I have stayed at this hotel for 10 years in a row to take part in the Victoria Marathon. The hotel has changed management and owners, they were very un-accommodating to the runners. Not anything like they were in the past, no paid for late check out, no water table for runners, no signs or encouragement. The staff made it sound like the event was a burden. This hotel is literally right on the start line and this marathon has been going on for 45 years. I am extremely disappointed and will not stay there again.
