Blue Ridge Inn, Victoria

If you have children or are allergic to smoke or mildiew do not stay at this place. We booked a non smoking room. There was a non smoking sign on the door when we walked in but the smell of smoke and mustiness was awful. During the night the smoke got even worse. I walked along the front of the building to make sure that the rooms around me were non smoking as well before I called the front desk. The top floor was all non smoking except for one room located between two non smoking rooms...figure that. Also, when I booked the room the internet ad stated that the room was equipped with hair dryers,,, you guessed it - no hair dryer. I had to buy one. There also was no iron or ironing board.

It was quiet and with very clean rooms with a very convient location to find your way around Victoria and for my medical appointments. Was easy to find restraunts for meail and shopping and easy to get back to the motel. I have stayed at this motel for the last two years every six months and will return again.

Nice staff, but they told me they "relocated" me to a new room shortly before arrival. I was travelling alone, so they probably gave my nicer room to a family or couple. My room across from the office was nothing special. In fact, it was one of the noisiest rooms I've ever stayed in. Not because of its proximaty to the street, but because you could hear every step the other guests made, in rooms above you and beside you. I think the utility room was next to mine as well, as you start hearing alot of banging from workers doing laundry at around 8:30am.

We stayed during Spring break. Great location just 5 minutes from Victoria downtown and across from a Mall. Recently renovated rooms and very quite and clean. Well worth for what you pay. Great family Inn, would for sure stay there again.
