The location is great, but the property is old with limited ameneties in the room. Also, dress code is draconian, and while it sounds ok, my leggings were acceptable but my non frayed lighter color jeans weren't. I wouldn't have minded if this were a 5 star hotel, but it isn't.

The library and reading room were fantastic, and the great place to relax. It would have been nice if they told us the elevator was out of order, especially being on the third floor. Also the dress code was a bit much and they didn't tell us about it until we checked in.

Property is centrally located in Victoria, plenty to do and see. Our ONLY complaints were the bed was too soft. We kept rolling into each other and we had to run the fan to keep the room cool at night. Please note the dress code in common areas (be prepared). No tennis shoes allowed
