Excellent property in Victoria. Close to inner harbour and very walkable to major attractions in downtown Victoria. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Free underground parking is a major perk. Rooms are large and nice to have a kitchenette available.

Bedroom suite kitchen is well equipped. Great room with large balcony. Excellent parking under ground. Although advertised as soundproofed, you still hear traffic and people in the hallway but between rooms its quiter than most hotels I've been in. Check-in was not great as they didn't have the room ready until well after 4pm. Granted we showed up quite early, about 1:30. But they weren't that helpful about letting us know when it was ready, I had to keep coming back to the desk until it was. No effort seemed to be made to prioritize rooms for guests that have arrived which has been the case at many hotels I've stayed at in the past.

The hotel overall is really pretty and quiet. We would love to leave a five-star review but the shower was a really big-disgusting experience. Every time we took a shower the drain didn’t work and we ended up showering with at least two inches of undrained dirty water. Thinking about it makes me gag and future guests should be aware about this. We did tell the front desk and they offered a free coffee as service recovery. If you don’t mind those show conditions, you would be very happy, we are not.
