“Don't stay if you are concerned with fitness”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

person found this review helpful

I had to stay here for business, and being winter here, was captive. So, the exercise room takes on added importance. The (non-recumbant) bike they had was ancient, rust dripping off the exposed parts. Gears like a meat grinder. Then it would throw out of gear almost breaking my leg. Of course, there was only one bike. Tried the stair climber and it started grinding too, so gave up. Did calisthenics in my room. Pool is designed for kids. Strange thing is they seem to have lots of business meeting rooms; why not design the hotel for adults too?

“Disappointed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here after a very positive experience with Victoria Inn in Brandon. Unfortunately it was a terribly busy Labour day week-end, and lot of families with children stayed perhaps thanks to he pool and water slides. The room was comfortable and spacious. Unfortunately our night was disrupted by a brawl in the corridor that went on for and hour, guests slamming doors and swearing at each other.
After paying 150 dollars for a double room we were not impressed that we could chose only one item from the menu for the included breakfast. As we did not wish to have any greasy sausage etc. but wanted a toasted bagel we had to pay for the fruit cup as they were 2 items, though less valuable than the freely offered cooked dishes.
We noticed an ad in a brochure about this hotel that they offer free entrance vouchers to Fort William. We had to ask for it, but then we received it. That made our stay more affordable - and Fort William is certainly a place worth visiting.
We had an excellent dinner at the Japanese restaurant across the road.

Thank you very much for the favorable review. I am glad that you enjoyed the new beds. We have now replaced all the mattresses and box springs in the hotels. We have also added 26 Junior King Suites to the mix. All the rooms now have 37” flat screen televisions or larger as well. We have now started to convert the entrance into the rooms and the bathrooms. This renovation is making the bathrooms larger and adding a second sink and vanity area for guest comfort. I am please that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

“Family Friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

We stayed at the Victoria Inn over a two week period in one of their Family Suites. We were very impressed by the hotel and hotel restaurant staff; everyone was friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and well appointed. The hotel is conveniently located beside a 24hr grocery store and across the street from a drugstore and several restaurants. The pools were fantastic (love the waterslide)!The only drawback would be the noise from the pool, but overall, a great stay.

Thank you very much for taking time to review our property. I am glad that you enjoyed your extended stay in the Family Suite as the extra space from the second room and the patio access make a longer stay much more comfortable. I am glad you enjoyed the pool area and hope you were able to enjoy the Wii in the children’s area and the complimentary DVD’s at the front desk. I am very pleased to hear that the staff was attentive and helpful and your comments will be posted in our staff areas. Anytime a staff member is mentioned by name they are rewarded for their actions through our internal rewards program. Again thank you and I hope we will have the pleasure of hosting you again soon.
