Victoria Travel Forum

My wife and I are buying a townhouse but it won't be ready till Oct 15th. We arrive at the end of this month, so we need to find a place for 1.5 months. Do you guys know of any motels/inns/b&b's at or under $1000/mo or even a place to rent which has no lease? We found 2 inn's so far but not sure if they're any good. One is the Oxford Castle Inn and the other is Red Lion Inn.

Thanks!

I would post on Craigslist.org (the Victoria page, obviously) before staying at either of those hotels. I checked some of the listings on the site and found

http://www.thewoodbury.com
http://www.bbvictoria.ca
http://suitedreamsinn.ca/ (no bus access)

Honestly, if I were you I would just start calling around to B&Bs and asking about monthly rates. It would be a lot nicer than staying in either of the hotels you have listed above.

Thanks for your suggestions. I had a look and they were either too pricey or too far from where we'll need to be.

I'll keep looking. May just go for the Oxford Castle Inn since it does look ok

Red Lion has a strip club attached. It's ghetto.

Yeah, heard bad things about Red Lion.. maybe not.

But Oxford Castle has a reasonable extended stay rate for Sept and Oct.
