Re: Hotels DownTown Victoria
would you consider a B&B?
We stayed in a nice one - victorian heritage home, pet friendly, had a massive bedroom & bathroom and right downtown. Can't remember name offhand but if you google pet friendly b&b you should find it - there aren't a lot

Tripadvisor should be able to help you with that (the reviews and pics)?

Stayed at the Delta this time last year - wasn't bad plus they have had a big reno since then. Watch out for BC residents rates and their websaver rates. The Club Level rooms have the continental brekky and evening hors d'oeuvres which saves a bit of you can get a good rate.

Re: Hotels DownTown Victoria
I have no personal experience of these hotels, but have friends who have:
Magnolia Hotel on Courtney St is down town close to The Bay Centre.
Royal Scot on Quebec St. near Inner Harbour parking costs $12 daily.
Hotel Grand Pacific on Belleville St.
Embassy Inn on Menzies St., free parking
Oswego Hotel on Oswego St.
All are easy walking distance to Inner Harbour and down town.
Hope this helps, and enjoy your stay.
