Victoria bc hotel can help relieve christmas stress

Don't let Christmas stress you out, plan ahead

The Holiday Season is over, it’s time to reflect on both the good and maybe “not so good” of the season.  It brings to mind some of life’s lessons that I learned recently.

Just before Christmas I paid a call on Marlin Travel in Broadmead Village Shopping Centre.  As we were discussing plans for Christmas, Kathryn shared her “Secret to Success”.  After the previous Christmas, she purchased her 2011 calendar, opened it to December 2011 and wrote in big letters “Remember Last Christmas”.  I was fascinated. ....read more about planning ahead for christmas

Terry Farmer founder of the BC hotel chain excited over Accent Inns awesome success

Wow, what a year 2011 was for the Accent Inn team.

The year began with us launching the first ever hotel rewards  for Pets, the “Pet Fee Free” card back in March. The response had people  talking about it online from all over North America (not just Canada). Next, one of our Vancouver Airport  team members, Zully, won a Tourism Vancouver award for his service. We went from the excitement for Zully  to  our founder, Terry Farmer, being awarded Tourism Victoria`s first ever Lifetime Member award, which really put a spring in our steps. ....read more stories about 2011

Camosun Chargers Golfers Are Back At It

Victoria BC's Jared Hundza Camosun Chargers Golf team member

Jared Hundza Camosun Chargers Golf team member

Under the guidance of Coach John Randle, the Camosun College Chargers, who went to the nationals last season, had a great finish at the first tournament of 2011. Coach Randle obviously takes his experience as a Canadian PGA professional and owner of the  Randle Golf school in Victoria, and applies it to the Chargers program.  It’s very apparent that blessed with some very talented players and one of the best coaches anywhere, we can expect the Chargers to be well represented moving forward.

A great example of this is Jared Hundza, Camosun recruit,  claiming the low total at PacWest Tournament #1. Despite his status as a first-year student-athlete at Camosun, the UBC transfer student quickly claimed the top spot on the Leaderboard as the newly-named PACWEST hit the links to begin the 2011 golf season. ...read more on the Chargers 2011 season

And travelling with bikes has never been easier – thanks to Accent Inns’ unique Bike Love program. Under Bike Love, each location offers guests bike friendly rooms, access to a bike wash and tuning station (complete with a professional-grade bike stand and an assortment of bicycle specific pro mechanic tools, pump, hose and plenty of rags) and use of the onsite laundry facilities – all at no extra charge.
