The Howard Johnson is located quite close to the highway so making it to the location of the seminar will be quick work. It is also one of the newer hotels in Victoria, so the facilities are quite clean and comfortable.

There is also accommodation at UVic, however the buses might be a bit tricky during the weekend:
