Wonderful staff, even though we had some miscommunication with guest services. Breakfast was just okay, sausage was horrible, a lot of empty containers an hour after services started, very limited seating for breakfast, but clean area.

YOU WANT TO STAY HERE!!!

OMG this place is the REAL DEAL! You have to stay here when you come to Victoria!! The place is super clean, great food offered in the morning, close to dining options and a gas station. The dog motif was top notch as was all of the staff. Upon checking in, the gentleman at counter explained the pub connected to the restaurant and how part was family friendly! We were given adjoining rooms per our request. Rooms were so clean and bright, great bathrooms and wonderful beds!

We checked in early and that was fine. Hotel side has been recently renovated. Hotel and continental breakfast are fabulous. The bar/restaurant is shabby and old tho still has a wee bit of charm.
