Stayed at the Sandman Hotel in Victoria for a short trip. The location is decent not far from downtown and accessible by car. However, the hotel itself is showing its age. The carpet in the room and hallways is noticeably worn, and there was a lingering odour throughout the corridors that made the experience less pleasant. Room was clean enough, but overall, the property could use a refresh.

Loved the hand held faucet in the shower in addition to the rain shower. Room was big and comfortable and the physical location of the Sandman was ideal being on the Trans Canada and only 2 blocks off Hwy 17 going to the airport, Butchart, etc. Would stay again

Wouldn’t stay again.

Common areas and overall condition quite run down. Rooms are renovated and spacious. Free outdoor and garage parking available. Lobby didn’t feel welcoming enough, had this weird grease odour. Location of right off the main road, pretty accessible by car but the surrounding area would not be the safest neighborhood to walk around. Expected more for the price.

Room was good, main bed was good, secondary bed (the pull out) was covered in sand. Unfortunately, we discovered that quite late at night. So that took away from the experience. The front desk was notified and they were apologetic the next day!
