Very nice accommodations, especially for the price, felt very home away from home. Well stocked kitchen, lots of pots/pans/dishes/etc, would be an excellent choice for a longer trip when you wouldnt want to eat out every meal. Still very close to downtown victoria, maybe 2 short blocks from the harbour, so very convenient location too. Only complaint is that we didnt have housecoats in our room, which was a little inconvenient after we showered. I'm sure we could have gotten them if we asked though, this was just probably a small oversight.

I've always loved the location of this property. It's affordable compared to a lot of options in Victoria. It's got some character too.

It is superbly located behind the BC Museum, a block from the harbour. The kitchenette is adequately supplied. There is no elevator however staff are very willing to assist with luggage and could not be more friendly. The room was extremely clean and I felt confident in the public health compliance which was very reassuring.
