Great central location between the Swartz Bay terminal and Victoria. Us and our two dogs were very happy with their pet-friendly facilities. Gave us a huge room in the ground floor. Very clean. The staff at the front desk were super nice during check-in and check-out. Will stay there again and will recommend the hotel to others for sure.

The Old English Tudor style feel of the hotel was what led me to choose this place, and the size of the superior king bed’s room was a big bonus. The size of the room was huge compared to chain hotels/inn. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

I loved the decor and atmosphere. Felt very welcoming and like coming home after visiting local attractions/areas. The breakfast was fantastic! Such a great selection. The pub had the best food! Plus everyone was so kind and friendly. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. Overall, a wonderful place to stay.

The location being only seven minutes to the airport was awesome as I was traveling alone and nervous about getting to the airport and on time. The complementary breakfast was wonderful and the staff was very helpful and showing me how to use the different equipment. For the price I will certainly didn’t think that it would be that nice of a place. I most certainly will advise my friends and family to stay there when traveling back-and-forth.

This was a great “middle” hotel option between the Ferry @ Swartz Bay and Downton Victoria. Quick access to Butchart Gardens, Kayaking and local eateries. Simple to hop on the freeway and head to Victoria (about 20 minutes). Room was updated with modern amenities. I loved the blend of styles between the history of “The Waddling Dog” and modern comfort! A modern-cottage feel!

I love, love, love the decor. Tudor is one of my favorite periods. I found the place charming, it's location near to the Ferry and Victoria very convenient, the staff wonderful, and the breakfast scumptious.

We loved everything! There's a pub and a liquor store here! Everything was clean and comfortable it's an adorable place! It's close to The Butchart Gardens and Butterfly Gardens which were our favorites. I loved that it's outside the bustling city but still close enough to drive in every day. Nothing we wanted to do was more than 25 min away.

When we arrived after midnight, we were greeted by Ceara who was very welcoming and offered us a bottle of water (after having been on planes all day, this was most welcomed). She was friendly and offered any assistamce we might need. Just a very welcome welcome after a long day. When we stayed at another facility, we said we wished there had been accommodation available at the Waddling as we would have returned. The room was very comfortable, quiet and we would have enjoyed returning.

I loved our room. It was clean and comfortable. With the new renovations and furniture it made our stay wonderful. It was a lot more then I was expecting. The location was perfect since we went specifically for Buchart Gardens. It was quiet. The pub was great, good food. Gas station right next door. The complimentary breakfast was excellent. It was all great!!!! Great price as well.

It was a very pretty hotel very clean nice staff. A little pricey but most Hotels are. The benefit to this place was the substantial breakfast included. Which made the price quite a bit better. The staff in the breakfast room were exceptional.
