Nice affordable stay in a decent location

Front desk were extremely patient and lovely when I showed up all flustered and wound up making their job way harder than it needed to be by forgetting my credit card and then leaving my ID at the front desk. It was pretty clean, though there were some things on the walls that I opted not to investigate. Beds were comfy. Walls a bit thin. You'd never guess you're that close to the main road, it really wasn't noisy. The fridge was extremely loud and my neighbours were a bit noisy (thin interior walls but solid outside I guess?)

We noticed ants around the TV counter, bedside tables, and in the bathroom. Furthermore, on the day of our check-in, the attendant was unhelpful. When we inquired about the nearest restaurant, he provided us with incorrect information and did not offer adequate assistance.

Have stayed here a number of times over the past decade. It is clean, quiet, the beds are comfortable and it's close to downtown. It's reasonably priced and we'll be staying here again...

This place has good old fashioned charm! The rooms are clean, well appointed, with nicely updated bathrooms and comfortable beds. The location is not in the thick of things, but it opens up opportunities beyond downtown Victoria.

Coffee sucks.

I like to wake up to a good cup of coffee. The motel to far to walk for a quick up of coffee. Please consider better coffee makers OR at least a good coffee machine in lobby to go get one.

The room was ok, but it had a bad smell. Also the walls were thin so the neighbors talking until 4AM kept us awake. They also do not provide service to the room and do not leave adequate supplies for your stay so you have to go request additional coffee, soap, etc. I would not recommend this place. It could be better with some effort on thier part.

The kitchen wasn’t clean but next day staff sent housekeeping to clean the kitchen ( which was just okay). Staff wasn’t friendly at all ( like no greetings at all) and most of the time no one was on the front desk. There was a strong bad smell in the room when we first entered. Location was fine, near Tim horotns and small grocery store. We really liked the location. Thank you
