Thank you

Normally I would not pursue a hotel near an airport for even an overnight stay - I prefer B&Bs or…read moresmall hotels in an area of interest. However, in choosing a place to overnight on my way home from Quadra Island, BC, I found Beacon Inn. It is a lovely, Edwardian style inn built in 2000 with modern finishes. It is the area's only Canada Select 5-Star accommodation. The Victoria BC airport is actually in Sidney, up the peninsula, which is a very pretty small town on the sea. Communication ~ all done via email, perfect and timely Rate ~ fair for my choice of room (third floor, no elevator) @ $166 with all taxes Location ~ just outside the commercial area of Sidney and it is easy to find Service ~ they offer an evening sherry in the lobby along with tea and coffee station, lemon water and snacks in the dining room. There is a binder of menus in the lobby. Room ~ stunning in decor: a high bed, flat screen TV, free Wifi, electric FP, windows that open for a breeze, portable air exchanger and a large bath with spa soaking tub, glass shower and full array of Nourish bath products. (see photo) Food ~ I am certain that their "gourmet" breakfast was just that, but my flight to Seattle left at 9 am and I had to return a rental car. They offer two seatings - 8:00 am and 9:15 am - neither of which I could enjoy given my schedule. I was pleased to take their Grab N Go from the fridge, described as "scrumptious." But it consisted of only a Red Delicious apple, a tiny piece of cheddar cheese, a chocolate candy, a tiny raisin muffin and a juice box. I was disappointed since part of the price of a room includes breakfast and this was less than comparable. The kitchen did not even offer a styro or other take-away cup for coffee. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. I would highly recommend this inn if you are staying near the airport or visiting Victoria, just 30 minutes away. There are a few tourist sites within an easy drive of Sidney as well.

I wanted to like this place but booking through Orbitz led to a disastrous experience. When you…read morecheck into a hotel, you want it to be smooth and easy, but this was quite the opposite. First, the parking and registration is not so easy. If you're carrying luggage, be prepared to wheel it down a windy path toward a the reception door. When we were asked for a travel voucher, to which we presented the Orbitz reservation number; however this was not reflected in any reservation for The Latch Inn. They were also booked with no availability, so we had to find other lodging accommodations. We called to ask for an earlier check in since the Orbitz reservation indicated check in only from 4:00pm - 6:00pm. But at 3:15pm there was no answer at The Latch Inn, so we left a message. At 6:10pm a representative from The Latch Inn called us to ask what the message was because she could not find our reservation. Bad experience with Orbitz and with this situation. I am open to management response.

There were two gentlemen working there - not sure if they were brothers or not, but they were overwhelmed with the breakfast service. While the food was very good, the service was painfully slow - plan for in excess of one hour for breakfast, even if there are only 3-4 other tables. When I think of an Inn, I anticipate a caretaker with a lot of knowledge of the area. The two men working had a huge language barrier thus we stuck with the basic communication. And yes, you will hear your immediate neighbors very clearly.

"You will not be getting a refund in this universe, and we are I hear you are looking for a refund, and this will NOT happen in this lifetime!" then they hung up. They claimed the room was unrentable after we had left the property, see the attached "evidence" of the mess we left! We had some food when we checked in, used the bathroom, and left as soon as we saw the BED BUGS! My only regret is not taking photos of the bedbugs. ZERO STARS, and TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

That's what COVID and inflation are doing to traveling. And people not willing to work anymore. It's a shame. So you can get cheap flights on Lynx Air but then the cost of car rental (gas) and hotels makes traveling very expensive now. You really need to have friends in places you want to travel. Home sharing may be the way for future travel.

And when I say excellent price I mean about $100 a night, so yeah pretty great for 4 people. Plus there was a complimentary breakfast and free wifi, all included! There was supposed to be a free shuttle from the port where we came in to the hotel, however when we called to confirm that they apologized saying the shuttle runs to the airport instead of the port at the time we needed it. So what did they do? They called a cab for us, and PAID OUR CAB FAIRE. Now that's service. Everyone was extremely courteous and friendly. In our room, the phone didn't work because of an old cable, and when we told the desk they switched it out for us immediately, no problem. Their continental breakfast was surprisingly varied, although don't expect a Hilton line up. It was filling and plenty tasty. The room was clean and pleasant, with a very nice TV with a huge channel selection and like I said, FREE no-strings-attached WIFI. Finally, after leaving the hotel, a concierge chased us all the way to the port attempting to return a book that he thought we had left behind. I have never received such excellent service, well anywhere really, before this. I recommend this hotel 100%, 10/10 would stay at again. The town it's in is quaint and very pretty too. The pub next door however? Definitely pass on that.

You may find yourself in the wrong suite, rented out to another person, because he is so disingenuous, leaving notes on the managers door directing you to the wrong suite. Darren Tomlin is unprofessional, negligent and a crass individual of poor upbringing.

Almost $300 for a travelodge seems onerous but that seems to be the going rate all over the place unfortunately. I arrived at about 7 pm and there are no restaurants open in Sydney. I was told this is a retirement community and everything shuts down early (it's a Wednesday night). The front desk staff were super nice and directed me to the grocery store behind the hotel to get food. I wouldn't stay here if everything else hadn't been sold out. I wanted to be close to the airport so it's convenient. It's old but clean and the courtyard with the pool was great to eat outside. No conditioner is provided and the towels are old and thin. The rooms have a microwave, fridge, and a coffee machine. Also breakfast is available I'll try it in the am.
