At a glance:

The Marriott Victoria Inner Harbour is a full service hotel located in downtown Victoria, within walking distance of many popular attractions and activities.

Room:  Guest room, 1 King, City view, Mid floor

Time of year: winter

Scores:

Hotel Design: 72 – Standard and basic.

Location: 91 – Close to the harbor and other downtown attractions.

Sleep: 71 – Comfortable bedding, but between room soundproofing was not very good. Adjoining rooms are even worse when it comes to soundproofing.

Service:  75 – No issues but nothing special either.

Room Design: 70 – Renovated to current Marriott standards, with the exception of the bathroom (it feels like you are walking into another hotel).

Room Amenities: 73 – As expected for the brand. Some rooms offer balconies, but ours did not.

Hotel Amenities: 71 – As expected for the brand, but the gym is very dated, and the pool area is very small.

Vibe: 70 – Cookie cutter Marriott, with a partial renovation.

Cleanliness / Maintenance: 80 – Above average. No issues.

Value/ Extras & Perks: 74 – Pricey for the brand, but to be expected (especially during peak summer months). Lounge for Marriott Elite members, with average offerings. The space feels a little bit of an afterthought.

OVERALL: 76.5

Would we stay again? Yes, but we would also consider other options.
