    The rooms are stunning and clean. The hotel is on an unbeatable location near great restaurants, shopping and lots of interesting historic buildings, and harbour front. It's worth staying here and exploring Downtown Victoria district.

    Had awesome stay on vacation and the weather was wonderful. The room was been upgraded to a great harbour view and available on level 2. The hotel was set in a very central area next to Butchart gardens and the older lobbies, restaurants & arcades. I ate in the lobby restaurant nearby. I greatly enjoyed staying here.

    Excellent food, superb service and sweeping view of the harbor. Great-sized and contemporary rooms and feather pillows and hypo-allergenic pillows. Accommodating, immensely pleasant staff towards all guests. Location - marvellous, short walk to good restaurants, the parliament building, BC museum and Alaska & canada. Also, close to unique shops.

    Its location is stunning, just next door to the ferries, and the stores, shops & restaurants on the doorstep, and the harbour in downtown Victoria. Downtown Victoria district is worth looking into.

    I was satisfied with bright and tasteful rooms complete with the bathroom, fewer tables, for instance. An electric kettle and a fridge were nice.

    The place was fairly clean with a competent and best staff on shift. The location was peaceful and awesome for walking around Royal bc Museum. Besides, it was short walk to Victoria as well as the market. The breakfast was substantial for a deck-of-card sized French toast.
