I have stayed at this hotel for 10 years in a row to take part in the Victoria Marathon. The hotel has changed management and owners, they were very un-accommodating to the runners. Not anything like they were in the past, no paid for late check out, no water table for runners, no signs or encouragement. The staff made it sound like the event was a burden. This hotel is literally right on the start line and this marathon has been going on for 45 years. I am extremely disappointed and will not stay there again.

1 block behind the main down down area of Victoria, close to all the action and grocery stores. If running the RVM, very conveniently located to the start line. Breakfast has a variety of option everyday and never disappointed, hot options and cold options. Room was clean and services provided every day. Only criticism would be to have glassware in the room instead of paper, but probable solved the front desk provided us with glasses ware when asked! Great stay!

The Embassy is such a lovely hotel! We stayed here for the Royal Victoria Marathon- so mere steps to the finish and start line! It is walkable distance to James Bay and shops, restaurants. But very quiet. The breakfast was amazing! Plenty of options and really fresh, delicious food! The room was very clean, equipped with microwave, fridge, coffee and kettle. The only issue- although the beds were super comfortable, the sheets were very scratchy (like paper) and made noise when we moved even in the slightest. ..which can wake up others in the room. Otherwise, we were really happy with our stay.
