James Bay Inn is the third-oldest hotel in Victoria. It opened in 1911 and has operated as a hotel ever since, except for a short period during the war when it was used as a religious house (the artist Emily Carr died here in 1945). Today it maintains its Edwardian style and is one of the better cheap digs around, especially in the Inner Harbour/James Bay area. The standard rooms in the main building are small and simply furnished. The décor is a little dull, but the building has some charm. The broad upper balconies have nice views of the park and the in-house pub is a decent place for a beer. JBI also has an adjacent two-bedroom cottage and six suites in a 1908 heritage house next door. If you’re a family or small group looking for downtown value, this is it. To top off their value JBI has free parking and Wi-Fi.
