Checkin was quick and painless by the lovely Miss Malahat. I got there early hoping to just ask them to hold my bag till proper check in time....but they got me in right away, always a good thing when traveling. Love the location near everything I love about beautiful Victoria. The rooms have been beautifully refurbished since my last visit, wuiet and spacious...great hot shower.

Booked a queen room for the Royal Victoria Marathon (and thanksgiving) long weekend. Staff was very attentive and room was very clean. 5 minute walk to downtown. Next door is a pub but they have a safety lock for the front entrance late night and staff 24hr so it feels secure.
