Pros:

It was great having a full apartment kitchen. The view of the harbor from the balcony window was a pleasant surprise. Everything was very clean (including hallways) and beds were comfortable. They did a great job updating such an old building. Location was perfect - right downtown!

Cons:

The apartment is a little bit dated, but charming, clean and comfortable.

Comfortable stay, best location in Victoria. Hotel is historic so don’t expect new modern rooms or amenities, but everyt
Pros:

Best location in downtown Victoria, comfy beds

Cons:

No parking (though free street parking after 8pm), no AC meant the rooms were hot in the summer

Unique and quirky, which was a nice change from the usual hotel room.
Pros:

Our family had 3 rooms reserved with 4 small children included. The rooms all opened onto a courtyard which meant the kids (ages 2-8) could easily and safely go from room to room via the open doors. It was pretty great!
Small things, but I enjoyed the make-up remover wipes and the good light in the bathrooms for seeing hair and face prep.
I also appreciated the kitchen and the equipment it was stocked with. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming.

Cons:

We had a two story unit with the bedrooms on the upper floor and bathroom on the lower, which was inconvenient but unavoidable, I guess. I would have liked more electrical outlets near the beds.

Comodo se si hanno molti bagagli.
Pros:

Che in realtà era non una stanza , ma un grande appartamento . I letti erano morbidi e c’era una cucina.

Cons:

Molto brutta e obsoleta, il lavandino del bagno otturato.
