Guest reviews for James Bay Inn Hotel & Suites
Small, older hotel, only a few blocks from the parliament building. If you are just looking for a quiet place to sleep that is reasonably close to everything and reasonably priced - this fits the bill. Our room was on the street side and the road seems to be on one of the horse drawn carriage routes, so listening to the horses clip clop down the street was a plus.

Very clean and quiet. Check in was very smooth. We stayed in the green house next to the hotel. Stairs are very steep but nicely remodeled suite with microwave and full size fridge in kitchen area.

Close to downtown, park and beach
This was a nice hotel for the price and a great location! Very quiet area within residential houses but within walking distance to most Victoria attractions. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. We loved that they had a luggage storage room when we needed to check in too early and again when our flight was leaving later in the evening.
We also received a discount card for the restaurant downstairs.
The room was large (2 queen beds). No air conditioning but with the windows and the provided fan, it kept nice during day and cooler at night. No in room coffee but they did provide it the lobby in the morning. There was always yummy iced lemon water at lobby as well. There are only stairs and the hotel is older. It felt like the floors were slanted quite a bit especially when walking up to the 3rd floor and in our own washroom.
We would stay again!

Beautiful historic hotel
Victoria is a delightful city, and the James Bay was no exception. Lovely old hotel close to the waterfront and historic sights. The staff was gracious, the food in the restaurant delicious, and the room exceptionally clean and comfortable. We look forward to returning some day.

Nice, quaint inn
The James Bay Inn (or JBI, as they call it) is a delightful inn tucked away up the road from a very nice port in Victoria. The walk down the hill is three blocks. The Inn itself is very nice, but be aware that due to the weather year around, the room we stayed in did not have air conditioning. We stayed there in August and while the room was warm, it was not uncomfortable. Other than that, the room was very clean and comfortable.

The James Bay Inn is a quaint charming hotel
Pros:
Great staff. Clean and quaintly elegant. Close to everywhere we wanted to go. Internet was fast. We were able to access the right roads easily.
Cons:
The charm of the place is its country inn elan. So, I don't suggest any changes.
Location:
On Government Street a few blocks from downtown. Easy access to all the places we wanted to go (by car.) Parking was immediately outside the door.
The Inn is a great experience. It is straight out of an earlier time. The staff are very helpful, knowledgeable and kind. The room was small but adequate. It was clean and comfortable. We took time on the patio deck to plan our days and it was delightful. It is close to downtown and all the roads to places we wanted to go. Just a great experience.

QUAINT HOTEL CLOSE TO ATTRACTIONS
Pros:
FRIENDLY AND KNOWLEDGABLE STAFF
Cons:
PARKING
Location:
THE HARBOR IS NEARBY. WHALE WATCHING ,RESTAURANTS,AND SHOPPING.B.C. MUSEUM., AND FISHERMANS WHARF ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE HOTEL.
THIS HOTEL WAS IN GREAT LOCTION TO SHOPPING, THE HARBOR AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. IT IS EASY TO WALK TO SHOPPING AND OTHER TOURIST ATTRACTIONS,YET FAR ENOUGH AWAY IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF IT. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE SMALL PARING LOT.THERE IS A RESTAURANT DOWNSTAIRS AND THE PARKING LOT IS FOR THE RESTAURANT.THERE ARE SUITES AVAILABLE ,BUT I DID NOT STAY THERE,SO I CANT REVIEW THEM.

Cute old hotel. Nothing fancy, but perfectly adequate for touring Victoria. The bed was comfortable. The location, close to the downtown and key tourist stops, is great.
