Great hotel, window overlooking Douglas St over the weekend was great! Great location, front desk staff was pretty robotic, but would definitely stay here again. The parking is half a block away and not secured, but had no issues over two nights. Great little independent theatre down the street (The Vic Theatre) was showing the Shining while I was there , how great that was! I love Victoria.

Recent renovations to rooms ensures an updated experience. The hotel is in the heart of downtown Victoria, close to shops and restaurants and far less expensive than the Empress or Magnolia. You wont find a gym or expansive lobby here but the staff is lovely, the Sticky Wicket next door has good pub food and drinks and a rooftop bar if you like a livelier atmosphere. Would stay here again.
