We got a deal and ended up here. I paid more money to
upgrade to a suite and honestly except for the view the
room is so out of date. I would say it is an 80's
special. They have put no money into upgrades what so
ever. Except a new tub liner. The elevators all have an
odd smell to them. Old? Not sure.
The suite it huge but old, stained green carpet we
didn't want out bare feet to touch. Gross!
We never went to the restaurant as we never saw anyone
in it and we were here for 3.5 days.
The gym is large and pretty good they the cardio
machines also need to be serviced. It seems who ever
owns Harbour Towers isn't willing to upgrade. We would
never stay here again!
oh and 15 bucks a day to park. Crazy!!!
If you stay here at least have an ocean view room. Can't
imagine if we didn't have a view and we had to be in
this crappy room.

The food was delicious, although a little salty at
times, and the hotel staff was second to none in being
accommodating and friendly. Will recommend to friends
and family. If you want a great view, I heard there's a
suite on the third floor with an amazing 360 degree view
of the harbour and city.

I loved this hotel because it was older which means the
rooms are bigger. Our room for my son & I was gigantic,
very comfortable & the view was great. The furnishings
needed some updating but they were not that bad. The
staff was so very helpful, they went out of their way to
fulfill all of our requests. The room was very clean &
the beds comfortable. I've traveled all over Europe &
Asia & have stayed in much worse. I will stay here
whenever I'm in Victoria.

We recently stayed December 29 - Jan 1 in a two bedroom
suite with our three children. The furnishing were very
dated and cheap, but could have looked past that except
the beds were uncomfortable and small. For some reason I
thought the second bedroom had two beds, which in my
experience was typical for a two bedroom suite. The lone
double bed was a bit tight for my daughters and my son
made do with the pull out sofa. This was my oversight,
but the discomfort of the beds for all caused us to
check out a day early and head home. The decor on their
website certainly looked much more up to date than what
we experienced. The living room area was spacious, which
was nice. It's a good location, quick walk from the
ferry, and close to the inner harbour a bit of a walk to
get to restaurants and shopping, but not bad. If you had
small children it would be more challenging, unless your
family is used to walking everywhere. The front desk was
accommodating but not friendly. The gym was huge and
probably the nicest feature, but we weren't really there
to work out. The pool and spa were okay, again dated,
but not bad. Overall the hotel needs a lot of updating.
If you are used to staying in really budget hotels, this
isn't bad. If you want something a step up from your
college days, I would look elsewhere.

I stayed at the hotel December 27, and 28th - booked a
two bedroom suite for my family so we could attend my
son's hockey tournament. Overall it was okay - clean and
roomy - but the furnishings really need updating and the
bed in my room was very old and lumpy. i was also
unhappy with the front desk staff = when I called about
problems with my internet I was rudely told that it had
nothing to do with the hotel and was given a number to
call. There was no need for the rudeness, I was polite
and my request was reasonable. I was also appalled at
one desk staff who was chewing a wad a gum so large it
could barely fit in her mouth and I could barely
understand her. My teens have better manners than either
of these people.
On the positive side - the restaurant food was very good
and very well priced -but understaffed so we ended up
leaving one of the nights before we got our desert - we
had waited 20 minutes and just gave up.
There are other hotels in the area that I've stayed in
that are the same price and more updated and with better
mannered front desk staff - I might eat there again, but
won't likely stay there again. |
