Staff was welcoming. Room was comfortable. Showerhead didn’t work. The immediate neighborhood had a lot of homeless people sleeping on the street.

This is our second time staying here and it is our go to hotel in Victoria now. What keeps us coming back is the staff. Everyone goes above and beyond. I told the staff we were there for my son’s 10th birthday celebration, and the next day, Brandon organized balloons and chocolate for him. Absolutely blown away and touched by this, as was my son! Thank you so very much!!! It’s things like this that brings us back. Shoutout to Steven who was always so smiley and helpful. Also so Great to have the Ruby there for breakfast. Most delicious breakfast we have had in town. Only complaint is the hair dryer- didn’t work and they didn’t have a spare. Hope they can address that because if hair dryers are advertised in the room, they should work. Or I would have brought my own. If you’re a women, you know this is actually a big deal!! Thank you again for an amazing stay! We will be back!

One thing that was kind of annoying was we drove to Victoria B.C. for a show. We arrived to the hotel to be told that my buddy's vehicle was too tall for valet parking when it doesnt say on the company website nor the booking website. Would probably be a good idea to clarify that if a vehicle is too tall you will have to figure it out rather than saying "parking available".

I'm sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced with parking. We strive to provide clear information to our guests, and it's disappointing to hear that this wasn't the case in your situation. Your feedback is valuable, and we'll make sure to review our website information to ensure that it accurately reflects our parking limitations.

Beware: These rooms are noisy! I couldn’t sleep until 11pm because the doors do nothing to stop sound transfer. If you are by the elevator you’ll be paying to lay awake listening to people come and go as if they are walking through your room. I’ll never stay here again. Ever. I wouldn’t even stay for free.
