Can anyone recommend a hotel which offers shuttle service close to Victoria airport?

travel lodge is nice, but no shuttle. the FBO may drive you there, but it is only about a 15 min walk if the weather is nice. otherwise try the best western just down the street from the travel lodge.

Empress is a shit hole, All name no substance…. if your looking for a ½ decent hotel go to the Grand Pacific, or Delta…. Both have a shuttle… There is also an airport shuttle that will take you anywhere for $7 (or at least it used to be $7)
Welcome to VIC!

PS where you tying up? If your on the north side I could probabbly score you a ride to town

Harbour Towers downtown Victoria. Nice rooms, great staff, close to everything. The Airporter shuttle costs 15 each way now I believe from the main terminal. Don't think it picks up at any FBO's

welcome to vic, enjoy your (I assume) short stay. As for hotels, pretty much what everyone else has said. there are a few out on hwy 17 (travel inn, super 8, best western, travelodge) but the nice stuff is all downtown (delta, empress, grand pacific, laural point, harbor towers, chateau victoria etc.).

lol you could always take good ol' BC trans route 70. it takes you right down douglas.

ahh the days before I got my car...

B&B`s are the way to go in YYJ...... I really liked the Dashwood Manor. You can get a whole suite with a fireplace and a jacuzzi cheaper than small hotel room in Toronto!

I think there`s a bus to the airport.

Cheers!

p.s. If you`re looking for a bar, go to the fox ;)
