Motel 6-Saanichton, BC - Victoria Airport

I liked the cleanliness of my room and facilities. This is a large hotel that is doggy friendly :) There was usually coffee ready, both decaffeinated and regular and hot water for tea and liquid Coffeemate, cups, sugar, stir sticks and a vending machine. Also, laundry facilities that require coins. All of the staff are very friendly, even when it was a busy time of day, which happened quite a lot. They all were professional and dealt with sometimes grumpy or outright rude travellers with ease. The motel cleaners are kind and friendly as well. About 20 steps away, there is a White Spot Restaurant where you receive a discount on your orders. You can dine in or order takeaways to take back to your room. They are open from morning until 9pm at night. Across the hwy ( where there is a an over road walkway) there is a McDonald's, a pub with food, takeaways and accommodation and 2 gas stations. Behind the motel is a big doggy friendly, grassy area, even with doggy poo bags, that is next to a forest, also having picnic benches and little BBQs. Being spring, I saw a few bunnies, salamanders, various birds, a hummingbird and huge ravens circling in the sky. For a 5 night stay, for myself, it truly has been wonderful. I would certainly stay 1 night or more in the future. For smokers or vapers, there are designated spots around the property so not to disturb the other guests. I loved the recycling containers around the outside of the property so we can all be a bit more Earth friendly. Finally, the front desk can provide a map of the area and Victoria as this motel is slightly out of Victoria, and close to the airport in an area known as Saanichton. In addition, they can provide you with a sleep mask, etc. for those who are light sleepers. Motel 6 is right beside the Pat Bay Hwy, however the traffic noise is cushioned by the large trees and vegetation.

Motel-6 offers a basic, clean, well-located and safe option for folks like me that need a one-night solution for getting to or from Victoria airport or Swartz Bay ferry terminal. The room was equipped with everything I needed and more, including microwave if I remember correctly. The room is a no frills basic room providing a comfortable bed and perfectly fine bathroom/shower. I appreciated the wood (not carpet) floor. Its just not a very fancy room and that was perfectly fine for my needs. You can even easily catch the bus, steps away, to Swartz Bay, Sidney, or downtown Victoria.

room was great for our simple overnight needs! three comfy beds and two bathrooms, and friendly front desk staff.

I liked the convenience to the ferry and the fact that it was close to some restaurants and a pub was a bonus. I liked the ease of checking in and the friendliness of Erwin, the night staff, who checked us in was very much appreciated. Shout out to Erwin! The room was very clean and the bed was nice and comfy. The coffee was hot and fresh.

Never had breakfast but White Spot restaurant was close and convenient.
