We didn't stay overnight at this location. We four visited the Waddling Dog for lunch and were surprised to see that they had a $9.99 breakfast buffet. All 5 of us opted for that option until we toured the offerings available. We have had better meals at hotels that include breakfast in their room rates. The two men had the... More

We booked the Waddling Dog because it was close to Victoria Airport and w'd heard good reports. The hotel was nicely situated and was full of beautiful antiques. The room was large but the heating/air conditioning unit was very loud and kept turning on and off. We finally turned the unit totally off but the room got very cold and... More

Rooms were mediocre. They were relatively roomy, and I think after that there is not much that I would compliment. The cooling/heating unit was really loud and couldn't keep the temperature consistent. I had to wake up several times during the night to adjust the temperature and keep the kids from either freezing or overheating. Bathroom shower had some grime... More

Nice rooms, clean, friendly people, very quiet. Very helpful when I checked in; the person who checked me out was not as friendly but there were off and on power outages because of the storm and she was having trouble with her computer. VERY comfortable beds. Nice touch was a card that allowed you to circle an item if there... More

This property is convenient to the Pat Bay highway to/from the ferries in Sidney. It's decor is unique, ersatz Tudor. The furnishings include older furniture and antiques. The breakfast was continental - no hot food other than that made with hot water. We did not look at the attached restaurant. It advertises a Sunday buffet at a reasonable price. A... More

Once again readers, I thrilled with my stay in a small "Inn" which offered me everything I needed at a very reasonable rate. Food, parking, great Internet, breakfast in the morning, comfortable bed and spotless bathroom. Yes there are newer hotels close by but the Quality Inn Waddling Dog offers travelers a true "inn" experience. A room that has charm! More

Waddling Dog is a treat in our view. Yes the "residents' lounge" furniture is worn -- and there are 2 or three patterns in sight at any given time. Feels like grandpa's in Hertford England! (complete with basset hound.) We have family living around the corner and they join us in the evening; we have dinner in the hotel and... More
