Beautiful flower gardens, nice breakfast dining area. Only negative is no “other than pork” options fore breakfast. Some people don’t eat pork for various reasons. There needs to be a turkey sausage or turkey bacon option as well for example, considering the high price of the accomodations

El hotel es muy bueno, sus desayunos son excelentes, se duerme muy bien y estas cerca a todos los lugares turisticos. El unico detalle que no me agrado fue tener que pagar el parqueo diario del carro, es el primer hotel al que vamos que este servicio no esta incluido.

A perfectly quiet and clean hotel in the heart of the harbor. Nestled right beside the Victoria legislative building, so in a very convenient location near the harbor and many other attractions. Very clean and comfortable for an older hotel. We’d definitely stay again!

Amazing Breakfast-Great location

The breakfast was very good - probably on of the top breakfast include with stay I’ve had at a hotel. The location was perfect for visiting Victoria. The hotel needs some updating but the price was good and it was clean.
