The Inn and the room were clean. We were there when there was a big snow dump. The parking lot was icy with the slop which making parking was a challenge and unsafe. Overall, I am happy with my stay. I would recommend the Inn.

This is my second time staying at the Arbutus Inn. Much like my first stay, I found the room to be immaculately clean. The bathroom was obviously recently renovated, with very modern and elegant finishes. The front desk staff were very friendly and efficient. If you’re looking for a comfortable place to spend a few nights in central Victoria, I highly recommend the Arbutus Inn.

I love that the ground floor is laid out so well. So easy for us to get to our room. We liked the fact that the ground floor opens up into the main reception area were there are staff members to greet you. The staff is ready to assist in getting a taxi etc. etc. Knowledgeable about the area which is also nice. The only thing we found odd is that there were no telephone books anywhere to be found....kind of funny actually. Great stay!

Its a simple place. Here is your bed. Keep clean and the staff super kind. I did notice noise problems with lots of slamming doors from other units. I turned the fan on for white noise. But, i felt like even a youtube video on my phone would disrupt an adjacent unit. Its an old building but id happily come again to visit my child. Thank you!
