Dalton Hotel and Suites, Victoria

I have to say that after reading the reviews I was a little worried about what the hotel would be like. The staff at the front desk were extremetly nice and helpful. When we saw our room I was a little disapointed as It looked nothing like the pictures on the site. It was very clean but the view was awful..and there was a old radiator heater that was covered by a piece of plywood that kept falling down. We were kept up by the party animals walking on the street and also noisy seagulls. The hotel stairway gave me the creeps and I was scared walking up and down the stairs. i would say that overall I was happy with our hotel choice considering the low cost. I would stay here again.

On the website this hotel looks wonderful. It is actually a horrid little place. Our room was tiny - looking out on office buildings. The porcelain had worn off the tub. The walls were faded and paint was chipped. The door had wood veneer hanging from it. The duvet cover was a cheap imitation velvet. It was the most unpleasant hotel room I've ever been in. All of this for $125.00/night! And we even had to pay extra to park. Wish I'd taken the time to read reviews. At least the staff was friendly and we could spend most of our time in the downtown area.

It was too expensive for a dark and gloomy room with no air-conditioning, no hair dryer, no microwave, no DVD player, poor TV reception and no free parking. It is more of a hostel or motel. I don't understand other awesome reviews about this place...we must have stayed in the worst room of them all!

Great location-close to shopping and restaurants. Hotel area is okay but not sure if we were safe but it was fine. Small parking area;however, off site parking made it inconvenient. Room was very dark with some up grades but could be improved. Bathroom could use improvement as well - towels are pretty worn out. Not much of a selection for the free breakfast. It's okay considering the price is under a $100.

I loved the location of this hotel, it was great for evening walks. I heard it was haunted, which to me was even more exciting... although I did not get to experience anything out of the ordinary. Great Staff, great old hotel.

The room we stayed in was fine, the location was good but what really made the hotel great was the outstanding Front Desk Staff. The room we stayed in was newly remodeled so, that was bonus. But the staff went out of their way to help us. The price was good for downtown. The only complaint was their was no indiviual room heat and cooling control, it was all central. But the front desk brought up a heater and it worked out fine. The staff was great.

We stayed here on reccommendation of a family member for our 1st Anniversary several years ago. When we saw the sad state of the hotel, my first thought was that this family member might be wreaking some sick practical joke or revenge on us. Pretty from the outside, the lobby beckons in an Old World Glamour. On a tight budget we were thrilled that our "package" included breakfast and dinner, both suprisingly good. At the time the adjacent restaurant was brand new and hip, so of this I don't complain. However, imagine our shock when stepping off the elevator we were greeted with torn sheet rock, exposed pipes and an overwhelming urine smell. Our room was not any better. It contained shabby torn curtains, hanging off the rod and a very shabby bedspread, probably dating since the hotel opening. It was horrible. The front desk would not switch us to a new room. Since we were only staying one night, we decided that we could either spend our time looking for a new place, or drink ourselves to oblivion. We chose option #2. Despite that we slept on top of the bedcovers fully clothed because it seemed to filthy to even turn down the sheets. First thing the next day I called the family member who referred us to see if they were mad at us for some reason. Said family member turned around and told their spouse how unhappy we were with the room and immediately heard from the background was "Isn't that the hotel where we found a used condom under the bed?"

the renovations are going to be great and the staff is doing their best to help guests enjoy their stay. New management seems to have really turned around this hotel.

This place is haunted! Old,old, smelly. Holes in walls, Budha statue on the wall. Funny creepy sounds all night.

Upon arival at the hotel we were greeted by a very friendly front desk staff member. He explained to us that the hotel was under renovation and they would not be able to offer the breakfast that we had booked with the meal plan. Instead he offered us an upgrade to a suite. It was a very nice room. The parking was small but never had a problem with it, the dinner was very nice and with the $15 doolar allowance we could get a 2 or 3 course meal and the boxed lunches were good too. When this hotel is finished with its remodeling it will be wonderful but most likely not as economical. I loved my stay in Victoria.
