A perfectly quiet and clean hotel in the heart of the harbor. Nestled right beside the Victoria legislative building, so in a very convenient location near the harbor and many other attractions. Very clean and comfortable for an older hotel. We’d definitely stay again!

Great choice

This hotel is very close to the harbor. The staff is excellent. The breakfasts are fantastic. There is nothing I could find wrong with our stay at all. We stayed in a suite and it is larger than some homes. You can’t go wrong.
