Paid for 2 rooms with king beds. When we got there the rooms were not ready til after 6 pm. One room had 2 queens and no other king bed were available with that room being much less nice compared with the room with the king and yet paid full price over $400 each

I have always wanted to get back up to Victoria and stay at the Empress, and after 30+ years, I finally made it back there with my wife and daughter. It was as expected, excellent in every way. I highly recommend it.
