The hosts, Mark and Carolyn, were very welcoming, accommodating and helpful. They assisted us with an early check in, arranged dinner and even drove us to the airport for an early flight the next morning. The room was very spacious and comfortable, with separate access. The Inlet was close to the airport and in a quiet, leafy area close to the water. Beautiful setting.

Everything was wonderful! Couldn't fault our stay here, and the host Karey was wonderful too, 11/10

This was a lovely place in a great location - far enough from noise, crowds and the bustle of a city hotel, but close enough - a very short drive in fact - to reach these places. We visited the Butchart Gardens (a 10 min drive) and went whale watching in Victoria - slightly longer of a driver but certainly easy to do as part of your day. I don't have any negative comments about the location or the accommodation.

The room I was given had a step down as soon as you entered the room before you could turn on a light. There was a sign on the outside of the door - saying watch your step - never did I think it was a step just inside the room at the doorway - yes I did fall a few times - not hurt but could have been - really a dumb/stupid entrance to a room!!!
Secondly, nobody at the motel told me at check in or ever that the room was ONLY serviced once every 3 days!!
I went to the desk to complain when I had no coffee for 2 days - that's when I found out - unbelievable!!!

The host and hostess, Mark and Carolyn were so interesting and we enjoyed chatting and visiting with them. Each morning we had a "gourmet" breakfast. The room and bathroom were very spacious and comfortable. The whole experience was wonderful and relaxing.

Saanichton and the whole Saanich Peninnsula are great places to travel. There are many walking trails up small 'mountains', lovely forested park areas, lakes and the ocean. There are eagles and great blue herons to watch and photograph, often deer and their fawns in the spring (drive slowly--below not above the speed limits. There are several botanical gardens, some that cost money to enter but several that don't. Great restaurants to suit every taste & mood--Thai, European, Indian-- seaside elegant & forest cozy, good bookstores and art stores as well as local markets with lots of local crafts. Cars, bikes, & buses get you around over fairly large areas.

A nice little area within Victoria city limits, which allowed for exploration of the area's both within the city and nearby without having too drive to far in either direction. I highly recommend not staying at the Super 8 though.
Super clean, quiet room on the back of the property. Although the property was full we never heard anything !
Front desk called after we were settled in to ensure we were happy with our room etc. Great genuine customer service !
We chose this hotel because it was dog friendly and we are so happy we did. The yard had a pet friendly area equipped with bags and a trash bin.
Looking forward to returning to this property!
This was a great “middle” hotel option between the Ferry @ Swartz Bay and Downton Victoria. Quick access to Butchart Gardens, Kayaking and local eateries. Simple to hop on the freeway and head to Victoria (about 20 minutes). Room was updated with modern amenities. I loved the blend of styles between the history of “The Waddling Dog” and modern comfort!
A modern-cottage feel!
We were greeted immediately upon approaching the desk by friendly staff. The room was spacious and clean, and the bed was comfortable. As the breakfast room was still closed due to covid, the hotel still provided hot breakfast sandwich options, along with juice, muffins and yogurt. This was our second time staying here, and both times we had a great experience.
What a beautiful and peaceful location! Loved swimming in the pool, playing fetch with the dogs, and breakfast overlooking the water and forest with mountains in the background. So quiet at night falling asleep to the garden fountain. We enjoyed hiking in nearby John Dean Park and kayaking in Brentwood Bay. And of course Butchart Gardens are not to be missed.
We were up too early for breakfast, but the hotel had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was extensive, the bathroom was a bit small, but overall the room was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. All in all, it was much better than I expected.
It was a very pretty hotel very clean nice staff. A little pricey but most Hotels are. The benefit to this place was the substantial breakfast included. Which made the price quite a bit better. The staff in the breakfast room were exceptional.
Breakfast was excellent!!! There was 3 of us and they even had a comfy cott for us cuz we all like our own bed. Waddling dog pub connected to the hotel had excellent food.
The staff were lovely and the room very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was included and was excellent. I will recommend it to anyone and return to this hotel again.
I chose this hotel for its proximity to the ferry and Butchart Gardens. The hotel itself exceeded my expectations. It is the best Quality Inn we have stayed in.
