Hotel Zed

Pros: Fun motel with family focus. Was quite for our stay in the back window facing dealership side. I could see the front being really loud with construction going on at the Mall. Room was clean and serviced well. Pool, Jacuzzi and Bikes are fun elements for the kids.

Cons: The reason I was okay being away from waterfront was because of the shuttle but the shuttle is not really useful for out of town tourist. VW bus are cool but can accommodate only six people at a time. Their timings are 9 AM to 8 PM. Eight is too early I felt for a tourist to head back to hotel IMO Returning from downtown you have to call the hotel to schedule a pickup which could be a problem if your phone doesn't work in Canada. Anyhow BC Transit compensated for it well with 5$ all day pass.You can use the same ticket for Butchart garden no need to pay for expensive tour operators.

Great value

Pros: There were many options available for recreation at the hotel, including pool/sauna/hottub, ping pong tables, video game, bored games, music stations, bike and long board rentals. There were shuttles as well and location was awesome. Good restaurant on location. Beds were comfy.

Cons: Having to carry luggage up stairs.

A hidden gem

Pros: Design, free bike rental, price, great collaboration with the restaurant, and the free pool

Cons: Sound proof is weak (but tolatable)

Transformation of an older motel

Pros: Funky colors, excellent service, surprising rooms

Cons: Two floor complex so be aware of a heavy suitcase

It was grrrrrrrrrrreat!

Pros: big tv, comfy bed, friendly staff, friendly, huge shower area, free coffee, colourful rooms, arrt

Cons: the mirror was not clean.. didn't mind that but just to let you know if others mind that.

Different and fun

Pros: Fun retro look, great coffee, excellent and plentiful staff.

Cons: Restaurant was good but too expensive for a budget motel.
