My bathroom light would not turn off, and the fan was connected to the light so the fan noise was on all night. I feel if a guest’s view is the front bumpers of the car in the parking lot, they shoukd be warned that they have no view. And they can’t keep their curtains open, unless they are OK with people in the parking lot able to see into their room. A/C unit only mildly effective. But clean, spacious and the lady at tje front desk is lovely.

I've never seen an hotel bathroom so clean for an old establishment. You can tell that they really pay attention to details here. The front desk staff were excellent as well (very jovial and supportive). I would return here when next in Victoria
