We arrived there one hour prior to check in time. The room we had reserved was ready so we were given the keys; we were immensely appreciative of that. Two nice neighborhood beach parks are 5-10 minutes walk away. My sister tripped and got injured during one of our outings and the front desk attendant was super nice in providing all the first aid supply we could have possibly needed. 10 minutes drive from Butchart Gardens. 3 minutes drive from a really cool farm stand and an additional couple minutes to island view park. 5 minutes drive from Sidney beach walk way. 15 minutes drive from Moses Point, a beach you will more than likely have all to yourself. 20 minutes drive from downtown Victoria.

The only thing that I didn't like is the breakfast- not enough food was made for the amount of people in the hotel causing several people to wait- then only a small amount of food was brought out. There was also not enough seating in the dining area.

Great service and newly appointed rooms. Breakfast starts up a bit later, although continental ready at 6 a.m, hot foods out at 7 a.m. They have an area called the library that is a good space to sit outside of our room. Even turned on the fireplace at night. Would be even better if they upped the furniture game with more sofa style seating but it’s also used for the breakfast area. Pub and restaurant were disappointing (likely owned by a 3rd party). Was looking for something more intimate english pub fee.
