Absolutely perfect from start to finish! This property is incredible. Definitely a must stay in Victoria! The grounds are like castle gardens. Stunning to wander around and smell the roses. Every staff member was so helpful and pleasant to interact with. The amenities were incredible! I am very picky ...

Red Lion Inn and Suites
Nice hotel for the price. Clean. Could not get thermostat to work. Other businesses in the same complex made it feel unsafe. Parking could be challenging.
