I've spent 2 nights at this hotel, and let me tell you, the hotel staffs here are pretty cool! They are kinda funny, especially the manager! Excellent service overall. Hmm, I had a pretty big breakfast here. There is an indoor swimming pool here and that was totally unexpected. If you don't mind staying in an aged hotel, then its... More

If you're driving this is quite a way out of downtown Victoria, however there is a trail that can be picked up directly opposite the hotel called, the Galloping Goose trail ( marked on the map obtainable from the visitor centre at the Inner Harbour), this will take you about 20 minutes. I wouldn't advise walking with luggage to it... More

Worst hotel stay ever toilet kept running all night and was extremely noisy. At 4:30am animals where in the walls. If you don't want to sleep stay at this hotel. When the staff was informed in morning they laughed.

I have stayed here a number of times over the last few years when I've visited my family. I have found it to be very good value for the money. It has been clean and comfortable and I have made good use of the kitchenette. It does need some updating but it is conveniently located especially being just steps from... More

This hotel needs some updating but for the money it represents good value. The rooms are large and the mini kitchens have everything you need. That said the bedding, furniture and fixtures had seen better days. Our fridge/ freezer for example would loudly 'clunk' every 20 mins. The pool is large and very warm, but again dated. The staff were... More

The price was pretty good, and you get what you pay for. There is also a swimming pool here, and a small gym. The staff members were pretty friendly. The rooms were basic, but that's just nit-picking. Overall, it's well worth the money, would visit again. Anthony M

This property was a little run down. The duvet covers on the bed were old, one of the two beds bowed in the middle, neither bed was particularly comfortable, and the single pane windows let noise in pretty easily. Fact is, it's an older property that at some point was let to languish. It just seems a little dingy around... More

We spent 5 nights at this hotel and our sheets weren't changed once. We called the front desk after coming back and finding that our room wasn't cleaned again.
