Fulford Harbour Vacation Packages

Amazing location and incredible views! Property was very clean and well-maintained. Staff were very helpful!

Room was bigger than expected.

Firstly, the Days Inn at Uptown Victoria is a motel not hotel as listed. Our rooms were accessed from the outside which made feeling secure a little less. The rooms are dated, with the toilet being small and lower to the ground and the tub very small. The sink was outside of the bathroom and located beside the bed. The bedding was clean but the beds are situated on a metal skirting that made a tin can popping sound every time you moved and the A/C was right beside the one bed making it hard to sleep in because of the air flowing over. There was no way to divert the air so we ended up using only one bed. If you turn off the A/C it got very stuffy. The TV is cable only with one movie channel. This was all easily tolerated but the floors were very dirty, not understanding why our socks were so black. I thought it was from our shoes but it was all around, not just where we walked.

Overall, we had a nice stay! The location is excellent—within walking distance of downtown Victoria and just a block from the waterfront. The area felt very safe, with plenty of restaurants nearby. Although the building entrance is in an alley, it's a well-maintained pedestrian walkway, and the building has good security with keypad access at both the front gate and elevator. The suite is essentially a one-bedroom Airbnb with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and a small balcony overlooking the alley. It was a comfortable size for two people, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches like cold bottled water in the fridge and Netflix on the TV. Our host was friendly, responsive, and kindly allowed us to drop off our bags early at 12pm. A few things to know: because of the nearby restaurants, there was quite a bit of noise on Saturday night from people talking and laughing in the alley until around 1 a.m. The sound echoed, and the walls seemed fairly thin, making it difficult to sleep even with earplugs. Sunday night was much quieter. The blinds also let in a lot of light from the bright alley streetlights, so an eye mask was helpful. Blackout curtains would make a big difference. We also found the central temperature control wasn't very effective, and while the standalone bedroom AC cooled the room well, it was quite loud. If you don't mind bringing earplugs and an eye mask, this is a great place to stay thanks to its fantastic location and welcoming host.

We had a wonderful stay. The breakfast was amazing, the staff were friendly and helpful. Close to The Victoria Clipper so easy to drop our bags before check in and retrieve before boarding the vessel. Definitely will stay here again when visiting Victoria.
