Hotel Grand Pacific

Hotel Grand Pacific

6/10 Okay
"Room was clean, housekeeping responsive with towels blankets pillows. Had room service but was dinner not breakfast. Did not try hot tub nor did I have a jetted tub. Please note that you may want to ask this location to make sure you do not have a room with mixed up TV channels as the guide is inaccurate and there were only 2 basic channels with tons of commercials. So may want to ask and think about this one if you have kids. We had a double queen with balcony. "

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Victoria hotel. If you’re seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalized atmosphere and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could potentially help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but with Victoria's outstanding public transportation options, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen on exploring alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value for money. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
