Very cozy little hotel

Lovely little place, the suite we stayed in was well furnished and extremely cute, really easy to get in and out, and it's just a short walk down the street from a parkade. The room did get quite hot and unfortunately there wasn't a lot we could do beyond opening windows.

The entire unit was very hot & stuffy, and only one room had windows that opened (onto a busy street). The conditions were bad enough that we could not subject ourselves to staying there. We walked in and walked immediately out of the hotel, gave back the cards and cancelled the booking.

The hotel is conveniently located, short walks to major attractions but the suite we have does not have air conditioning and opening the windows brings in noise from the busy street. The front desk staff we dealt with was very helpful & accommodating . The suite is very spacious but the furnitures especially the sofa & chairs needed a deep clean or be changed all together.

The location for this hotel is perfect for those wanting to walk the downtown core and see the main tourist attractions. The parking is less convenient, requiring you to park two blocks away and pay $15/day without in/out privileges - however, the lot is patrolled by security and there is drop off in front of the lobby. It was very clean and our unit had a kitchenette and loft bedroom - which would be great for families or people staying longer term. However, the amount of street noise and lack of proper window coverings (wooden slat blinds and no coverings on the bedroom skylight), made it the worst sleep I’ve had in a hotel. We faced Pandora Ave, and it’s a main bus route and where the garbage trucks go. There is car honking and hydraulic noise from 5-6am onwards and it doesn’t stop. If you get up early and don’t care about bright morning light, it might be tolerable - but we would only stay here again if we faced a different direction and brought eye coverings. It’s a shame because the bed was quite comfortable and the bedding was really nice.

George at the front desk was a star. Very friendly and helpful. It was very warm upstairs in the apartment and was difficult to cool down. I do realize that it was unusually warm in Victoria.
