The 126-room, all-suite Parkside Hotel & Spa is a super chic and sustainable upscale property with a full-service spa, gym, bar and cafe, small private movie theater, rooftop garden, and lobby atrium with greenery and a pond. The hotel's modern multi-room suites feel like private apartments and include fully equipped kitchenettes, sitting areas with electric fireplaces, and furnished balconies. The hotel is situated at the southern edge of downtown Victoria, so it's within walking distance to downtown and the inner harbor. Its biggest drawbacks? No air-conditioning and a charge for breakfast. Guests looking for air-conditioning and a harbor view may want to consider the Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort & Spa, though it tends to be a bit pricier.

Occupying a 1930s Tudor revival-style mansion, Abigail's Hotel is a small, mid-range heritage inn decorated in a rustic, romantic style that makes it an attractive alternative to generic chain hotels. The 23 rooms were renovated in 2014 and come equipped with luxurious amenities such as flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, fireplaces, and whirlpool baths. A three-course breakfast is included in the room rates, as are evening appetizers. Parking and Wi-Fi are also free. However, the hotel has a strict adults-only policy, with only children above the age of 13 allowed to stay. Guests wanting a comparably priced hotel that allows kids may want to check out the four-pearl Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour, which also has a swimming pool, a spa, and a restaurant.

The 103-room, mid-range Best Western Plus Carlton Plaza Hotel is exceptionally well-located in downtown Victoria. This clean property is just a two-minute walk from City Hall and less than a 15-minute walk to the Inner Harbor. It's an excellent price for the location, though the decor is somewhat generic, chain-hotel fare. Rooms are clean and comfortable, though, with mini-fridges, Keurig coffeemakers, and flat-screen TVs. The hotel has a full-service restaurant on-site, a drab but functional fitness center, and a 24-hour front desk. Closer to the Inner Harbor, the mid-range Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites offers more elegant decor and an indoor pool, though is pricier than the Best Western.

The four-and-a-half-pearl Oak Bay Beach Hotel offers luxurious accommodations and a spectacular oceanfront setting, though some may find its traditional decor dated and a tad stuffy. But there's a lot to like about this hotel, with an impressive lineup of amenities including gourmet dining, a classic British pub, an on-site theater, and a heated outdoor pool and mineral baths. There's also a full-service spa with a steam room and fitness center, but it’s small and sparsely equipped. The hotel's 100 guest rooms are elegant and spacious, and many have panoramic bay views from private balconies or patios. Marble bathrooms are a highlight, with heated floors and separate soaking tubs. Travelers looking for an upscale property that's closer to downtown Victoria can check out Inn at Laurel Point.

The 55-room Sidney Pier Hotel is a top-of-the-line boutique that offers a full-service spa, well-received seasonal restaurant, and a happening lounge. All rooms have simple but sleek decor with attractive furnishings and comfortable bedding, but the extra space and views of the water from the Signature Pier Suites make them worth the upgrade. Bathrooms are modern from top to bottom, from the sleek fixtures to the toiletries, which are locally made body washes and shampoos stored in eco-friendly dispensers. The location in the heart of the area's shops and activities is hard to beat.

The Best Western in Sidney is a typical chain hotel in most ways: Rooms are clean but bland, all rooms have microwaves and mini-fridges, and it is just a short drive from the airport. It does not have a pool, and there is no free breakfast, but the grounds are well-kept, rooms have free Wi-Fi, and guests receive a discount at the on-site restaurant. All in all, it's a good value, within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and the ferry docks.

This upper-middle-range property is more of a low-key beachfront retreat than a typical resort, despite its name. Guests love the hotel’s location for its surrounding natural beauty and direct access to a stretch of Mackenzie Beach, but reaching downtown Tofino and its attractions requires a car. Common areas through the mostly-renovated property are clean and fairly modern, and although the 85 rooms and suites are generic where decor is concerned, they come with microwaves, ocean-view balconies, Keurig coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi. A gym, plus two outdoor hot tubs offer additional on-site activities. Food options are mediocre, as one eatery is only open seasonally, and breakfast isn’t included with rates. The nearby Long Beach Lodge Resort offers similar amenities and rooms, so it's worth a price comparison check.
