the only thing I was pleased about during our stay. I just have to say, that in this day an age, who has to pay additional for wifi? especially when you are paying over $140 for a room? Apparently some rooms come with complimentary wifi and others do not, so if you are booking here make sure you double check, otherwise its a $9.99 one... more

Aura, the restaurant at the Laurel Point Inn is yummyyyyy!
I had the best 'pommes frites' and sandwich!
The patio is lovely and quiet with a great view and the food is extremely good.
It will be my weekly lunch treat now that I'm working downtown!

Beautiful exterior

The views and exterior of building, pond, ocean front property cant be beat. The rooms were nice, comfortable, clean and relatively modern. The location is about a five minute walk alongside the ocean to the parliament building. We didn't try the food. I would return!

Good food and nice view

The function room has a nice view from the bay. The food was good and service was decent. Would go again.

I will happily return

I am often in Victoria for conferences at the Empress but rarely stay there. This is a perfect alternative only a short walk away. The rooms are clean and comfortable but if it is important that you have a good view of the bay or a balcony, you should confirm this prior to check-in. I did not use the pool... more

Mother day Brunch 2013 ! Stay away from this brunch for Mother's Day

This was a very disappointing experience for both my wife and my little one on Mother's Day ! I could easily write 2 or more paragraphs on my entire experience from the service, the Maitre'd , and the extremely mediocre food and how nothing was replenished ! So to be short and curt : Don't bother with Laurel point that... more

Wake up to a fantastic view

We stayed for a week and received a weekly rate with free parking due to the weekly stay. This is a quiet, comfortable hotel and we slept amazingly well. Each morning we woke up to a fabulous view of the harbour. There are lovely walking trails right outside the front door, to downtown one direction, and to Fisherman's Wharf the... more

Great view of the Victoria Harbor

Wish we could have stayed more than 1 night. The room was simple and spotlessly clean, the staff was very gracious and friendly. It's always nice to have people recognize you and ask if you had a good day! If you come to Victoria on the ferry, the hotel is only about 200 yards away - and they gladly hold... more

Delightful and charming place to stay

Everything at the Inn at Laurel Point exceeded expectations - the only disappointment -- no hot tub in the pool area :( The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating - the views from the rooms second to none

Relaxing

Great hotel, nice and quiet as not right down town but close enough to walk. Valet parking was worth the added parking cost. Great views and nice walking trails. Lots of guests has dogs so must be pet friendly which is nice. Very quiet andd comfortable rooms. I highly recommend stay here and the staff are super friendly and accommodating... more

A great place to stay

My son and I stayed here for a long weekend and loved it. It's a comfortable, nicely appointed hotel and we didn't touch our car once while we were here, we walked everywhere. The food at the restaurant is delicious and very well made.
We highly recommend it!

Most awesome wedding ever

We chose the Inn at Laurel Point to host our daughter's wedding. We could not have asked for a better venue, more helpful staff, or a more beautiful place to share our daughter's special day.
We also chose to book hotel rooms here before / during / after the event. Also an extremely good idea on our part - the... more

Always great

I have stayed here several times. It has a much more intimate feeling then a delta and has all the ammenities one would expect. The hotel has never let me dowm. Great views, great comfortable rooms and the value is insane compared to so many others.
Ithe staff treat you like your next visit is important to them.
I stayed... more

Elegant yet family-friendly

We stayed with our 6-year-old for just one night to attend a work-related function in Victoria. Wonderful hotel with great amenities. Terrific staff. My son commented that we could have a dance floor in the bathroom (which we did)! The views, the staff...all were wonderful. They even gave us a scavenger hunt to do, which invited us to explore the... more

Tire slashed in securred parking

Real simple, tire got slashed in the "secured parking area", which was an extra $17/night. Out $450, hotel won't cover it! Behind the secure gate, lots of motion camera's that were reviewed by hotel staff. Must of been the invisible tire slashing fairy!

Nice Views

I was here in March. The room was quite large and the tub was great. The room service breakfast was lack luster and very expensive. I would rather stay at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel, for the same money you get WAYYYYYY better service. It is a very nice hotel though and I would stay there again.

No view and no sleep

We stayed for one night, then moved into another hotel. Our room was on the second floor and looked out onto an interior roof covered in rocks. The room itself was comfortable and well-appointed with Aveda products in the bathroom and a slightly Asian theme. The bedding was very comfortable, but due to the pounding music from a wedding party... more

Fabulous stay

Took my son to Victoria for spring break and stayed at the Inn at Laurel Point for 3 nights. Got a good deal from the hotel so upgraded to the Erickson wing. Very well worth it! Huge room overlooking the water - very tranquil. Room was spotless and very welcoming upon arrival. Bathroom with soaker tub, separate shower, double sinks,... more

Great stay in Victoria

The staff at the Inn at Laurel Point were very friendly, helpful and responsive. The room was clean & comfortable with a nice view of the harbor. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to 'downtown' Victoria, which is good if you want to be away from the bustle & traffic. Since we went downtown a lot, we got a bit... more

Nice

I come to Victoria ever year at this time. When I book a reservation I always requested a room on the higher floors due to noise. When I arrived the reservation was booked on the main floor, (the gal at the front desk knew I was not pleased.) She was kind enough to go and speak with her manager, and... more

fantastic place to stay in Victoria,BC

We had a short stay,our fifth, at Laurel Point, in the Erickson Wing. The outer harbor view is beautiful and the room is as nice as any five star room we have been in. The hotel is close to the sights of Victoria but secluded in it's own zen like gardens.Could not have been better!

Lovely stay

Lovely place with views of the harbour. Very comfortable rooms and good food available at the hotel. Reservations were easy and flexible. Staff are very helpful on arrival making great restaurant recommendations. The grounds are beautiful during cherry blossom season.

Truly a 5 Star stay

I am the owner of Destination Spa B&B here in Salmon Arm and offer a 5 star rating with TripAdvisor. I know from my clients what it takes to have a first class experience, and this is my daily goal for me to have with all of my clients from across the globe. My experience with this property far exceeded... more

Spectacular views

We stayed just one night but it was fantastic. This is our second stay at the inn at Laurel Point and we were not disappointed. We chose a terrace suite in the Erickson wing with a spectacular view of the outer harbour. Beautiful and large bathroom with separate tub and shower and double sink. We had diner at Aura downstairs... more

Lovely stay

We stayed 3 nights and loved it. Large room, great views - we could watch float planes all day long! Our room was modern and clean with a nice big bathroom. There was no noise from other rooms. We had breakfast in the hotel one day and it was great. Would definitely stay here again. No complaints from me.

Fantastic Hotel

Stayed at Laurel point for 5 nights - had a great experience! Staff were all very friendly, had a nice, clean room with a view of the harbour. The room had a balcony and a fridge. The bed was very comfortable - I slept so good! Location was very convenient as well - close to downtown, Fisherman's Wharf, the breakwater,... more

Fabulous Place

This our second time at the Inn and we could not have had a more wonderful room. Spectacular view and all the luxury in a suite you could ask for as well as friendly staff. It is an easy walk to the government buildings and the museum.

An amazing experience

From the moment we parked to the time we were in our room couldn't believe how the staff in all areas made you feel welcome. All I can keep thinking was what an amazing experience we had. Once we had one meal in the restaurant we were hooked and didn't venture far for meals...again the word amazing just describes the... more

Lovely setting and wonderful catering

I just stayed for the past two nights at the Inn at Laurel Point. My room was spacious and tastefully decorated. I had a partial view of the water. Aside from a noisy heating unit in the room, and no refrigerator, I felt that the room was quite good.
I was at a meeting, and the catering we received was... more

Consistently Exceeded Expectations

The Inn at Laurel Point was recommended to me by a family member. I was consistently and pleasantly surprised throughout my four-day stay by the courteous service, the convenient location, the little touches in décor and amenities (e.g., the Aveda products in the bathroom, the origami restaurant card on the desk, the little air plant terraria on the restaurant tables,... more

Absolutely Lovely

We recently stayed at the Laurel Point. The hotel has been updated and the rooms are generously sized with modern amenities. Beds were comfy.They have a great pool area and gym (which unfortunately we didn't use). We breakfast in the hotel (Aura) and it was good. The views are astounding! It's a wee bit pricey but we ordered a la... more

1. The exterior of the place (the renovated portion) looks awesome. The non-renovated section looks dated. It looks like a new section was added on top of the older one.

2. The check in process was super quick. I highly recommend that TWO people work the front desk during check ins after 3pm but that wasn't the case. There were 5 separate people waiting to check in with only one lady working.
... more

beautiful view

While the hotel itself is average, the view makes up for it! It is right on the harbor and a room with a view affords breath-taking vista including the Empress and the parliament buildings.

Lovely Place for a Getaway. Beyond Expectations

This lovely hotel was the perfect place for a one night getaway for my Mother and I. The room was extremely comfortable and very clean. We stayed in the older Laurel Wing, and were prepared for the room to be a little worn and outdated. We were pleased to find a pleasant, well maintained room. The gorgeous view of the... more

Great staff; warm and inviting service

The warm, informed, friendly, and honest staff made up for some of the small shortcomings of our room (e.g. one room needed additional lighting). We had a great stay thanks in no small part to help, assistance, and a welcoming atmosphere-- all thanks to the staff members we interacted with. The bag/front room staff were particularly warm and helpful.
Although... more

Great Location and Great Staff

I was a little disappointed with the room as it was really showing it's age but the staff and location were fantastic. I would hasten to add that the price we paid was reasonable but there is big difference in room quality between the different wings. I read reviews here and was swayed by the comments of the beautiful rooms,... more

Beautiful City, Wonderful Hotel

This hotel has the greatest staff and beautiful rooms. Loved the location and how easy it was to get around by foot. I will not hesitate to stay here again the next time I am in Victoria. I highly recommend it!

We will be back

This is an excellent hotel. Rooms are beautifully decorated, the views are fantastic from all parts of the hotel, and, as many other reviewers have noted, the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating.
We had booked a studio king in the Erickson wing and were truly impressed by both the room and the bathroom. Lots of space, comfortable furnishings, and... more

3rd time staying here

This is my wife and myself's 3rd time here for a reason.
For the location (right on the harbor, close to downtown), price and *star rating, this can't be beat.
Sometime the price is a bit high but usually a deal can be found.
Every room seems to have a view of the harbor different angles. They are modern and... more

Hotel staff are the absolute best

This is the second time we've stayed at this hotel and once again we've had an excellent experience. The staff is outstanding - friendly and courteous, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure their guests are comfortable. Views are great, and the location makes it easy to walk to anywhere in the uptown area. We'd recommend it... more

Great Hotel for Business or Leisure

I travel to Victoria with business and it was my first stay with Laurel Point Hotel. I was impressed with the customer service from the beginning to the end of stay. Rooms are specious and have beautiful view with the garden and harbor. All staff members were very friendly and motivated to provide the best service. I especially highlight the... more

Great accommodation with a beautiful view

I stayed here for a conference and was very impressed with the facility, the grounds, the location and the view. The hotel is nicely situated, close to downtown. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Will be back

Thanks for such a great stay! From the valet to the front desk and housekeeping staff, they were all attentive and 'on the ball'. Views were amazing from the deck (even though it was raining/snowing), especially the sunrise. Love the green initiatives and in-room Aveda products.

A Beautiful View

My second stay at this hotel. Both times I have found the staff very friendly.The food and the service was fantastic! Beautiful views from our room and the dining room. Our last stay we had a lovely Junior Suite.
The only draw back about that was there wasn't any heat in the living room area. It was very cold during... more

Staying with a senior dog 80 lbs

We were vacating our home near Butchart Gardens while our house was being painted. Initially planned to head north up Vancouver Island but weather forecast was wind and rain. Decided to stay at a pet friendly hotel on the Victoria harbour. Checked comments at trip advisor and visited the hotel with our pet to check out the facility. Our dog... more

Close to everything with a nice view. Almost four stars but the interior was a bit dated 90's style with modernizations here and there. A loud old air conditioning unit. Parking is extra.

Could be a five but

I wanted to give this hotel a five, but as with everything, there is room for improvement.
My wife, german shepherd and myself completed our mini-vacation by staying at this hotel for two nights.
Upon check-in all went well as staff were attentive and there if needed for luggage or anything else. We were reminded of the $30 pet surcharge... more

Great location, beautiful views, great service, nice room

We booked the Inn at Laurel Point last minute for our first trip to Victoria. The location is great, and the views from the hotel are wonderful. I arrived to the hotel at 11 AM laden with an overtired toddler, and the front desk staff was able to give us an early check-in. Our room was in the older section,... more

Very comfy stay at this property

Booked through BC ferries. Good deal all around.
Hotel in clean and rooms are just right when it comes to balancing comfort with style. Great wifi connection. Fabulous location.
Only wish they had a hot tub and sauna.....heated indoor pool only....
Will def come back

Very close to the ferry terminals, which is a delight for the weary traveler. The accommodations themselves are basic but nice, and the staff are friendly. The restaurant is unremarkable, maybe even disappointing given how good food in Victoria generally is.

While it's nice to be near the ferry terminal on the day you arrive or depart via ferry, unless you really like water taxis and braving... more

We arrived in Victoria via the Victoria Clipper. The Clipper site has several recommended hotels and that is what we elected from, Clipper Vacations. Once we arrived, A few minute walk along the upper waterfront path took us to the entrance of the inn. Very convenient.

Very nice ladies at the front desk

We got a Studio with a King bed at the newer south section, the Erickson wing. We noticed... more

Fabulous hotel

We have stayed at the Laurel Point Inn many times and we have never been disappointed. .Love the location, Inner Harbor area. The staff could not be any nicer or competent. Comfortable bed, with very clean room and beautiful view.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Loved the view. Safes in room were difficult to work. Good value.

Very nice Hotel with a great View

I would definitely recommend it to others. Very clean. It looks rather plain - very light on any decor, but the view makes up for it. Warm and welcoming staff. I thought it was good value for money. I think all expectations were met.

Great Location

Great Location, with a good view over the bay of Victoria.

Inn at Laurel Point

This was my first time to Victoria, so walking off the ferry and having the Inn right there couldn't have been any more perfect. We got there many hours before check-in and the staff was very helpful holding on to our luggage for no extra fee!

Although not the absolute worst hotel I've ever stayed at, clearly they have room for improvement.

From the very beginning we got off to a poor start. That's because our US based GPS services don't work in Canada without paying for exorbitant roaming fees and The Inn at Laurel Point is hidden like a guarded secret from the main road. It's unforgivable that there was no sign- we almost missed... more

Walked access from harbour needs more illumination at night.

Loved the style of the hotel, its location and service. It is beautifully located and not surpassed by any other in Victoria
\n\n
They had abandoned their breakfast buffets save for Sunday Brunch which was excellent but has limited seating available so book early!

Really loved watching the activity in the harbour, seaplanes, ferries, fishing boats, etc. The Hotel is super clean, beautiful Japanese gardens and sitting areas.

great location - close to the core but not too close clean, comfortable room with updated bathroom friendly bar staff efficient and friendly check-in and valet parking
\n\n
nothing comes to mind

Ausgezeichnete Lage

Flot placering Centralt og alligevel stille Fint at kunne sidde i parken og se vandflyvere
\n\n
Værelset var gammelt, slidt og mørkt Altanen var ubrugelig og slidt og uden møbler Lever slet ikke op til prisen....måske prisen matcher den dyre del af hotellet bedre?

Location was good and clean basic room.
\n\n
Views obstructed

The Hotel is well positioned with great views and a pleasing 5 minute walk to the main harbor area. Good bar and restaurant not overly expensive.
\n\n
The Laurel wing is looking a little tired in places and could do with a make over.

Everything else was great..room was everything we needed..bed was awesome..even could get a nightcap in the lounge..very friendly and helpful staff..would definitely return.
\n\n
The lanai was of triangle shape..enough for one chair only..but no chairs out ther

The staff was most helpful. We asked to change rooms after the first night, preferring a different view and this was done graciously. The location of this hotel is very convenient to the city. The grounds are beautiful. If we are lucky enough to come back to Victoria, we will again stay here, no question.
\n\n
There was nothing not to like. It would be wonderful if a breakfast was included.

This location on Victoria's Inner Harbour and beside Laurel Poin Park / seawall is excellent - easy walk to many tourist sites. Great place to watch the world go by. Aura restaurant has very accommodating staff, great food, wonderful patio. In response to my disappointment over the inferior room we were given, staff offered an upgrade the next time we stay there. (Not likely, though!)
\n\n

I am staying at this hotel right now and do yourself a favor KEEP LOOKING. This hotel has a really old wing that they offer up at a discount. There are better deals in Victoria harbor area. This feels a little like a bait and switch

We stayed one night at Laurel Point. The king-sized bed was comfortable. Our second-floor balcony had a good view of the harbor, though the balcony itself was so compact there was no room to sit out there.

Sound insulation is lacking. We could hear sirens from across the bay and voices in the hallway carried right through the door.

Breakfast service inhouse was glacial. It easily took 20... more

Could have been better....

Hotel was overbooked so we were given a room with a view of a pond type thing that was dirty and gross. After complaining we were moved to a room with a much better view which is what we booked in the first place. Also, if you end up on the bottom floor you will be very disappointed. Bed was fine...patio was not what we expected. It was standing only...nothing to sit on...very small. We stayed... more

Outdoor balcony with view. of harbor and beautiful landscape. Excellent quality bed and amenities Excellent location- walking distance to BC Museum, ferry, and downtown.

Everything was good!

Location was within walking distance to town, without the noise. The wait staff at aura was outstanding

The hostess at aura was a little snooty, not at all accommodating .

The location was fantastic . We stayed in room 452,the new part of the hotel and the view of the marina from our balcony was amazing. The hotel is also close to the centre of Victoria. The room was large and the housekeeping was excellent. Staff were friendly,polite and helpful at all times.

Fabulous location -terrific view, very close to downtown. Tiny room, but good value for money.

the positives -- great location on the harbor, beautifully landscaped grounds, good linens & bathroom products, very nice & helpful staff, and they allowed us a later check-out with no extra charge. The negatives -- a little farther walk to "town" than I expected, the tiny balcony & cheap plastic chairs were not at all clean, there were some stains on the carpet and the room in general seemed a... more

The dining, bar room was lovely and loved the private dining room
\n\n
The hotel needs a hot tub, and bigger fitness studio and should have on site spa services. This was really lacking.

Check in and front counter staff were readily available so no line ups even when there were several guests.
\n\n
We were disappointed with the view or more specifically with the lack of view. We booked 3 or 4 weeks in advance so would have expected not to see just trees out of our windows. Also, patio chairs would have been appreciated.

Staff friendly and helpful. Wonderful location on outer harbor.

Very nice hotel with great staff and rooms. It's right on the water and very convenient to the harbor activities, government buildings, museums, etc.
\n\n
Was surprised that the restaurant didn't open up until 7am. We were ready to get coffee way before that!

I stayed here with my partner recently and we absolutely loved the experience. We had a view of the water, and could see the inner harbour as well as watch the seaplanes land and takeoff.

The amenities in the room were excellent: a deep soak tub, separate standup shower, and his and her sinks. The bathroom was meticulously clean when we arrived, as was the rest of the room.

I had to take... more

We thought the hotel was very good, and would certainly stay again

Die Preisangabe ihrerseits ist irrefuhrend, Preisangabe und Endpreis mit all den Taxen ist einfach zu teuer

Location is excellent for vacation travel and the Japanese gardens made the hotel appear special.
\n\n
Constant noise in the room from some kind of central climate system blowing air into the room was very intrusive.

Great location, great views

The hotel is very close to all the tourist attractions and had a beautiful view of the harbour.
\n\n
It was extremely dusty and their house keeping staff clearly lacked attention to detail.

The great view from our room. Excellent staff, very accomodating, helpful and welcomes you with a big smiles on their faces. Third time in Victoria, the best place we stayed in.
\n\n
I wish there's hot tub in the site aside from the pool they have.

The situation of the hotel has lovely views over the bay and surrounding area. Within walking distance of all amenities. Good staff - very helpful.

Enjoyed the visit - good car parking facilities at a charge. Many rooms have been updated but we stayed in a room awaiting an update but it was comfortable.

My wife and I stayed here recently and enjoyed it. We had one of the rooms facing the harbor with a small balcony. the view was great an overall it was great value for the money. We were looking for somewhere unique to stay and were satisfied with the inn at laurel point. All of the staff we talked to we're very friendly and helpful and the location was great, just a couple minute walk to the... more

The room in which we stayed had nice harbour view.

Room is very small and did not have microwave so it was hard to warm food for our little one.

We came up here for a little one night get away. We came up on the Clipper from Seattle and loved that we could just walk from the clipper ferry terminal to our hotel in less than 5 minutes.

When we got to the hotel we were about 4-5 hours early for check in but we were able to get our room right away, so that was a plus!

Everyone was really nice, front desk, bartenders and wait staff. I'd... more

If you want to feel pampered then this is the place to be. Excellent location and outer harbour view is spellbinding. Beds are luxurious and aveda products in bathroom are amazing. The inhouse Aura restaurant has fabulous food and seating. Would definitely return. Having a wonderful vacation here in Victoria.

We loved the location.
\n\n
A fitness facility was advertised but was minimally equipped. The room was comfortable, but the furnishings were not what I expect of a four or five star facility--more in keeping with the Best Western where we stat overnight for an early morning flight

service at restaurant super slow

- Stylish rooms - Very friendly, knowledgable, accommodating, and professional staff. - The View of the harbor and downtown. -I've stayed in pretty much every 3-5 star hotel in downtown Victoria and this place has all of them beat by a long shot in terms of service, design, cleanliness, and everything in between. Stay here! You won't be disappointed.

It's the pits to find the washroom! Clearer sign

The view of the bay, the breakfast was great, staff were great, the location was great.
\n\n
We had paid extra for a view room and in the first room we had a view of the bay if you strained your neck out the window. When we said the room was unacceptable, we were shown a perfect room by the very accommodating staff.

I liked location easy to walk into town!
\n\n
Rooms can hear everything in the hallway!! Very noisy. Also the room was 2 double beds not queens:(

This place was beautiful. Harbor and Zen garden...The rooms were spacious and very clean and the amenities were first class. The view was amazing because of the full glass wall of windows in the room. It is right on the harbor but walking distance from all of downtown. The staff were courteous and attentive. I would stay here any time. I rarely come here to yelp to rate a place but I found... more

We recently had our wedding here, and I have to say that the service could not have been better. Such friendly and helpful staff. We were incredibly taken care of, down to the last detail. I stopped stressing over the wedding as soon as we checked in, it was wonderful.

I am writing a review for the Elopement Package. I worked with one of the Event Manager's at the Inn at Laurel Point setting up all the details for a party of 20 that was going to be staying at the Inn for 2 nights. The package included the top floor suite with sweeping views of Victoria's Inner Harbor, Wedding Cake prepared by the pastry chef on site, matching bathrobes, Marriage Commissioner,... more

A very nice hotel. The room was very well lit up from the natural light, and this created a very nice space. The hotel staff were all very helpful and pleasant. Only negative, of sorts, was the tiny TV. Not really tiny, but small. Of course, we weren't there to watch TV, so it didn't really matter. Very good location, close to downtown Victoria.

great location and confortable beds at the laurel point inn

great value for money : good location , impress by quality of room and views . expectations were exceeded .

The Inn at Laurel Point

I would recommend the Inn at Laurel Point with one reservation.My wife and I checked in and I decided to immediately up grade to the Ericson wing.(just because it wasn't much more and the pictures on-line of the rooms were great).After about 5 minutes in the room we both noticed a constant sound that was like someone vacuuming loudly in the next room.I phoned the front desk and they apologized... more

Super clean, comfy beds, exceptional and friendly staff, we very much enjoyed our stay @ Laurel Point. The openess of the hotel and bright light from all the windows gave it fresh feel looking out onto the lovely Japanese garden area. A bit loud in the morning with motored water activity, but we just turned up the fan on the air control. The walk to the local activities wasn't too far and much... more

Beautiful view, one of the best in Victoria. We are former residents of Victoria and know the different hotels. We enjoyed our stay a lot. The pool area could use some touching up though.

Good Hotel, Great Location

Yes The view very much impressed us and it was quiet and cozy. The hotel was a little stuck in the 1980's but great linens on the beds and very comfortable beds. Great value for the money, but I wouldn't pay full price for it, thanks Skoosh!

Fantastic location but, purchasing a 'cheaper' rate room means that you will be put in the north wing in a fairly cramped room as opposed to the south wing where the rooms were aesthetically superior! We had thought we were getting a queen/king size bed as stated on our voucher, but ended up with two doubles... Loved the Aveda bath products though and the partial view of the harbour - only... more

really enjoyed our stay here. room was very clean, comfy bed, and very spacious. staff was very courteous as well and it's very conveniently located to the victoria clipper. we'll stay here again.

If a clean accomodation and a friendly check-in and a great view to the harbor (walking distance!!) satisfies you, it's fine here. But we found more: our room (in the "old" wing of the building...) was not completely prepared. in bathroom we found conditioner, but no shampoo, one of the 2 lamps for the beds did not work ( bulb..). WebPage: "... Inn-room safe... in all rooms.. " - not in our... more

Nice room with lovely water view,good deal with Victoria Clipper ferry. Location is ideal,heart of town,on the water,walk to the ferry and very quiet. Seriously nice breakfast on the patio,not cheap but very satisfying, free wifi in the room.

Our room (#251) was directly across the Inner Harbor from the famous Princess Hotel. My wife summed up our view by saying she felt sorry for Princess guests as they couldn't look out on our view. Staff was fabulous - so much so that there were a few I would have liked to take home with me. The room was fabulous with a couple of exceptions. we were adjacent to some sort of mechanical room that... more

Lovely place to stay!
We stayed in the newer wing and had a gorgeous view in a spacious room w a Zen feel.
Restaurant was quite good and the location is very walk able but out of the downtown enough so you feel like you've escaped to a peaceful place.
Great service. We will come here again.

Great value and location. Very clean and nice people working the desk.

I came here for the long weekend and enjoyed my 3 day stay at the Inn. We were in one of the older, Laurel Wing rooms, but it looks like the furniture and bathroom have undergone some renovations so it didn't look too dated. The balcony is pretty tiny in that wing though, so if you want a huge balcony then book in the newer Erikson wing.

Staff were all polite and friendly and our room was... more

I have mixed reviews about my stay. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly and kindly, and service was prompt and efficient. My room had a most glorious view, and was simple and clean. I loved how it was a quick 10 min walk to my conference, and downtown, and free WiFi is always a plus. It's the small details however where this review shifts slightly downwards. To me details and completing an... more

I wish I could take credit for finding this location. It was the location selected by a conference I attended. The location is an incredibly short walk from the ferry (less than 2 minutes) and very close to the sites and eats in Victoria. My room was INCREDIBLE. I shrieked when I entered the room and saw the breathtaking view of the harbor. I found the staff helpful and friendly including the... more

Amazing! Very clean, high end, and very considerate. Top notch! The price is right on too.

The Inn at Laurel Point is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. The check in was quick and the staff very friendly. We loved our room in the Erickson Wing with the 2 sinks, separate shower from tub, and the sliding doors. I would recommend the Erickson Wing, I'm not sure about the other wing but it's worth paying extra for a nicer room. The view of the water from the large balcony was... more

Great place to stay in Victoria

Excellent location (about a 3 minute walk from the Victoria Clipper dock), and great views overlooking the harbor. The staff was consistently courteous and always helpful. I'll very likely stay there the next time that I visit Victoria. The only thing that I'd wish for is a hot tub. The pool was great, but a hot tub would have made it perfect. They apparently had one at one time, but removed it... more

I commend the marketing department of the Inn at Laurel Pointe, particularly their great website for getting me genuinely excited about staying at the hotel. However, what we saw online and what we got when we arrived were two very different things. The hotel itself is quite dated, particularly the main entrance and the Laurel Wing. The lobby is decorated with newer furniture but ugly polished... more

“The Laurel Point is a great place to stay in central Victoria.”

“Good location, quiet. Great view. Staff friendly and helpful.”

“Very pleasant and convenient.”

We took the clipper, arrived in the morning, went to hotel to see if we could check in- we knew we likely couldn't but we left our bags there- they were very nice about it.

We arrived back around 4 for a nap before dinner and we got into the room. It was a nice room, we had a very quiet corner room.

Generally we were very happy. We couldn't get a late check out but again checked our bags with... more

Very disappointing. Room was shabby with stained carpets,chipped furniture and dust under the bed. Staff seemed too busy to care. Not worth the $190 per night price.

Great view

We really enjoyed the location. The Parliament Building looked beautiful from our room especially at night with the outside lights outlining the building. We could hear birds chirping as well as the activity going on in the harbour.

So close to the Harbour!

We went for an overnight getaway from Seattle; we took the clipper up, and the hotel let us check in early to put our bags away, which was a huge plus! They were pleasant, the rooms were nicely furnished, and the breakfast at Aura was great. The only negative thing about the hotel was room service -- we put our room service card on the door, unfortunately it mysteriously disappeared and we did... more

Hotel with the best food in town

Great location - removed enough from the city to escape the noise - yet only a few blocks away. Gorgeous views from every rooms it seems. We stayed for a long weekend without a car and the location worked beautifully for that.The only bummer was the pictures for the room we purchased showed a balcony with chairs. The balcony in our room was an opera balcony that could barely fit two... more

Fan of the hotel - not a fan of Aura the dining establishment. The food was overpriced and the waitstaff lazy in their delivery and timing. We waited extremely long times to get our food and drinks on two seperate times. Funny - they didn't take nearly as much time to deliver the checks. Stay for the hotel - avoid Aura.

This was the 3rd visit to Laurel Point and we were truly looking forward to being there again. It's been a few years since our last stay and I'm not sure what happened but the quality and service have dropped dramatically. The rooms were cleaned poorly if at all. When we complained we were move into smaller rooms, right across from the elevator so the noise level was through the roof. We also... more

I have stayed here before and had a wonderful time. This time, not so much. Get to town, we are told we can check in at 3, so we dine, and wonder and come back to sit in the lounge at around 2:15. At 2:30 we check to see if by chance we can get into our rooms. We are told that one is ready but the other one will be in another 10 minutes or so. So at 3, we get our keys, go up to our rooms. Our... more

Excellent Place To Stay!

The inn at laurel point is one of the best places to stay. it has beautiful rooms and many different suits you can choose from. The room service was great and the staff were accommodating. the inn is very pet friendly. they give you a bed snacks and bowls for your dog. We highly recommend it.

We only had one night in Victoria and I wanted a hotel with good views and secure parking without costing the earth. This hotel is located on a bend in the harbor with views of the main harbor area on one side and the outer harbor on the other. So you can't really go wrong. The parking is in a secured facility just across the road, but this is their own access road, so it's just 25m from the... more

Reasonably nice hotel but some issues. Doors are thin and as we were on the ground floor heard lots of hallway noise. Carpets were stained and in need of replacement. We called to order breakfast ( room service ) and all we got was an answering machine that asked us to leave a message and they would call back ASAP. After waiting 25 minutes we never got called back, gave up and went to the... more

Very friendly and courteous staff. I booked a room in the old wing, thinking it was in the modern looking/trendy new wing. I was a disappointed when I got there but the front desk upgraded us to the new wing for a discounted price. The room was gorgeous, the staff was amazing, the restaurant is delicious (though a little overpriced, as is most of Victoria). Everyone was accommodating and they... more

Just got back from a 3-day stay in Victoria at the Inn at Laurel Point where we had a King Studio in the new section. I travel a lot and this was a great hotel. I would definately go back. Here's why:

The room itself was perfect -- trendy decor, huge bathroom and extremely tasteful and relaxing. The bed was super comfortable and the "triple" sheets and duvet made me want to stay in bed all... more

Not what it used to be

I was here for personaly family matters and needed peace and quiet as I had work to do as well in the room. First of all, they wanted extra $ for parking which I refused to pay. That was my first encounter with insincere customer service. The man that checked me in asked me how my day was going so far in a monotone voice as he was looking at the computer screen. They put me in a room beside... more

“ When I arrived at the hotel the receptionist informed me that they gave my reservation to someone else. If that wasn't enough they sent us to a room that had not been clean, then they upgraded us to a better room which was also unclean. They found my friend and I another room but it only had a king size bed instead of the two doubles we requested so we had to share. Very awkward but I had no... more

Nice place, good service. The valet parking is a bonus. The rooms in the new wing are fantastic.

Read the Fine Print

I love this hotel; I didn't know they had the super small bedrooms and when I prepaid for the room, got stuck in that wing.

I loved our stay at the Laurel Point Inn. I stayed there over a year ago and had an absolutely enchanting time.

Our guide book recommended that we spring for a room in the recently remodeled pavilion. It was a great suggestion and one I strongly affirm. Not cheap, but worth every penny. The view of the Fairmont Empress from the room and balcony were amazing.

I was a bit concerned that it was... more

“A few minutes walk to town, very convenient. Views are great, lounge entertainment was fantastic, prices hard to beat. Not sure why other reviews are negative, I have stayed here several times and absolutely would stay again.”

Great Place, If you're looking for a great view. There is an outside patio area where you can watch the planes coming in and people watch. As fo r the food i thought it was pretty decent too. I suggest the seafood clams, oysters etc the staff was very kind as well but nothing much more than what you would expect. Overall its a nice place to relax and enjoy a night.

Ive stayed here a few times...while visiting and not really caring much about budget...

The SERVICE here is phenomenal...the views spectacular situated right at the tip of the entrance to the Inner Harbor...to wake in the morning,throwing open the curtains...and watching the monstrous Coho ferry sliding by seemingly right outside your window...and all sorts of other harbor activity...This is... more

We stayed here for about 5 days. We had a nice room in the new wing. It was a 'suite' but was just one large room. Very nice decor, Modern/Asian influence, huge bathroom, hallway had display cases with Japanese antiques. My sister-in-law had a room that cost less in the older wing that had two "rooms". Which was probably the better set up as we were travelling with children. We had the better... more

Very nice hotel, restricted views

Rooms are clean modern. You pay a premium for a harbour view. The nice view rooms are not available on the internet.

no concierge service, room not clean, tired, needed update, no flexibility in changing room or getting late check out... no bar, food ok but expensive.

only downside was the horn from

only downside was the horn from the ferries and water planes taking off and landing... but these finished by 6pm and started after 7.30am. otherwise a fantastic hotel that rated pretty much 5 out of 5

Harborview... sweet! Lobby & first floor were quite trendy... thought I was about to go into a fancy-spancy spot back in NYC. Located in the Inner Harbor area, very close to the night-view locations on the harbor.

Beds comfy, free internet access if you have a laptop, good tea selection.

Fridge not plugged in (but cold enough outside to put whatever you want out on the balcony and not go... more

While I haven't been here in years, this place is pretty freakin' sweet and it will always be remembered as one of my very favorite hotels. I did, afterall, have my very first penthouse experience here.

The building itself consists of a new and old section (although by now the "new" section is a little old. I've never stayed in the older of the sections, but the newer one has gigantic marble... more

Excellent value for money. Beautiful view from room. Small balcony. You can update to the newer section of the hotel with large glass balconies.

If your thinking about this hotel with idea of it being pet freindly, it cost you plenty $50.00 for your dog of 30lbs and under, the rooms are in the older part of the hotel, and not nearly as nice as the ones that are not for dogs, there is also a$10.00 charge for parking, the parking lot is across the street and if it is raining you get wet, there is no under cover for you to take your... more

“Wonderfully located but quite rudimentary for the price.”

“Rooms are small. Parking is not free. Upgrades to a larger room are too much. For the price we paid we could have easily stayed at a better hotel such as the Fairmont.”

“Great water views, (an upgrade gives wonderful views) comfortable beds, nicely furnished, clean, friendly staff, wonderful cocktail lounge (right on water).”

“This hotel is in a great location right on the water on the inner harbor. A very nice hotel, however, there was no newspapers at your doorstep every morning, you need to go the bar to get a bottle of water, the gift shop only sells gifts - no snacks, couldn't get a cup of coffee in the evening except in the bar. A very nice hotel but without the little extras one expects to find in a very nice... more

“Seemed like needed some upkeep. Halls dark, dreary. Fake flowers on entrance table. Seemed to be struggling. Some repair needed on our ceiling. Needs something.”

A few years ago in January, we booked a weekend at the Laurel Point Inn in Victoria, BC. We stayed in a studio suite in the newer wing of the hotel. It was a Japanese style room that overlooked the Japanese garden. We opted for the Breakfast Is Served package.

Although, the hotel may seem outdated compared to some of the major chains, and the service was not 5-star all the time, I did enjoy... more

The stay was great. The view was perfect, and the front service staff was very helpful!

Unique Quality: The great view of Victoria, and the bay

Directions: At Laurel Point

The Laurel Point Inn is a very romantic spot to go for evening dinning. The pub is also great for lunch or a informal meeting. The menu is not large but offers a good variety.

Besides being a great hotel with an incredible view, we were delighted when we got there and found that we had been upgraded to an executive one-bedroom suite for no reason!

Unique Quality: We loved the view from our balcony of the harbor. We watched seaplanes land and take off, ferries arrive and leave, beautiful sunsets. We liked it so much we spent most meals eating room service on the... more

The park in front of the Laurel Point Inn. They also have gorgeous large begonia at the entrance of the hotel.

Standard rooms overlooking the Inner Harbor, some with obstructed views. Nice park and walkway between harbor and hotel. Good location, very close to Victoria's main attractions but away from the crowds.
