The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express & Suites Victoria-Colwood By IHG

Convenient Comfort in Victoria’s West Shore

Modern, affordable, and conveniently located in Victoria’s West Shore district, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Victoria-Colwood offers a relaxed, crowd-free base just a short drive from downtown music venues. With clean, spacious rooms, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi, it's easy to unwind after a loud night out—or recharge before another one.

Just over 6 miles from Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre and Victoria Harbour Ferry, and only 1.1 miles from Royal Roads University, this hotel is well placed for catching shows without the hustle of city center stays.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel hits the right note for music fans looking for quiet nights after loud shows. It’s far enough from downtown to avoid late-night street noise, yet close enough—just a 15-minute drive—to easily reach top venues. The 24-hour front desk and flexible check-in at 4:00 PM mean you can arrive on your schedule, and the free WiFi is great for last-minute ticket checks or rideshare bookings.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want space without breaking the bank
  • Solo travelers heading to once-in-a-lifetime gigs
  • Couples making a weekend of live music and local exploring
  • Fans who need a calm spot to recover post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind being a few miles out

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers a free hot breakfast—perfect after a late night. You’ll also find several walkable eateries nearby in Colwood, and local delivery apps cover the area for late-night cravings. Though there’s no bar or room service, the in-room amenities make snacking easy.

Nightlife Options

If you're looking to keep the night going, downtown Victoria's bars and lounges are a short drive or rideshare away. Prefer to stay in? The chill West Shore atmosphere makes it easy to wind down post-show without the noise of late-night party crowds.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s spacious rooms, friendly staff, and cleanliness. Many reviewers highlight the quiet location and the ease of parking. Others love the indoor pool and fitness center for an active start to the next day.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t the spot if you’re hoping to walk home from a show downtown—it's about 15–20 minutes by car. Some guests mention a lack of dining options within the hotel, but nearby restaurants help bridge the gap.

The Bottom Line

If you want a peaceful, affordable place to recharge between concerts without sacrificing comfort or convenience, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Victoria-Colwood is a smart choice.

Very good

Liked: We have stayed at other Holiday Inns before and it really is our hotel of choice and one of the reasons is because the included breakfast is always a treat; our kids enjoy it. The gym was nice and the pool was good although a bit small. Onsite laundry was very useful and thankfully I did not have to wait as there was only one washer and one dryer.
Disliked: Although the room was comfortable and neat, I felt it was not as clean as it should be. I found hair and dirt gathered on the floor of the bathroom from a previous guest, I am sure the carpet was not vacuumed at all as I found crumbs as well as a lone shoe by the bed from a previous guest, and there was a towel on top of the shower head. I thought it would be better after the daily housekeeping, unfortunately it was not.
