Guest Review of the James Bay Inn Victoria
Sep 25, 2010
Now 72, retired, a recovering stroke & aneurism survivor, I wanted to see all of
Canada, this was a starting point, I've now been coast to coast...I found 'The
James Bay Inn' in Frommer's (Victoria & Vancouver BC) tourist guide book & I've
been back, 'several times' since...it's just a great all-around hotel, for quiet
adults.
The James Bay staff is low key, knowledgeable & very helpful....the location,
just a brisk walk to town, the tourist bureau, shopping, coffee houses,
entertainment, museums, great transportation & with other services...it's old
fashioned, clean, with up to date facilities, early am. coffee, newspapers,
internet 24/7, great food, an English pub...while there's no elevators, it's
manageable for most & has real local flavor....truthfully, I've yet to find
another hotel like The James Bay Inn...anywhere!

5 minutes stroll from the parliament and the famous inner harbour. the rooms are
clean, affordable and big enough but basic. a decor update is due... the
building is in a very cute neighborhood and staff are friendly. Pls avoid having
breakfast in the pub underneath the inn, way overpriced and not good. Overall we
had a lovely stay.

The James Bay Inn has renewed my lease on life as a lover of Victoria.

We went to Victoria for a mini weekend vacation and stayed at the James Bay Inn.
My boyfriend and I did some research online prior to our stay and decided on the
Inn because it sounded like it had lots of charm. It did have the charm but we
missed the basic things you get with a regular hotel...things like more pillows,
towels, hair dryer in the room (you have to ask for one and then you still have
to go down to the front desk and pick it up yourself). The bedspread looked
dated and although I didn't mind this too much, the sink is actually in the
bedroom and not the bathroom. The shower is clean and good shower head/pressure
but the water went hot/cold without any faucets being turned on in the
room...something you don't want when you are taking a shower!
The location is great...easy walk to downtown and also in the a beautiful
neighborhood. The building has a restaurant below it, which was convenient too.
We enjoyed our stay in Victoria but would probably stay at a different hotel
next time...as we enjoy a few more upgrades, however if you just need a place to
stay and prefer the charm to the new amenities...then you may enjoy the Inn!

I would recommend to a friend. The place is a but more of a walk to downtown
then advertised, but do-able. The rooms were immaculately cleaned, in fact we
kept commenting that we'd never seen a bathroom scrubbed so clean. The rooms
varied in size depending in location and some of the smaller rooms were pretty
squished especially if traveling with luggage. We enjoyed our stay and would
return. We especially enjoyed the small sun deck and the large variety in paint
colors on the interior. :-)
