Stayed here for two nights to meet friends who stopped by Victoria on a cruise. This hotel is less than 10min away from Swartz Bay ferry terminal which is convenient. Room is clean, spacious, equipped with microwave and fridge. Staff are very helpful and friendly. We arrived quite late and the front door was locked after certain hour, the staff came out to open the door for us. Breakfast is included and it is mostly self-service. During our stay, we could order waffle from the staff to be made in the kitchen. Though the breakfast area is not large, the attended staff keeps it very clean. She is also very efficient so that tables could be turn around quickly. They have good selection of baked items, eggs, sausages, yogurt, etc. The area is generally quiet and seems to be safe. Parking is free and brightly lit. Overall this is a very enjoyable stay and we will definitely stay again.
