The property is right at the center of downtown Victoria which is very convenient for sightseeing. Room is clean and the price is reasonable. The only 1 thing to improve is when checking in, the front desk agent should have stood up with a smile to greet us (even though we're just some students) which we didn't receive. We're taking hospitality program so we evaluate this very well. Other than that, everything was good. Highly recommend this place if you want to be right in downtown with walking distance to incredible spots.

Perfect location with very affordable surface parking steps from the front door. Building has lots of character (and I mean that on a good way!) We had a large, comfortable room w/ 2Q sofabed, at a very reasonable rate. Location location, location! Easily walkable from ferry. Walkable to many, many of our destinations. (National Car Rental was affordable, good to work with, and is literally across the street.) We had a great breakfast at Crust, a great bakery/coffee shop 2 blocks away. They also have an incredible liquor store attached. I considered other hotels nearby that were similarly priced, or a little less. When I drove by them, I was very happy with my choice. 1½ days of packed adventure left us happy with our quick visit, and wanting to come back again.

Charming Budget Stay in Victoria

This renovated, budget-friendly hotel in Victoria offers a cozy, if modest, experience. I appreciated the early check-in despite a stated 4 PM time—an ideal perk after a long journey. Note that amenities are limited, however everything is within walking distance around the hotel. The property is small with only one elevator. Overall, it’s a good value option, but at higher rates I’d opt for a hotel with more comprehensive services.
