Great Hotel for Family Vacations

The Embassy Inn was perfect for our family vacation! Our suite was large which gave us lots of room to sleep, play, and eat. The free breakfast had a lot of variety and made it easy first thing in the morning. Although we didn't end up using it, I was really happy the hotel had coin laundry available for guests. The location was perfect - a short walk from lots of restaurants, tourist sites, and Beacon Hill Park. Also, the folks we dealt with in person were really helpful. The hotel is a little older, and the kitchen in our suite was not very well equipped and had almost zero counter space, but this would not stop me from booking again in the future. I also wish that the parking was not $20 a night, but I know this is fairly commonplace these days. Overall I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others, especially those travelling with small children.

Comfortable and extremely convenient location. The room was clean, the breakfast had everything I could want and more! Every day the hot items were a little different! It is definitely an older hotel with dated carpets, older air conditioner and lacking a pool/gym, but it’s perfect for me!

Convenient, quiet, comfortable, great free breakfast. Kingsize bed was a little too soft and they offered a queen bed room but it was also soft so we stayed with the king. Highly recommend this hotel as we are long time vacationers in Victoria and haveb stayed at many different harbour front hotels.

Excellent value well located hotel

We had a suite which was very comfortable, with a door to a verandah for fresh air. The included buffet breakfast is excellent. There are lounge areas to relax. General access to a computer and printer is available to print travel documents. It is an easy walk to restaurants, the waterfront, Parliament House, shopping and the museum which is highly recommended. The Seattle Ferry terminal is a short walk. We had some deer enjoy the grass outside the hotel one evening.
