Top hotels in Gordon Head
Fairmont Empress
This hotel is great! The staff were awesome and the location was perfect. A few minor issues with our room. A light was burnt out and the fan in our bathroom was pretty dirty. These are things I think should be easily taken care of especially for a hotel

Strathcona Hotel
Great location. Room was clean. Parking was around the corner so close and only $15 per night. Price was great for a Tuesday but tried again on Good Friday and it was over $200 per night.
