The hotel is older but very clean and well kept. The room was clean and had a fridge and microwave. The breakfast is good, although no hot food for a couple of days due to equipment problems. Great location and there was lots of parking for $15 a night. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a good stay.

Very clean and well maintained hotel. Nice spacious room living room in our suite and a great breakfast included. Excellent location. Our only disappointment was the inflexibility when we requested a late check out due to a night flight. We offered to pay a fee but were declined, despite rooms being available. We were willing to move. There was no discussion to be had, just a straight no.

The hotel let themselves down by removing the hot breakfast options of bacon and eggs a fries to just a cold continental and waffles. Many I saw were disappointed. Even if the stove was broken there and this was not proven but there were options. The kitchen let you down.

We have stayed at this hotel four times over the years. Each time it gets better. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Situated in the picturesque harbour area, a short walk to Fisherman’s Wharf, a five minute walk to the ferries to Seattle and Port Angeles. A secure luggage storage area for those arriving early or leaving after checkout time. Excellent breakfasts and breakfast rooms. And most importantly, very comfortable beds. Our hotel of first choice when we next visit Victoria.

Great location close to everything yet quiet. The breakfast was excellent. The rooms were clean and comfortable except one of the queen beds was very noisy (as if it had a rubber sheet around the mattress or maybe the frame was the source of very loud noises anytime you sat on it and moved). The room had a bigger sized mini fridge and microwave which were handy.
