The location is fantastic, easily walk to so many things! The staff was phenomenal and I cannot express how helpful and amazing they were I would recommend the hotel because the staff alone. Some items for people too keep in mind are; it is an older property, the rooms are a little small, so keep that in mind if you think you’re getting the Ritz Carlton. The property is well kept and very clean otherwise.

We left another hotel to come here and it was, as always, lovely. Staff is fantastic, amenities are great, location is ideal for downtown tourism. Will definitely stay here again and regret our first night in Victoria was spent elsewhere.
