Arrived early and they got us into a great room that was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and with a kitchenette to boot. The complimentary breakfast was freshly prepared and delicious. The clean and quiet location is 2 blocks from the ferry, across the street from the parliament building, and a couple minute walk to the downtown and other attractions. I will absolutely stay at the Embassy again whenever I am in the area.

"Great, comfortable, beautiful"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 15, 2013
Our family of 4 (including two children under 5) plus a Grandma and Uncle stayed at the Parkside for three nights while visiting Victoria. We had a two bedroom suite. It doesn't get more comfortable than this place. Beautiful full kitchen, large dining area, balcony, two beautiful bathrooms, gas fireplaces in master bedroom and living room. Beautiful lobby and pool as well. We loved it! Our one and only complaint is that the laundry facility in the room was a combined washer/dryer. It took us several attempts to figure out how to use it and then after trying to dry a load of clothes for 2 days, we finally gave up. We also read every page of the lengthy instruction manual and still didn't get it. If you have a baby like us and need to wash clothes, you'll probably have to hang dry them unless our machine was broken or we just couldn't figure out what we were doing wrong. Despite that we will stay here again for sure! Awesome place.
"A Proposal to Remember"
Despite having a major setback when our flight from Seattle to Victoria was cancelled, a private shuttle from the hotel to the Butchart Gardens, a bottle of sparkling white wine, an incredibly comfortable couple of rooms, a wonderful breakfast in the dining room made proposing to my girlfriend the best memory I could give her. I highly recommend this […] hotel for anyone visiting the Butchart Gardens. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa There's nothing we won't do to make your stay memorable. Thank you for making our Resort such a very special place for you both and we hope to have you back, perhaps for an Anniversary, your wedding or just because.

"Gem of a property"
Visited the Brentwood Bay in late July 2010 for 3 nights. Excellent experience from the friendly and attentive front desk staff to our departure. Experienced full range of services from restaurant, to room service, to the spa, to ecotours. Even met the owner! All extremely positive! Highly recommend the property! Note, it is tucked away in a residential […] neighborhood and next to a ferry landing, which is a little visually confusing initially, but quickly blends into the experience.

"A lovely, relaxing escape with easy access to Victoria"
The hotel is beautiful - small and intimate. It's a great spot to escape the city and has easy access to Buchart Gardens, Victoria and the surrounding areas. We biked to Butchart Gardens and it was an easy ride. The neighborhood is quiet and there are many outlets to the water. Very nice amenities in the room like candles, linen spray, etc. We were […] sorry to see our trip end. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Top Notch accomodation, service and view!"
From the moment we stepped into the hotel, greeted by Brandy, I knew our stay would be amazing! Great food in lounge, amazing sushi, great walk near the water, superb views, and the room was clean, comfy, and everything you could ask for! The fireplace created a romantic atmosphere, the tv was new and great to watch the movie on, and when you wake up, […] you will not be disappointed by the quiet, beautiful view!! I would, and will go back!! You will not be disappointed, chose this hotel over Victoria if you are there to unwind and have romance! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Rooms are great....Restuarants not so great"
My husband and i stayed here for our anniversary. The hotel itself is beautifully contructed. When we checked in, we were offered a glass of sparkling wine each which was a nice touch. The front desk staff brought us to our room and explained a few things to us...like how to operate the fireplace, heating,ect. We loved the jacuzzi tub and the fact that […] there was some nice bath salts, soap, chapsticks,cookies,ect that where complimentary and where all products from their spa.Our only complaint in the room was that the mattress had a zipped up protector on it that felt like you where sleeping on plastic...somewhat uncomfortable. Pillows could have been a little fluffier too. Other then that we injoyed our room. Unfortunately I can not recommend the restuarants at the hotel. My husband ate the halibut and I had the salmon dish...both where VERY dry. Later we had mussles at their pub and was very fishy tasting..not much flavor at all. Very expensive food and poor quality. We ordered room service for breakfast the following morning...breakfast was pretty good....although they forgot our pot of coffee, cream, butter and ketchup so we had to call them back to our room...no discount for their mishap. I would recommend eating elsewhere if you are staying at this hotel...although im not sure if there is much in the selection of restuarants that are decent out in Brentwood Bay. Do your research! On a good note...all the staff in the hotel and restaurants where very friendly and helpful Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Great night away"
We reserved a one bedroom suite with a hot tub on the balcony. Unfortunately the hot tub would not heat up which was very disappointing. Other then that we loved everything.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa Thank you for taking the time to write a review. My sincere apologies for the inconvenience with your hot tub, did maintenance go to remedy the situation, or was a room move recommended right away?

"Better than I imagined. Amazing value."
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Brentwood Bay Resort for our one year dating anniversary and it was even more impressive than the website's pictures made it look. Our room was incredibly spacious and comfortable. We had a beautiful ocean view from the balcony where we ate our breakfast. Although, we didn't get to enjoy the pool, it looked lovely. The […] staff were kind and helpful. The only reason I didn't give it 5/5 for every category is that staff entered our room, despite a do-not-disturb sign on the door, to collect dinner trays. We plan on visiting again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Response by Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa Thank you for sharing such a special occasion with us! Happy One Year Anniversary. Our heated outdoor pool and hot tub are open 365 days a year for your enjoyment, with pool side service. The pool and hot tub are also lit with ambient lighting in the evening for your relaxation pleasure. Don't forget your swimsuits!
"All-round Excellence!"
One of the best properties we have ever stayed at. Extremely attentive and professional staff; luxurious rooms; fantastic food; and clean and well-maintained facilities. We were impressed with the attention to detail, including free long distance calling within N. America; free wifi; reasonably priced mini-bar ($4.50 beer; $1.50 pop!!!); and a basket […] of fresh towels, etc. left outside the room when we left the "Do Not Disturb" sign on. We ate all meals at the resort because the food was so good. Having access to the sea kayaks was an added bonus we had not expected. We can't say enough about this resort.

Response by Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa We're delighted with what you have said, thanks! We are happy expectations were exceeded when visiting us and yes, the complimentary parking, wifi, calls within North America, room service delivery and reasonably priced mini-fridge items all add up to be very reasonable. In the case that you do have a privacy sign on your door, we don't want you to run shy of any comforts you may need so we supply you with a "privacy basket" full of goodies to replenish items you may have already used.

"Highly recommended"
I stayed here with my girlfriend for 2 nights, and it was the best getaway experience we have ever had. Gorgeous hotel with superb view. Hotel is kept in excellent condition despite the fact that it has been in service for 7 years. Private balcony (2nd floor) provides you with a beautiful scene of the harbor while having breakfast. I also like how they […] have candles placed across the room, creating a romantic scene no matter if you are cuddling while watching movies or bathing in their air massage-equipped tub.

"An excellent anniversary get-away!"
I was thrilled to see the winter rate for this high quality hotel and was even happier upon arriving!

"Fabulous Couple's Retreat"
If you and your partner are looking for a very intimate weekend (or longer...) away to reconnect in a beautiful part of the country you need to check this place out! The rooms are great, the spa is excellent, service superb and the restaurants are fantastic. If you are looking for lots of excitement beyond the resort or the ultimate family vacation, […] this may not be your best choice as the area is pretty quite. But, if you are looking to reconnect with someone special at a high quality spot and relax until can't relax anymore, this is THE place to go. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Wonderful Resort and Spa. Food was amazing. Beautiful room and building with pub and restaurant, outdoor pool and hot tub. Definitely recommend it for a couple get away, business and or families. Restaruant service and food was exceptional. Unfortunately their restaurant coffee was not good. They need to change that. Also, the coffee in the room was […] really bad-weak and tasteless. I don't know why these hotels are going with these little plastic portion coffee makers...Fitness room was a joke. About as big as my bathroom and you have to walk outside and down to the marina to get there. To get to the bathroom from gym, you have to go outside, around the corner. weird. for a spa, they dropped the ball on fitness. otherwise, you should go! very central and quiet too. I will go back.

"Lovely resort"
The location if you are NOT driving is really inconvenient and out of the way. The resort is right on a marina and the views are spectacular. The service is impeccable and the staff are warm, friendly and very professional. The rooms are nice and comfy but i was not a fan of the bed frame as i hurt myself on it just about each time i got in/out of bed. […] The heated floors in the bathroom are a pleasant touch :-) The seagrille has wonderful dishes albeit pricey, but i spose that's to be expected in a hotel like this... I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to relax in a serene, upscale, out-of-the-way kinda place with excellent amenities and great value for the bucks you're paying.
