We stayed here to 2 nights, mid-week in July.
The location is AMAZING for easy walkability downtown Victoria.
The hotel is older, which is fine. We showered and slept there, that was it.
Government Street is closed off (pedestrian only) from 12-10. So parking near the hotel to unload our suitcase was tricky, but we managed. It was frustrating actually. There are a lot of one way streets to maneuver. We managed to get close enough.
We parked our car in the lot discounted by the hotel for 2 nights. We were able to walk everywhere else. We took the bus to Craigdarroch castle & back to Phillips Brewery, from there it was a short walk back to the hotel. The bus was easy to navigate with Google Maps, it came by every 15 minutes or so.
The hotel is in a FANTASTIC location.
The front desk of the hotel is on the 2nd floor. That was strange.
There is no signage on the front door. That was also strange. You have to look up to read the awning.
The women at the front desk was dry and hated her job. She got the job done, but we got zero smiles from her. The man at the front desk at check out was quite pleasant.
The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. It had a double shower, TV, AC, mini fridge. Everything we needed.
The location and the price for that area were great. We would absolutely stay here again.
