Fairmont Empress
Spacious well appointed room. Comfortable bed but came home with bruised shins from repeatedly hitting bed frame. Best location near attractions, shops and restaurants. Disappointed both pool and hot tub closed for renovations. Would have booked elsewhere had we known. Wonderful staff.

Victoria Regent Waterfront Hotel & Suites
The hotel and area were wonderful. The only downside was navigating the one way streets and finding the hotel parkade.
