Was this the very 1st Howard Johnson Hotel ever in history?? Sure looked like it. . Smelled like old cooked cabbage. Also, we picked it off the internet, all were comparable prices, but this one said it had a bay view and we figured that was the clincher. When we arrived, late and tired, we asked if they HAD a bay view prior to 2 new hotels built in front of them. Answer was yes. Internet has not updated, I repeat internet has NOT BEEN UPDATED.
I am not likely
to return to the Howard Johnson Hotel Victoria.
I would not recommend it to friends.
A pleasant stay. Clean room and quite good food in the adjoining pub. A bit noisy in the parking lot only when the pub emptied. Close to the main cycling path to the city centre; about 10 minutes. Certainly good value.

We picked this hotel based on cost but it was not at all worth it. The rooms are small and just seemed run down. The property does not give off the feel of security at all..there are signs everywhere advising to watch for people in the dark/hidden...

Horrible
Our room was so stuffy and smelled so badly of mold. If you looked on the ceiling in the bathroom you could see all the mold. The walls were cracked and the floors were dirty. The carpet was stained so badly that I refused to take my shoes off.

The manager "upgraded" us to a suite. When we got into the room, it smelled like rotting fish. We turned on the loud AC unit hoping it would go away and left to explore the city. We came back with the smell seemingly gotten worst. Called the front desk to request for another room and immediately and quite arrogantly informed us that they're completely booked with no apologies for the discomfort we were experiencing nor were any options given. Instead, he pretty much blamed it on us for waiting for a long time between the time we checked in and the time I was calling and that they would not be able to sell the room anymore by that time. I felt like this was a really bad customer service, that is, he's more concerned about the room not getting sold over the customer's discomfort. Only after I gave my comments back to him did he suggest that I speak with the manager the next day. Also, the bathroom smelled like they were cleaned with rags soaked in urine. And when I took out a pan to boil water, the pan still had food crust in it. The sink still had bits of bacon meats in it and there were only 3 TV stations at the most that were actually viewable. The electrical outlets are so bad that my phone charger plugs kept falling off of it. I've stayed in discount hotels before but never with this type of experience. Stay out of this Hotel!!!! For another 10-20 bucks, you can get a better and enjoyable place to stay and enjoy your vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This place is old. When I first walked in, the musty room smell almost knocked me over. My asthmatic daughter reached for her inhailer several times. Despite Triple A requirements for smoke detectors, (or fire extinguishers) in every room, this room ...
