Great place. The staff was friendly and always checking to make sure our needs were met. They checked us in way early, which was great. The room was large and comfortable, but basic. Small fridge, Keurig machine, water kettle but no microwave. Can't beat the location. Right in the heart of Victoria and easy walk to all major attractions and great restaurants. Breakfast not included but there is a restaurant in the building open for breakfast and lunch. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

It says parking, theres no parking other then valet. Parking is tight and expensive and in a completely seperate building almost a block away. Other then that the hotel was great. The room accomadated us (family of 5, 3 children) perfectly. It was very clean, the coffee machine was a plus (though odd hours) and the staff were great.
