The hotel had small rooms with no chairs to sit on, and the bedding appeared unclean, but the stay included an excellent free continental breakfast. The service from the front desk to housekeepers was fantastic and friendly, offering good customer service. The location, while centrally located in downtown Victoria, suffered from noise due to being situated above a nightclub. Dining options were varied, and the rate was inclusive of some services. The facilities were basic but functional.

I had a memorable stay at the hotel, which beautifully maintained the charm of its historical roots. The rooms offered ordinary comfort as expected, but I was surprised to find what looked like dried stains on the blankets. Despite that, all the needed amenities were provided, making my stay convenient. The service, from the friendly staff at the front desk to the diligent housekeepers, was excellent. The location was perfect, situated in the heart of downtown Victoria, allowing me to explore the city easily. The dining experience, with a good amount of options including delicious smoked salmon bagels, was satisfying. The facilities were well-kept and added to my overall enjoyment of the stay.

The hotel provides ordinary comfort with 2 queen beds per expectations, but lacks facilities like a coffee pot. The service from the front desk to housekeepers is excellent, offering a welcome drink and happy hour. The location is above two pubs in the center of downtown Victoria, close to everything. Dining options include a good variety. Overall, a decent value for money stay with minor room amenities missing.
