CRAMPED

There was no suitcase stand; not really anywhere to place the suitcase. The breaker was off so the mini fridge or tea kettle was of no use. No pen or paper supplied. Quite hard to move around such a cramped area; cannot imagine how any larger couple might navigate this standard Queen room. You have to sit on the toilet sort of sideways to get your knees and head in without hitting them on the shower wall.

Great hotel location within walkable distance to many attractions and dining options. We traveled with three small children with no issues at all. Friendly staff made check-in nice and easy. Spacious, clean, comfortable rooms. The pull out sofa bed was huge! Bathroom was clean and updated. Parking is a little far but we were able to drive up to the front of hotel to load and unload. It is on a busy street so we heard some cars and ambulance noises. Overall, our family had a pleasure stay and would return in the future.

Good location, clean room but with parking issues.

Good location, Room a little tight, but very clean with wood floors (no carpet). Parking however can be a problem. Parking lot is about a block away, unsecured, with only 24 stalls. I'm to understand they have over 70 rooms and might oversell parking passes and if you do not find a spot, they will simply reimburse parking cost.

Great, walkable location for a quick midweek visit to Victoria. We were pleased to see a mix of young families, seniors, and other groups staying at the Strathcona. Our room was modern and cheerful with a convenient mini fridge, microwave and tea/coffee station. We had 2 queen beds and it looked very much like the photos in the listing. We didn't spend much time in our room so we didn't need extra space, but if you're planning on hanging out, there's only two chairs, a small desk under the TV, and the beds. My family and I received a room on the 5th floor, furthest away from the noise of the street front bars below so sound wasn't much of an issue for us but we could hear some traffic noise when the AC unit wasn't on. Parking is a block away in an unsecured parking lot on the street (staff advised us not to leave anything in our vehicle overnight). Some of the amenities advertised in the hotel listing are located in the same complex/block but aren't within the hotel itself. This wasn't an issue for us as we were more interested in family-friendly activities in the city. Pros: the staff are friendly, the rooms have been modernized and clean, and the location is convenient and close to Victoria Harbour Cons: unsecured parking lot, noisier the closer you are to the street and even more so on weekends/event nights at the neighbouring rooftop bar, and our room was showing some wear
