Beacon Inn at Sidney B&B

Travelling across Canada we departed Victoria and booked a single night here to ensure we could make our BC ferry to the mainland at 6am. Despite this we were charged for two nights, in spite of returning our key after the one night we had ordered. Upon contacting the hotel, to find out why we were charged 670 dollars for a single night we were told basically "too bad" because their complete lack of overnight staff ensured that we had no way of knowing that they had erred and booked us for two nights. 670 for a single night because they can't be bothered listening or having staff in their hotel 24/7. We also didn't receive a receipt for over 3 weeks, basically ensuring that we had no recourse for the return of over-payment for a room we didn't order, ask for, or want because we were driving across country and never had any intention of staying for more than a single night. 0/10 would not recommend to anyone unless they like throwing their money away.

We regularly vacation on Vancouver Island but do not spend much time in the Victoria region. This time we stayed 2 nights at the Beacon Inn and toured Victoria. This is a comfortable Bed and Breakfast and we enjoyed it. Very few B & B's give you a large breakfast these days and we received a relatively small breakfast although it was enough for us. Rooms were very comfortable and it appeared modeled after a B & B in the UK (we stayed at one in York last year and it was similar but with a large breakfast) I would recommend The Beacon Inn.
