I’ve stayed here multiple times and have always had a good experience. The location is great, the rooms are clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Will stay again.
Our room was modern and well appointed. The bed and linens were luxurious. It was very convinent to walk to all the tourist spots. The on-site restaurant was convenient and offered a great menu.
This little hotel is the best.
Everytime I come to Victoria, it’s consistently amazing. Friendly and super hospitable!
The cookies in the room are delicious too!
Amazing staff, very helpful and accommodating with early and late checkouts, holding bags outside of our stay so we could explore the city. We changed our hotel on our return trip just to stay here again for one night.
