Arbutus Inn
Bathroom was extra large with a huge bathtub and excellent lighting! The bedroom could have better blackout curtains. Was very quiet, which we really appreciated. Thank you.

Oak Bay Beach Hotel
poolside area should have some cubbies for towels and belongings so that people don't tie up a lounger just for that purpose. It was crowded this past weekend and we had to put our stuff on a rock, when there were loungers available, but just holding towels.
