Saanich Core Hotel Deals
Red Lion Inn and Suites
Room was clean and cosy. Had to hunt a little for parking, and most places of interest required a drive. However, price was relatively low, and that allowed us to do several things we couldn't have budgeted from a higher priced hotel

Fairmont Empress
The restaurant is currently under renovation, making it difficult to find a temporary dining option, and even then, the available options are unsatisfactory and don't match its high price.

Huntingdon Hotel and Suites
Beautiful property in a great location. Breakfast was very good and in a beautiful room that would overlook the water if not for construction across the road. Beds were very comfortable.
