Hotels on the River in Downtown Victoria from $183

"Our first adult trip to Victoria (we both have lived in Washington state for nearly 70 years) was greatly enhanced by our three night stay at The Magnolia in early December. Staff was fantastic, location was very convenient to the harbor, shopping, and lots of bars and restaurants. We stayed in one of their corner rooms and really enjoyed the additional room that it provided. Very nice room, comfortable furnishings, and super responsive housekeeping staff. The only shortcoming (not really much of an issue) was the depiction on the booking site that this was a partial harbor view room. While that was true, the view from only one of the windows really allowed us to see the very inside corner of the harbor (perhaps 100 feet of waterfront)."

"Great stay, per usual. Friendly staff, clean rooms, and a wonderful location. We love coming back each year."
