DAYS INN BY WYNDHAM VICTORIA UPTOWN, Victoria

This property is situated in Victoria's Upper Harbour, placing it within a 10-minute drive of downtown attractions (Parliament Building, Royal BC Museum) and whale-watching tours. Beacon Hill Park is 4 km away, and the Maritime Museum of British Columbia is 7 minutes by car. A bus stop directly outside the hotel provides easy access to the city centre and the University of Victoria. Parking is free and plentiful, making it a practical base for car travel, although downtown is also a 30-40 minute walk. The area has a pub, grill, and restaurant within 0.5 km, and a scenic walking/biking bridge is nearby. The hotel is not directly on a major bus tour route, but Grayline Victoria operates city tours from downtown.

Standard room types range from rooms with two double beds (smaller than a queen or king but priced the same as a single king) to studio suites with two queen beds and a kitchen, and one-bedroom suites with a queen bed, separate living/dining area, full kitchen, and a sofa bed. All rooms have a private bathroom with a shower and bath, hairdryer, air conditioning, heating, a 43-inch flat-screen TV, fridge, electric kettle, and a desk. Some rooms include cookware and kitchen utensils. There are no balconies. Soundproofing is limited, with notable noise transfer from adjoining rooms and plumbing; road-facing and pub-adjacent rooms are noisier. The property has no elevator, so mobility-impaired guests must specifically request a ground-floor room at booking. A portable crib is available on request.

The Old Coachman Eatery provides a breakfast menu (8:00-10:00 daily) at an additional 20 CAD per person. The on-site bar/pub (The Loft) serves lunch and dinner and hosts live music most evenings. It is popular and can require a reservation. A seniors' discount on room rates is available only when booking directly, and the eateries are open daily for all meals. For travellers wanting to self-cater, many rooms include a full kitchen or kitchenette, and there are supermarkets within driving distance. Three other restaurants (Hecklers Bar & Grill, Crows Restaurant, and a pub) are within 0.5 km on foot.

The indoor swimming pool is heated and open year-round (6:00-22:00), with pool/beach towels provided. There is no hot tub or spa. The fitness centre contains basic exercise equipment, and the sauna is free to use. Darts are available on site, and a golf course (within 3 km) and live music/performance can be accessed for an additional charge. The pool area can be viewed from a walkway above, and supervision of children is required.
