Huntingdon Manor Hotel

4.5 stars rounded up for the potential they are pouring into this place!
I enjoyed my stay here completely! The staff are amazing with recommendations in the area and helping you get where you need to go. Wonderful customer service!
The manor looks like old century Victorian but feels like modern comfort. There is a lovely dinning area and business nook with fireplace. The continental breakfast is fully loaded and they do a great job of making sure it’s always full.
The room was spacious and comfortable. Wish they would have had more furniture but it looks like they are working on revamping the place — so I won’t knock them on that. All of it was perfect! The kitchen was fully stocked and they had everything you would want to make your own meals if you were staying longer.
The only negative would be that the bed needs to be anchored down or something. LOL! You can’t place too much weight on the bottom or the top flips up and visa versa. It’s on wheels too which makes things interesting.

Price is good. If you look for clean bedding. Bathroom stinks. Old pipes sound and smell. Rooms are spacious. Room door didn’t close (make sure you close after leaving). Tv remote control didn’t work either.
The building is nice outside. Old fashion style inside. Can be cute.
Fridge makes lots of noises.
Wifi connection? Not really. It doesn’t work 5steps away from the lobby.
Breakfast is less than ok. Some fruit. Some cereal. Croissants. Bad quality scrambled eggs, toaster doesn’t work properly.
At least it’s included in the hotel room price. They ask to leave a tip because they tidy up after you (really?! You expect me to tip!)
I’m not picky. But if I go to a hotel I expect much more. If I had stayed at a random road motel it would have been good enough.

Arrived at 3pm, the room was still being cleaned, and took another 30 minutes to finish. Other than that, a few details were missed in the cleaning of the room. The room gave felt old and stuffy. There were better options in the area, I wish I would have picked a different hotel, some of the others offered an indoor pool or free breakfast.

I don’t know what other says, this is the 1^st time to stay here, it’s a little small hotel, so closer to everything within the walking … The rooms are clean (need an update) but its nice just no AC make sure you open the window at night, great deal for this place next to the water

For the price it was adequate. The room was small, on the main floor and faced the front street. At check in I asked if it would be possible to get a room on a higher floor and facing the water. We had booked through Expedia and had a comment at check in about this is the type of room you get when you book with Expedia. There was a fan, but no air conditioning. Parking is extra and somewhat limited as the indoor garage is small.

Motel comes to mind when I first stepped the room, yes the place was clean and it’s location was very convenient, however this place had a certain smell to it, i would say dusty but i didn’t really see any dust, if old had a smell this would be it. The furniture and beddings were outdated. The room was small but had a lovely view of the harbor. for the price and last minute booking, it was ok.

As far as accomodations go, my husband and I tend to prefer Bed & Breakfasts; this includes our couple-​times-​a-​year trips to Victoria. That said, B&B’s are not always in our price range. Fortunately, the Huntingdon Hotel & Suites IS within our price range; it’s an easily affordable option for most any budget. It also happens to be clean, cozy, and comfortable, with a cute little (small) store on the grounds as well as a restaurant (I haven’t yet tried the restaurant but I’m glad to know it’s there!).
The location is great — literally right across the street from the ferry terminal at inner Harbour — and there’s free Internet in the lobby (the computer actually works, too!).
So why just three stars? Well, the walls are as thin as a pancake (or paper, or whichever cliché one wants to use). This is only a minor inconvenience if your neighbors are quiet and respectful. However, if your neighbors are loud and obnoxious — as ours were during our most recent stay — don’t count on sleep. Which is rather unfortunate, considering sleep is sort of the point of a hotel in the first place.
(Yes, it did reach the point where we had to inform the front desk; and, no, nothing was done about it. The grating voices and drunken-​sounding laughter continued for a good half hour or so.)
Oh, well. At least the desk staff are polite and friendly — even during that less-​than-​ideal scenario.
Ultimately, this is a charming alternative to other budget hotels and certainly a sufficient place to stay. Next time we can’t swing a B&B, I’m sure we’ll be back; I’ll just keep my fingers crossed for quiet neighbors!

We just returned from our annual summer trip to Victoria and stayed at the Huntingdon for 4 nights.
On the plus side:
Price/​location– it was the best price along the Inner Harbour.
Quaint – I loved the old English artwork and ambiance
The Gardens/​View – We were fortunate to have a wonderful view of the pathway and flowers to Belleville street and could see the water from our window.
Water pressure in the shower.
Cons: HARD BEDS! I woke up with a sore back every morning.
I booked through their website and didn’t see anything saying that they charge for parking. They do – $ 9.00 per day. I didn’t like the surprise but it’s not a bad price for parking overnight in Victoria.
The shower water drastically fluctuates. I’ve stayed in old buildings with a boiler room before so knew to not mess with the dial when the temperature changed. You could really get burned.
The food in the little restaurant was good but the breakfast menu was very limited and overpriced. But that’s typical for Victoria.
Overall, I can’t really complain. It was clean and mostly comfortable. I wouldn’t be adverse to staying there again.

We were travelling as a family with another family and just needed one night in walking distance from the ferry. This place was reasonably priced so we booked it. We were pleased with the size and cleanliness of the room, but yes, it is old and in need of updating, Still, for the money, it served our purpose. Breakfast on the front porch restaurant was beautiful though pricey.

I had purchased a gift card package which was redeemable at this hotel as a package with some nice perks: overnight stay, tickets to the museum and a couple of other things. When I called to book an appointment, first I was left on hold for over 10 minutes by the front desk so I called back. When I did call back I informed the person that I was left on hold for 10 minutes, he never even acknowledged it and just asked what he can do for me. When I explained I wanted to book a night with the gift card, he said I would have to email the manager as they had recently changed management and they would have to deal with it. Fair enough, so I email the manager and I get return emails asking me questions such as: Did you already purchase this gift card? What does this gift card entail? When did you purchase it? Etc etc… when I had already included in the email a direct link to the site where they are signed up with this package deal online. I guess he was too lazy to click on a link to see what they had agreed upon as a package. He said he has cc’d his floor manager and would look into it and get back to me. I waited over 2 weeks and I never got a response back. So I emailed back and let them know that this is ridiculous customer service and also about what happened when I had first called. This is exactly what I wrote:
To whom it may concern:
I have not heard back from any of you and am very disappointed with your guest services overall. I did not receive any acknowledgement when I first wrote regarding the negative experience I had on the phone with your front desk staff. The lack of knowledge you have of my already purchased gift certificate and with all the information I had given to you to look into it, I am appalled by the lack of response and care given to a potential guest who was previously looking to book with you.
I will be sure to share my review and feedback of my experience with your establishment and will not be booking with you now or in the future.
Thank you.
And this was their reply:
We will be gladly accepting your gift certificate.
In order to ensure availability, please let us know when you are planning to arrive.
Are you kidding me? I just replied and said «I think you have missed the message in my email.» Again, where is the acknowledgement of my entire experience. Needless to say, if I’m planning to stay somewhere and spend money on an establishment, they had better have some form of communication which this hotel clearly did not. Thankfully, I’m able to redeem the gift card package at another participating establishment which was very easy and accommodating and we have already enjoyed our weekend getaway! :)

We took the Victoria Clipper from Seattle, Washington and wanted a hotel that was close to where we docked. The Huntingdon was only one block up. It was very convenient with luggage and no car. The staff was very helpful and the room was huge and comfortable.
We would definitely stay there again.

Right by the ferry from the US, but keep on driving. This hotel is old and tired. In need of an update and repairs. With that said it’s fairly priced and cleanish. I’d suggest going for a more centralized location and splurging a little in Victoria. It is a very cool town.

I’m not sure if this disqualifies my review or not but I used to work at this hotel as a housekeeper.
It is a nice, small, hotel (about 80 rooms I believe) situated in a great spot overlooking the inner harbour. It is a short walk to the Empress, the parliament buildings and downtown Victoria.
I’ve had a few difference dishes from the kitchen and they all very good.

this is always one of my favorite places to stay whenever i visit victoria. it’s so nice and quaint yet it keeps me grounded and some extra cash in my wallet. the staff here are very friendly and go out of their way to make every stay the very best.
the very first time i stayed here was not my favorite but still remains a great memory. my family came here for a summer and of all the places i end up staying right next door to my junior high pe teacher. just my luck! it’s my summer vacation and i want to get away from school and i get so lucky. when we went out to dinner look who we ran in to. if i went to the pool look who was there. why me god?! it was a bummer for a teenage boy but it was still funny.
