We received a gift certificate from relatives to stay at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel for one night and we extended it to three to take advantage of favorable fall rates. Our first impressions were fantastic, from the greeting by the outdoor Concierge with helpful hints where to temporarily park to a cheerful welcome by efficient check-in staff.
Our room was spacious and topnotch and we appreciated the very quiet airconditioning and blackout drapes. A small oversight by the housekeeping staff was...

The hotel is just off the main road in Sidney and an easy walk to shops and food. Parking around back is limited, just enough spots for the guests. Inside is very nice, you are treated to snacks and drinks right away, and check in was easy and quick.
The room we stayed in was great, nice size bed, TV (barely used by us) airconditioner we didnt use, just opened the windows. Bath tub is bigger than most of the places I've stayed and was probably my wifes favorite thing about our stay.

What a lovely place to stay! Will definitely be coming back. Hopefully it will be hotter next time so we can swim off the dock. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

No complaints about the property. However, guests are directed to enter the property via Riverside Lane, which is currently a construction site. I heard some "clanging" noise as we drove along the lane and thought nothing more of it. We had a flat tire the morning, thanks to a construction nail, later discovered by the attendant at the tire repair shop.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The waterfront beach location was terrific. Pleasant large, clean room. Have stayed at numerous Best Westerns but this one had the best breakfast by far.

We managed to book one of the few remaining available rooms at Helms. We mentioned a few times while on the ferry that we hope the place is okay. We were definitely surprised and very pleased with location, with our room and with the staff. We will definitely choose this hotel on our next visit.

We had four people in our stay over the recent weekend. There are so many great aspects to the stay, and that makes it very tough to list them all. To start I have to mention the complimentary apples. Every day, without fail, apples. Amd constantly the bowl was refilled. Then the amazing cleanliness of the rooms. Great beds, and towels.
But back to the apples. Grew up on an apple orchard. So this was one of the highlights.
The hotel is so convenient for accessing shops, and so many restaurants....

Staff were very friendly and worked hard to meet our family’s needs during our stay. The rooms were clean and lots of places to plug in devices! Small room but well organized. The best part was the bed. Best hotel sleep I’ve had in a while.

Because I'm an Expedia VIP, the hotel has upgraded our room at no charge. What a great benefit!
The room was huge and has a full-equipped kitchen, mater bedroom and en-suite bath tub. Very clean and the lobby was also nicely decorated. Overall a very good experience at this hotel. Highly recommend for those visiting Victoria downtown. About 5 minute walk to bus stop. Close to Miniature World and 10 minute walk to Fairmont Empress hotel.

The staff were so kind and gave us lots of great suggestions for things to do and see in the area. They also let us check in early which was a great bonus!
The view from our room and beautiful. 10/10. Would definitely stay here again.
