The staff were kind, friendly, and helpful, but unfortunately, the room was not clean. There was visible debris on the walls, and the space felt quite worn. The location, however, was convenient — close to restaurants, grocery stores, and right along the main bus line to downtown Victoria. During our stay, there were both jockey teams and wedding guests at the hotel, and the walls were thin enough that we could hear conversations late at night and early in the morning.
