Liked that the kitchenette had dishes, supplies for washing dishes. The cabinet needed maintenence. One cabinet door had loose dangling hinges. The floor wasn't that clean. The only entrance was from the main lobby. The was no card entrance from the parking lot on the opposite side of the building. The room was small and overpriced.

This was just a one night stay to attend a concert. Location is convenient, but surrounding area didn’t feel comfortable after dark. Very dated decor, but the room was a good size and clean. Beds were not comfortable, they could use an upgrade. Pillows were not comfortable at all. The worst part was the noise. We were next to a big family group occupying several rooms and they were loud and not considerate. There is no soundproofing (thin walls and gaps around doorway), so you hear everything. Price was reasonable but likely won’t stay again.

Management and staff is a scam here. The staff passes on false messages regarding services and when complaints are raised, the manager shows how he is least interested in any feedback regarding staff and customer service, defending staff to a point that declining every accusation that’s ON CAMERA The staff has no sense of respectfully attending customers. ‘Manager Chris’ makes false promises of compensation and once you are all checked out, nobody cares. Rather spend a few extra bucks but enjoy the city at a better accommodation

This hotel was a very pleasant surprise. Staff at the desk and cleaning staff were all very pleasant. Our room was amazing and very clean. Heard no noise and felt very safe. The only issue was parking. Once the front parking lot is filled, you have to park quite far from hotel entrance and due to a liquor store being attached to the hotel, there were some questionable people hanging outside. We circled the hotel for a bit and someone parked in the front parking area left so we were able to take their spot. Overall, I would definitely return again

Rooms were spacious, clean, and updated. Full kitchenette including dishes, silverware, pans, linens, and hotpad. What more can you ask for.

Staff was nice and the room was decent but the hotel is located in a sketchy area. I was extremely nervous of my car being broken into as I was warned by multiple staff and there are signs everywhere not to leave valuables in your car. I parked it so I could see it from my room. I didn’t get any sleep as I kept looking outside as I could see numerous people coming off the galloping goose trail looking into my car and one guy O.D. beside my car and threw up everywhere.

The immediate area has a shopping center, A&W across the street. We had a great time. I will stay here again and I recommend it to anyone coming to Victoria.

This affordable property is a nice place for a short trip to Victoria. It is newly renovated, has a very decently stocked kitchenette which was great as there is no breakfast. It also has friendly and helpful staff, on site parking, and clean and comfortable rooms. There is an attached cocktail lounge and a shopping mall across the street with restaurants. Not downtown, but on a direct bus route with very reasonably priced day passes. Hot water consistency appears to depend on how many are using it but full housekeeping service is a nice plus.
